Mmh movie? The old omega can play the official movie card roms too.
But make New?
Why? The resolution is smal and the frame rate low.
That's no good movie!

Rumble? How many games support rumble? 2!
How many ds games? Many more but is it good? I dont knew.

Goomba? Not really a good emulator from my view.
I take instead a gb/c card like ezflash junior.

It is more about the Shrek films
https://mgba.io/2015/10/20/dumping-the-undumped/
They used custom cartridge types (somewhat similar in ideas to some of the older consoles) to break the size limit that everything else (including the videos most already know about ( http://gbatemp.net/threads/buying-a-gba-flash-cart-in-2013.341203/page-18#post-4756995 ) used.
I agree it is likely not a massive selling point like a SNES flash cart suddenly being able to use all those nice special chip games but if it was easy enough to do then I guess they added it and it is a claim they can make.
I don't know what goes for using the extra space in homebrew (and I doubt meteo or the others will be able to take advantage of it) at this point. I am hoping we do get it though -- the GBA does not have the best media players but you can do nice things with them, and various programs back in the GBA era did already exceed that size for limited types of flash cart (see pogoshell).

Rumble
Yeah few games support such a feature.
They did release a guide to allow you to hack it into more games and as far as hacks go it is not that bad of one.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/make-your-own-rumble-game-for-ez-flash-omega-definitive-edition.580909/

The DS stuff I am waiting to see what goes for. I doubt they will be adding more games to the list of things the EZ4 supports (if at all) as much as GBA slot DS homebrew (there are a few things that work better there) or just a DS mode launcher to have a touchscreen and whatever else to launch games, maybe also pull from the DS clock to set the internal one.

Goomba vs hardware. Emulation on limited hardware will always be limited compared to actual hardware. That said if someone played the GB/GBC library on it they will certainly have a sense of the GB/GBC and be able to say they played all the GB/GBC games.

About movie, there is no good movie and new movie. but we are the only one flashcard on the market can play 512Mb(64MB) movie rom. Whether it makes sense or not, it's a fact.

About rumble, Many users in China have already played the rumble version of Final Fight, King of Fighters,Super Mario Advance. and they say they've never experienced like this on the GBA at before, with more hack rom on the way as we release our rumble rom hack guide.

About Goomba,compatibility is still the same as before, but it can support rumble gbc games now.

All official gba movie work on the old omega.
But why needed to build in more space for it when there is no Rom movie in that size.
And gba is not make for movie with the poor resolution and frame rate.
It not make sense.
And to say like "oh we are the only on market" is like "I have the longest penis".

It's only something to put the price high because it aa Feature to pay.
Every better Feature put On this Edition the price higher!

Rumble in final fight, King of fighter. Ok but not with a original Rom.
Super mario? Where in super mario is rumble usefull?
I see rumble in a mario game which is not 3d useless.
And a other thing is that the rumble drain more power because it dont have a separate battery like in Drill dozer.
You drain more from the gba Batterie and with a ips display it drain not low power.

I need only rumble on non portable Systems and gbi Support rumble over the gamepad.
The Batterie in a gba rumble game was not for nothing.

Yeah still the same old goomba and the gbc rumble make it not better.

@Liriel I have not read a single helpful contribution from you in ages, it's always nagging, demanding and even insulting in one badly formatted word salad. Could you explain what you want to accomplish with your last post in this thread? It reads like you want EZ-Flash to apologize for a product you have no need for?

@EZ-Flash2 I don't wanna create a new post to ask this simple question: will the different colored faceplates for EZ Flash Omega ever be sold again? I can only find Red faceplates and on a few third party sites, Orange faceplates. But what I really want is one of those blue faceplates. But I can't find them for sale anywhere. (Truthfully what I'd really love is a purple faceplate but I see you've never made those). Is there a plan to get more in stock soon? I'd love to give you money for one immediately.

blue and purple are sold in China only with a limited quantity(no more than 200 pcs each color). no reproduce plan anymore. try to find some deal on China second hand App.

I've just seen it on aliexpress for 96$. The question is: is it worth the extra 60$ over the normal Omega version?

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Old people games
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    its not the one that comes with the r4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    doesnt work (my flashcard is from r4isdhc.com)
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    might install ysmenu first
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    guys, my fuckin headphones have an out of place speaker
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Did you try wearing them?
