Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gyron_Oldvic" data-source="post: 7381321" data-attributes="member: 357711">Some problem games:0727 - Rocky (U) - Doesn't boot.1862 - Rocky (E) - Doesn't boot.1906 - Top Gun - Combat Zones (U) - Can't press any button at Main Menu.0033 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (UE) - Saving doesn't work.All the above games can be easily patched to work, but the clean roms of 'Rocky' and 'Top Gun - Combat Zones' don't work.With regards to 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2', even though it will appear like you have saved successfully, after you load another rom onto the EZ IV, then reload 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2', your career will be gone. Even the EZ Client can't Sram patch this game correctly either. It has to be done manually.Some things you might want to look into:Possibly create a 512 bytes dummy .sav file before the chosen rom boots if no .sav is present on the SD Card. The reason I suggest this is because if no .sav is present when you boot certain games, the options in the game can be messed up, rather than the original default settings. For instance, 'Lego Racers 2' starts completely silent without music and sound effects, and 'Lode Runner' starts with the wrong default option settings. This can be solved by just having a 512 bytes dummy .sav in the Saver folder when you boot these games for the first time. Obviously, the 512 bytes .sav gets overwritten by the correct size .sav on reboot, but the options are already set correctly just from the dummy .sav being there in the first place.Maybe create an option in the EZ IV menu to disable the 'on-the-fly' save patching routine for those of us who have already patched our game collection from previous years. This could make for better booting times like in the kernels previous to v2.00.Mother 3 (clean Japanese rom and English translation patched rom) don't work on EZ IV Micro SD (revision 0217). A number of users on here have reported this, and I have tested it myself on this batch and can confirm it doesn't boot (it passes the 'Game Boy Player' logo, then freezes on a white screen with static audio).There are some batches (two that I'm aware of) of the EZ IV Micro SD where it is very easy to accidentally wipe the firmware if you pressed 'R' on boot regardless of whether the "ezfla_up.bin" update file is on the Micro SD or not. It causes the kernel to be wiped every time you do a soft reset too. I don't know whether this could be fixed via the kernel for these revisions, but it would be nice if it could.For anyone who wants the 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2' save fix, I posted it <a href="https://gbatemp.net/threads/ez-flash-iv-save-problem-on-certain-games.431776/#post-6505885" target="_blank">here</a> a year ago.I would recommend it, for the reason I outlined above. You can use foobar's <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/5ijh684fcy0vrm4/ezgba-v0.2.0a-2.rar" target="_blank">'ezgba-v0.2.0a-2'</a> to batch create 512 bytes dummy .sav files for all your games very quickly.</blockquote>
