I recently bought an EZ Flash iv cart, and it hasn't worked so far. I've been fixing it up, newest firmware and all that, when suddenly every time I plug it in I get the Game Boy Colour boot up screen with Nintendo blacked out. Anybody have any idea what I can do to fix this? Thanks.

The actual Game Boy Colour boot screen because that would be odd? (GBC modes on the GBA and SP are launched by a little tab/switch being pushed down inside it).

A dodgy nintendo logo on the GBA screen usually indicates a bad header but in practice unless you are loading a game it tends to mean dodgy contacts so give them a clean (a cotton bud and some rubbing alcohol or proper acetone nail polish remover in a pinch- not the stuff mixed with other stuff unless you have proper contact cleaner).

Ah, I see now. Seems I was just forcing the Flash Cart into the GBA (probably a bit frustrated) too hard. I pulled it out a bit from where it was and it works fine. I'll try cleaning it later, too. Thanks, Fast.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
