Users keep complaining their sd card corrupted since the product launch. after a long time investigate in Chinese user community. it seems we found the reason.
Every user of EZ-FLASH OMEGA remembers the infamous rhyme: Counting 1 to 5.
But there are two other things to remember. in the user manual - Important Note, it said the save states and emulator menu also need counting.
We've found the card corrupted users like to choose the exit option when they want to exit the emulator. it is the main reason which cause the card corruption.
There are two triggers which the emulator use to activate the save function, 1. Press L+R to summon up the main menu, 2. exit the emulator to card os. They are working well when used on common flash card which use SRAM + battery. but not well on EZ-FLAH OMEGA.
The save mechanism of EZ-FLASH OMEGA works like this: A thread is watching the SRAM on the card. if the SRAM is changed by the save function of game or homebrew. write the SRAM data to the microsd card. the write process need a little time to open, write and close the file. that is why we need a counting 1 to 5.
The user choose the exit option in emulator, the emulator activate the save function and reset to kernel. the file open, write and close procedure is interrupted by the reset. a bad file cluster is generated on card. again and again, the bad file clusters corrupt the card.
Conclusion: Please press L+R and wait 1-3 seconds then power off when you want to exit the emulator.
