Hacking Cyclo ds and ez flash combo

[Geno_4_Ever]

My ez flash 3 in 1 should be here tommorow, according to the tracking. I want to play gba roms on it, anyway possible, but i want the save files to always work, and i want to know what tools i should use, since there are so many. So in short:

-What tool should i use with my cyclods to play gba roms on?
-How can i keep my save file, if said tool doesnt always save?
-I dont know which ez flash 3 in 1 i got, but i think its the simple one. So what does that mean i cant do?
-Whats the difference between the 2 different ways to load?

Thanks.

-the latest cyclods firmware supports loading gba roms from the menu, though you could use gba exploader if you want to save it to the nor
-it will always have a save file, unless the battery dies
-there is only one version of the 3in1 (not counting the lite/phat ones), it will have rumble, ram for opera, and the ability to play gba games
-nor is sort of like "permanent" (not the best way to describe it). it can be recognized as a gba game in a gba/ds. the game is stored even if the power is off, and saves are on the cart (does not save to your microsd) psram is temporary, and it will only store the game until power is turned off

The gba roms dont show in my cylclo, but as i said before i dont have the ez flash 3 in 1 yet. So youre sayin i just pick the game from the menu and it loads automaticlally? Where do the saves go? on the microsd?

 

[MFDC12]

saves will go under a folder named GBA_SAVE in the root of the memory card. do you have gba enabled in the settings menu on the cyclods?

 

[Geno_4_Ever]

Yayzard on the memory card!

That option isnt there. Im guessing the ez flash 3 in 1 must be inserted, which leads to the detection of it, which adds the option. So all i need besides the ez flash 3 in 1 and cyclo are the roms and im ready to go?

 

[MFDC12]

yep, just place em in any folder

 

[gratefulbuddy]

you should read the manual

 

[Santee]

are you on the latest frimware? 1.51 becuase gba support and save was added recently

Save stating (or rts, or whatever) is on my cyclo, yesum. But that other option is not. Ill wait for tommorrow
