No info really (the title is something like stay tuned) but showcases a least a beta of the software. Menu is a bit basic as these things go but seems functional, and in shot is that 8 meg game that in English we probably know as Densha De Go! 2 or something similar (Romanisation is not an exact science).

I don't think anybody would fake this (the thread certainly does not seem to suspect it) and a person with the same username posted a bunch of stuff elsewhere for the Omega some time back so likely a good source.
Also further to the LSDJ stuff some people take this sound lark quite seriously, probably irrelevant here but for the sake of sharing cool links

Price bets, anyone?
I'm gonna say $50.
The shell of Release Version will be frosted white,
and the crystal one is super limited, only for people who tested ezjr with various mod consoles, not for sale.

It looks like it is available for pre-order at https://www.r43ds.org/products/EZ-Flash-Junior.html for $54.95 and I think I may just pre-order. I've been wanting to get the Everdrive GB but their price is out of my range for sure. I have had no issues at all with my EZFlash Omega, so if this is the same type of quality, it's going to be a decent card.
well...in fact, there is a QQ group of EZ team we talk and chat in, and all the pics you have seen about ezjr are shot by windirt. Thats why you see ezjr announced in tieba but almost no one replys.Thanks for the info -- it has been a few years since I spoke to anybody but windirt so I do not know who is who any more.
Do you know if anybody has tested with a super game boy (the SNES addon that does original gameboy, but occasionally adds colours, borders, bonus modes and multiplayer) as they can do some nice things. Indeed the multiplayer version of bomberman is second only to the Sega Saturn version and the PCE/TG16 versions (those that might have played it then probably the best versions of the megadrive and SNES take on the game).
PCB shots are also nice. Pulling from those
The big chip in the middle opposite the SD slot. Xilinx Spartan. Can't tell which sort and I don't want to go through manuals and listings right now match fonts and pin counts. Anyway that would be a FPGA, highly programmable chips that can do an awful lot and mimic and awful lot. They can be a bit power hungry but more recent ones do far better than the classic ones.
74LV1?27438 and what looks like the philips logo
Philips do have a bunch of chips with the 74LV1????????? scheme. Most of them are fairly basic logic operators though and given its location relative to the pins and FPGA I am guessing simple operations to get it into a state more suitable for the FPGA's or Gameboy's wants rather than anything particularly interesting.
Not sure what the BGA chips at the top are. Someone can play logo matcher if they want. Given their location on the PCB then firmware for the FPGA or extra memory for it.
Is that a button I see sticking up there? Not sure which of the uses that might be. Classic ones are reset, cheats activate/menu and savestate.
Can't read the text on any of the 8 or 16 pin chips but either the clock for the RTC stuff or more support/interfacing for the FPGA (in this case possibly between the SD slot and it)
I was hoping for cheaper. Looks like I might have to wait a bit for prices to come down or skip on it entirely,
I think most websites are using fillers right now on pricing so i wouldn't rely on them too much at least not until this coming week
Another thing is the everdrives ( official ones) appear to be $100+ depending on what version you get . Maybe the features are worth it to some but i know some people don't feel like dishing out that much money
50-60 usd isn't bad? What price would seem ok for you to consider?
