    RetroPie 4.5 released, support for the Raspberry Pi 4 being worked on for a future update

    Whoo boy! Just you guys wait. Pi 4, once its fully supported is going to be a Beastie. In my initial and very rough hacky testing, I can confirm the Pi 4 can already: Mednafen PSX is fullspeed on some games, and a bit laggy on others. (Um Jammer Lammy (PAL) yes. Rival Schools. No) 2X...

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega not working on my GB Micro after latest update

    What helped me get my cart working on my Micro is to open it up, put a little bit of folded paper behind the circuit, reassemble and put it in the gba. Works great now!

    Hacking Ez Flash Omega not saving on Fire Emblem

    They have though. In the test flight thread thread just under this one they speak about how they disabled Fire Emblem's auto-save and allow you to save manually and at the end of the chapter. Have you tried that one? It's in the first post of that thread.

    Hacking Whats the best flashcard for GBA and where can i get one? (UK)

    For GBA/GBC flash carts delivered to the UK quickly (and I mean QUICKLY), you can order them from Retro Towers. Ordered a Everdrive X3 GB from there, came within days. Really good quality item. However, that cost £60. The GBA Everdrive X5 is like £95. It's very expensive. The EZFlash Omega or...

    Hacking EZ-FLASH OMEGA test flight

    One thing I will note about my Ezflash Omega that was having freezing issues in my European GBA SP 001 is that when I launched the .gba file to flash the firmware its said something like v004 -> v100. I played about 45 mins of Advance Wars 2 last night with no freezes with these latest files...

    Hardware Weird EZ Flash Omega problem...

    If its issue with certain files not showing up like I experienced, I got a fix for you. Ctrl+A all your files, right click, go to the advanced button on the bottom of the first properties tab that comes up (tell you how many fiels you selected and all that). There should be a tickbox for...

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega Observations

    I've had a few freezes still with this 4gb microSD I'm using. So I might try downgrading and see if that improves. Again, using a AGS-001 European SP for reference here.

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega Observations

    Not played my GBA SP all day. Decided to play some Metal Slug Advance. Guess what? Error 4 again. Corrupted Saver Folder again. Ugh. This card has no issues in the Everdrive GB I use it in as far as I know but on here it's being a real pain. Guess I need to dig up some more microSDs to test...

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega Observations

    Aha I think I solved the DKC3 issue for me at least. Turns out that ROM was an old one I had and not one from the No Intro set. Extracted the nointro version and it seems to run fine for me now. No crashing after one or two levels. It may be an unusual case of file deterioration over time or...

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega Observations

    I already formatted the card anon and recopied everything I took off back on. Certain games definitely have issues with freezing. Donkey Kong Country 3 seems to freeze a lot for me. Everytime I play it I get a level or two or three into the game and then freeze. Before I can even save the game...

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega Observations

    I've been booting roms clean outside of a few tests, and I've been using roms from the nointro romset. I'll give cleaning the contacts a go. Couldn't hurt. Not had a crash with my Everdrive X3 GB as of yet though and I use that loads. (They're sharing the same microSD card too) As for romhacks...

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega Observations

    Hi. I've had my EZ Flash Omega for a few days and Ive been testing it a lot and I thought I would keep track of unusual things I have noticed. This is all on the latest firmware on a GBA SP. 1. Some games have graphical glitches when patched to support ingame save states and reset. Lady Sia is a...

    PSA: PAL SNES ROMs DO work on the SNES Mini

    I've only ever added U roms to my Snes classic and its a PAL one. Never come across this issue.

    Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

    Lets put it this way: Star Fox and Star Fox 2 already run really bad on the 2010 core on the SNES classic. The built in emulator, despite its flaws, is very efficient at running these two games, so much so that it can turbo boost them. Overclokcing the games in the Snes9x2010 core only makes...
