My EZ Flash IV just arrived this morning and I started to use it. Everything is OK sor far.
Here is short list of stuff I made for myself.
Some of these stuff may be outdated or not true at all.
Please confirm or correct.
1) Games have to be tranferred by using EZIV Client. It will create save files during process.
2) We have to rename each game and it's save file, so they don't have more than 8 characters(+3 for extension). Otherwise, game saves doesn't work.
3) Each folder can have up to 80 files. So save folder can get no more than 80 files. This means I can play 80 games with their save files at a time.
4) 32 MB games must be trasferred to NOR Memory.
5) While Using EZIV Client to tranfer games, I use "Add Save Patch" and "Reset" because they were selected by default. (Am I doing wrong? Should I only use them when needed?)
6) Classic NES Series gamers (Famicom Mini for Japan) can not be used by this cartridge. Or we have to find patches / patched roms for it.
7) EZ Flash IV cart will charge it's internal battery when GBA's power is on. It has Panasonic VL2020 rechargeable battery
[edit: Recent, compactly packed EZ Flash IV carts doesn't come with this rechargeable battery anymore. Instead they have a regular battery]
8) EZ Flash IV cart in not compatible with memory cards which has more than 2 GB. And it can only be used in FAT16 file system.
9) It's always better to use MiniSD Cards instead of using mini adapters. Many issues can be solved by just using a miniSD. Adapters can cause connection issues etc.
10) There is no Real Time Clock (RTC) in EZ Flash IV. So, games like pokemon series have to be patched in order to function properly.

unit: GBA-SP
cart: EZ Flash IV (GBA size)
cart FW: V1.720
