Hacking Erazing NOR Flash?

[mbcrazed]

So a friend of mine recently gave me a rom hack called Pokemon Dragon Stone. When it booted up, it said Erasing NOR Flash, What does that mean? Also, the Nintendo logo isn't on the game when it starts, it just freezes with the Gameboy Logo and a whole bunch of pixelated crap! Thanks for the help!~

Sounds like a disguised DSBricker, but I'm not an expert in GBA ROMs and flashcarts.

That being said, what is it running on? An emulator?

The NOR is a part of your slot-2 cart's memory used to boot larger roms.
What is your slot-2 device? What is the rom size of this rom hack?

Nope, my ez flash! I think I figured it out! I wasn't using gbaxploader when it was higher then 16 mbs and I already had KH:CoM in the NOR, so i think i just screwed up my KH! But now the other game is running perfectly!

Ez Flash 3in1, and 16.3! I didn't know it was that size, and I already had KH:CoM on the NOR, and I didn't run it on a new save, so I think KH just got over written! -_-

The pixelated stuff under the GBA logo sounds like either the NOR is corrupted, or it houses something meant to be run in DS mode.

I got it to run, but I think it over wrote my Kingdom Hearts memory that was to the NOR! -_-

Try running Kingdom Hearts again, the save is usually backed up in the sd card so maybe you didn't really lose it.

I ran it, Everything was gone! so, I have to reset all over again!
