Hardware GBA [EZ Flash Omega DE-B (Blue)] Mode B - RAM Option Pak does not work

sydstarwave · Sep 9, 2026

Hoping to get the attention of @EZ-Flash2 with this

I've tried every available kernel for the EZODE-Blue (as available on the ezflash.cn and linked filehosting website) and so far have been unable to get the Mode B - DS RAM Option Pak to work.

The Rumble Mode B Option Pak shows up on my DS correctly, but setting to RAM or Link in the Mode A menu, and switching to Mode B, will only launch the game in NOR.
(Or show "There is no Game Pak Inserted" if the NOR is empty)

Even setting the RAM mode and switching to Mode B, memtestARM (https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/MemtestARM) does not detect the RAM.

In my opinion, there is a missing option for Mode B, enable the Option Pak modes or present the NOR flashed game.

Let me know if there is anything more that I should try

Thanks!

It makes sense that it launches the game in NOR if it's set to Mode B, but for RAM it should work as a RAM Pak.

I have this exact same issue as well, I was wondering if the feature broke between kernel updates but I see you already eliminated that.
Also another issue, the instructions say to write the large GBA video roms to the NOR to play them but actually pretty much all the ones tried wouldn't run from NOR and booting from the SD into PSRAM was what worked, only the smaller gba video roms seem to require NOR flashing, which is the opposite of what was advertised and instructed. It seems EZ Flash is scamming us out of a core feature meant to justify such a price. Why don't they just make the kernel open source if they're not going to provide or work on fixes, let someone else do it so that we can also have our cheat library in English and not Chinese characters!
