Hacking EZ-FLASH Junior TestFlight

Whoa, it's been a while; @nitro2k01 linked me to this thread in the GB dev Discord server.
That's some nice progress!

@EZ-Flash2 what are you using as your time source when the cart is running? My tests use the CPU clock as a reference. A 0.3% difference is actually quite large... which is surprising.

it seems the crystal oscillator causes this, If we can confirm that this error is a fixed value on all cards, we can consider manual correction.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

Great news! Hopefully it can be solved soon!

performing the same test my tick expresses as 996.9ms opposed to 997ms (using v4 of this test https://github.com/aaaaaa123456789/rtc3test/releases/tag/v004)

using FW5 kernel 1.0.4

Yay! It's time to take Pokemon Midori another ride!!

Sweet so release in a week?

Would there be a way to show covers similar to how omega shows them? Even if it's small in the right bottom corner .. show a small cover would be a great addition in a new fw

[mention]EZ-Flash2 [/mention] awesome news! If I get your posts right, you are getting really close on getting the RTC working nicely! Nice!

Yep, close to getting emulation of RTC with a decently high degree of accuracy

 

[Stirfry8993]

Gotta admit, I'm VERY excited!!!!!

But, with the newest test firmware and kernel, the Prism still have time shift problem. play time will be included in the time shift. other commercial games like Keitai Denjuu and Pokemon Crystal are not affected.

Well this entire debacle was about that dame rom hack pokemon prism that isn't a commercial game

This is not my opinion, after all, the previous RTC simulation code does have flaws that cause problems with commercial games. Now that the RTC simulation code is getting better, I plan to discuss the problem further with @aaaaaa123456789

These are my test results fyi with a modified genuine cartridge with an MBC3 mapper. It runs Prism great btw.

It's nice to see how a rom hacking scene game indirectly and then directly contribute to your kernel and firmware perfection! Keep Going!
