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 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.

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

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

    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "OK Cortana I want that mountain a little taller and more snow on top, and I would like some random ancient pine forest around the bottom"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
