Two days ago I've recieved my EZ flash Air that is also my first flash cartridge for my GBA. Most of GBA roms don't work at all or glitch and even crash which was unexpected.
Included 64 GB SD card did not detect half the times booting and corrupted GBA roms after transfer. GB and GBC roms seem to work flawlesly.
In desperation I decided to buy 32 GB Samsung SD card. This one, while detecting every boot, also corrupts GBA games. The wierd thing is that it stopped displaying all files only showing 2-3 first positions.
I have also tried it with generic 2 GB SD card but it has also been unsucessfull.
I have formatted all of the SD cards according to the manual and updated the kernel to newest version.
All 3 cards work perfectly on PC reading and writing files.
Is there any fix for these issues or should i consider returning AIR.
On the picture the most glitching (but also not crashing on startup) game GT Advance 3.

Have you tried testing your SD cards with a tool like H2testw (Windows) or f3 (Linux)? If you bought your cards from places known for fakes like AliExpress or Amazon, then it might have a false capacity. Fake SD cards will overwrite anything over their true capacity leading to data corruption.

I will test my cards with tool you recommended and post an update when completed. 64GB card was included with the cartrige from Senkogames and 32GB Samsung is from local electronics store. I also noticed that when formated to exfat 32GB Samsung shows full directory but problem with not detecting every second boot reappears. 2GB is not worth the effort as its trash from aliexpress.

According to H2testw both of these cards are good.

Did you update the firmware? Make sure that the number in the menu matches the one on the website

Sekno support offered sending me another one if i send this one back and they will cover the shipping costs so if new works it will be all good.
