EZ-Flash V Kernel 1.40

Internal Hyrbid Mode, Save backup improved + more

An update for the EZ-V has been released which brings with it quite a few changes. It integrates hybrid mode directly into the kernel rather than using the separate Hybrid tool to patch ROMs. This means if you have a slow micro SD card and a game like Castlevania lags just enable 'Hybrid' in the system options and it should run lag-free.



Support for the Pokemon migrate feature of Diamond and Pearl has been added for the 3-in-1 Expansion Pack among other things.

1. Modfied the saver backup method. only backup/write the saver when the rom changing.

2. Add the hotkey for manual backup saver. L+SELECT

3. Add the light adjustment hotkey. L+UP/DOWN

4. Modified the file size to MB/KB shortname.

5. EZ 3in1 card improve. support Pokemon migrate

6. Add the internal HYBRID mode in system setting.

There are some great additions here however Soft Reset doesn't seem to be integrated into the kernel. Many thanks to Athlon-pv for the heads up!

Nice ... EZ-V is starting to become some serious competition for R4 ...

 

[Icarus]

I wonder how exactly this Hybfrid mode works ?

 

[stop_loading]

how's the hybrid affect battery life though?

 

[Athlon-pv]

it doesnt ?

Rom is stored at point X and when it is transfered bytes would be changed before execution ...

Since when was R4 competition for the EZ-5 ?

Curses, I only got mine yesterday so I've only just installed the previous one! That means I've gotta get the microSD out again; when Opium said new EZ-V's eat fingernails for breakfast he wasn't kidding. My poor poor thumbs! (but it's so worth it)

Why doesn´t this update appear on the ez homepage?

Another question: whats the difference between kernel and loader?

Updates tend to appear on the ezflash.cn forums ( http://www.ezflash.cn/bbs/cgi-bin/topic.cg...topic=50&show=0 ) or sosukes first and then migrate to the frontpage.

kernel aka loader: the stuff that sits on the EZ5 telling it what to do.
shell: the stuff that sits on your microSD giving you some nice images to look at while you select your game.

Thank you. Well, I know what the shell is. I got confused, because on the sosuke forums they first mentioned the loader and later they were talking about the kernel. That´s why I asked!

if i had the 3-in-1, and an R4/M3, for example, how would i update the 3-in-1 firmware, or does it only update properly from an ez-v?

There is no 3-in-1 firmware. You don't need to update it, only the EZ-V.

great! thanks for clearing that up - think i'll go order a 3-in-1 then!
