Hardware EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition - Classic NES Series issue

EXPowerBlast · Sep 28, 2022

I've got an EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition, latest kernel and firmware, but for some reason, no addons work with the Classic NES series games. The games themselves work fine, but I can't bring up the Reset/Save/Load menu.

On a related note, do the integrated sleep modes (Metroid Zero Mission, Classic NES series, etc.) simply not work on flash carts? All I get when I try to select it is a white flash, then the game resumes.

Can anyone help with this stuff?

This has been a long standing issue with EZ Flash carts. This thread may help you if the Omega DE has the same problem as the older EZ Flash IV. Be aware that sleep mode with a flashcart will drain a lot more battery than a real cart.

EDIT: I successfully patched Metroid this way, so it should work for the rest too.

I see. I'll look into that thread, thanks a bunch. Is the issue also shared by the Everdrive flash carts?

I don't own one personally so I don't know for sure - but I have read that the Everdrive GBA does not suffer this sleep mode issue. Power consumption in sleep mode and in general is also better than an EZ Flash, but worse than a real cart. Also, Everdrive does not support patching for an ingame sleep/reset/save/load menu.

Alrighty. Thank you for the help.

They work unpatched on a DE if your using simple custom fw

Thanks for the info, I'll test that as well

So I tried the simple kernel, to no avail.

Then broken L/R keys?

Oh no, the kernel itself worked fine, but the results with the NES games are the same, can't bring up the reset/save/load menu, even if it works with other GBA games
