Classic NES Series not working on EZ Flash Omega (FW9)

[TechieSaru]

The Classic NES Series is no longer working on the EZ-Flash Omega as of the latest firmware (FW 9). The games will start but the controls will not work.

Those had DRM, if I'm not mistaken. Try to patch them, and see if that helps.

That's not necessary. The kernel automatically patches them. There is an issue in the firmware.

So the newest firmware forgot to include the patches. You have two options... patch the roms, or wait for the next firmware and cross your fingers they include the patches.

No, they are not working on both products. the AP codes actual missed pack in.

Oh I'm using the simple cfw and they work on ODE

Any update on this?

The current update has not yet merged the AP code, for this batch of ROMs you can either patch them with the AP patch yourself, or as mentioned in the post above, use CFW instead.

Would be good to have this fixed soon please.

The proper way to fix these games is to mirror the ROM across the entire 32 MB addressable area of the GBA. EZ-Flash can easily add a mirror mode via FPGA (firmware) update. Alternatively fill the entire PSRAM with mirrors of the game.

There are 2 types of ROMs used in retail games. The ones that will return no data on out of bounds reads (almost all) or the 8 mbit Classic NES games which mirror the ROM because one data line is likely unconnected.

That's good info and could be considered the best way to fix it, but from my perspective as a user I don't mind whether it's done like that or by automatic patching, as long as it allows the use of unmodified ROM files on the SD card.

@EZ-Flash2 Is this update still coming?

 

[hippy dave]

@EZ-Flash2 plz fix bug thx

 

[Shadow#1]

@EZ-Flash2 Can you please answer us? It's been two months now and it would be nice to have some clue about the status of this.

The ap code does not include in the current kernel.

If you are very eager to play these games now, you can choose to manually ap-patch these ROMs or use @Sterophonick 's custom kernel at here.

You said that. Any update on when it will be fixed? Thanks

 

[EZ-Flash2]

There is no estimated time for this, it will probably be in the next kernel update.

@EZ-Flash2 I reported this issue two months ago and you still have no clue when the update will available? Really!? I'd like to know why this is taking so long, after all the DBZ anti-piracy was addressed in this amount of time.
