Hi, I have a GBxCart RW + FlashGBX, and I'm trying to write an emulator .sav to a batteryless SRAM repro cart (FlashGBX identifies it as: Save Type: Unlicensed 512K SRAM 64KiB, Cartridge Type: 2006_TSOP_64BALL_6106 with W29GL128SH9B). My emulator save is 131088 bytes ("Pokemon - Emerald Version.zip"; 128KB + 16 byte header I think). Every attempt to write it via FlashGBX ends in either "save file was erased due to corruption" or it reverts to a previous save. I also tried patching a fresh Emerald ROM with the gbarompatcher website (SRAM Batteryless patch) and writing that instead, same result. I dumped the SRAM after making a test save on the cart and ran it through Python to check the sector structure, the magic bytes don't match standard Emerald format (expected 0x08012025, getting values like 0x01006f4f). PKHeX also rejects the dumped .sav with "unsupported file type/size" even though it's 65536 bytes. ("FreshPatched.zip" is a rom and save dump from after I wrote the patched rom to the cart, and "TestSave.zip" is a save on said patched rom up to the point of acquiring a starter, and then saved at Route 101. I progressed to the same point for "OG.zip") Writing to the OG, Patched, and Test-Saved roms through FlashGBX and injections all ended in errors, regardless of how many times I tried to read the bytes and find the save point. At some point in the process, it started saying that the SRAM size was 64KiB even though I could have sworn it was saying 128KiB for a while but then it changed and I don't know how or why that might be. Maybe I'm just going insane. I've been doing trial-and-error for two days now. Questions: What save format does a batteryless SRAM cart like this actually use, and is it compatible with a standard emulator .sav at all? How can I write my save properly to a cart like this? Is there a tool to convert/inject an emulator save into the format this cart expects? Thanks in advance.

Need EZ Flash Omega DE help with using cheats on Pokemon

So I bought the EZ Flash Omega DE a few years ago, finally got time to unbox it and set it up.
I just want to play Pokémon on it and use it's cheat features to capture shiny Pokémon's in Pokémon emerald.

However, the cheats that are downloadable on the EZ flash website are all in Chinese and after opening up the Pokémon emerald .cht files with notepad++ and translating on google translator I realised there are no shiny Pokémon encounter cheat codes, as well as, other respectable cheats that are expected to be on the list.
I proceeded to test the other codes such as money never decreases cheat (a pointless cheat compared to shiny encounters or codes to trigger event-exclusive pokemon). But it didn't work after activated the cheat and starting pokemon emerald with addon and accessing the L+R+Start menu to turn CheatON.

So I am wondering am I doing something wrong? do Pokémon cheats not work on EZ Flash Omega DE and is this typical for other games? is this the typical experience from everyone?

Does anyone know how to create personal cheats for EZ FLASH OMEGA DE from the gameshark codes that actually work?

Thank you
