I just purchased the EZ Flash Jr and a modded gameboy pocket, I'm using a sandisk 2gb card on firmware .4. it worked perfectly on my GBA ags 001. It worked for the first game I played on the Pocket then it got stuck in a loop and never loaded again after I stopped. is there a solution?

Where does it get stuck exactly? The official site says "Known issue: if user does not have an enough fast speed SD card. it will halt in LOADING or OSINIT screen after upgrade.", this pertains specifically to the 1.05e release candidate FW. Did you update to that recently?
My experience with older non-SDHC SanDisk cards is they are VERY slow. Slowest cards I have owned (I test every new card I buy with CrystalDiskMark to make sure they deliver), a decent non-HC card will have at least 13-14MB/s read speed. But that doesn't take into acount IOPS (operations per second), which may also matter for the EZFlash Jr.
I use Toshiba 4GB MicroSDs that came out of a 3DS XL and a n3DS non-XL and have not had loading issues from cold boot. But the reset button doesn't work, it causes it to hang on loading, think that might just be a bug with the release candidate FW though.

Get this. I popped in an older almost dead battery and left a fresh one in there and it seemed to work fine. It was getting stuck in the loading loop after the Nintendo screen with both the smaller and larger, faster SD card. I'll keep everyone posted.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
