I had an EZ Flash IV, that thing is garbage. SRAM and savegames management is a pain in the ass, the SD card falls in the shell because of a bad design and finally it stopped working after an SMD capacitor just fell off because of general bad solder job.
They won't get any money from me, as I said when the Omega was released.

Regardless, I'm very happy you shared that. Thank you for the news! Waiting with bated breath - the only thing I want from the X5 is standard cart height, if it took an X7 for that to happen, or a redesign of the X5, I'll take it either way.

Yeah did not know a redesign was comming. When that one is finally out and people tested it I can get rid of this omega crap and get that one. fingers crossed.

Let me make it clear: in the end, this card can still be saved normally. You just reformatted the microsd card and copied all the GBA files again.

This indicates that the microSD card is on the verge of crash, even you can launch a game properly. but the file allocation units of SAVER folder were damaged which is caused by a previous write interruption. so it can not create or modify save file in the folder. it looks like none game can be saved.

But I doubt that the topic which you said Omega will damage the GBA file on the card, unless you have hash verified the ROMs stored on the card and the original version of ROM. And you also said that the GBA files can be saved normally after it is copied to the card again. If it is a damaged GBA file, it should not be launched or saved properly. Anyway, it just for a clarify not an accuse.

We apologize for the poor experience brought to you by the product. We will further improve file system compatibility and save file security through software upgrade in the future. We respect users' choice of our products and actively respond to each user's questions. After all, we are the one of few development teams in the current market that can actively interact with the user community.

who wants to do that tho we'd have to back up our save on a daily or bidaily basis id rather buy your competitor

is there a solution now? I play pokemon blue and it saves the 1st save, but non of the following saves.
i got a brand new original san disk extreme and i wait at least 10 seconds after it says it saved the game
before i turn off my gba sp.also my omega has the latest firmware/software installed. its very annoying to
the point where it does not make sense using it..maybe i got something in the settings wrong?
