Hi guys,

Today I received my ez-flash iv. After putting the ezfla_up.bin file on my MiniSD i started my GBA SP holding the R button, it immediatly gave a Erasing ok and a writememory OK, under it, it said "restart no_loader_found". Now I've tried several different versions of the ezfla_up that i found on the internet, each resulting in the same message. The weird thing is even if I take the MiniSD out of the Ezflash and turn on my GBA, it gives the same message. Do I have a faulty card? Is my miniSD not working? Eventho i can read the MiniSD on computer. Or is something else going on and someone knows the fix for it??

I've also cleaned the contacts of the ezflash with alcohol, and also cleaned the Mini SD.

It seems rare that you would get a bad cart, but I suppose that's a possibility... Are you using the well-circulated 1.72 with Clearlooks theme? If not, it's the one I recomment. Gives me no issues. Worth a shot.

I think I got that one, the problem is the cart either doesn't see the MiniSD or it can't read the file. It's very strange behaviour by the ezflash

Its a new revision of the card (3rd one I think), I have the same problem - tried to change the skin, initiated reflash and now I'm stuck with no_loader_found.
I have tried all launchers including new ones for cards with new NOR and nothing works on it. Will try to contact the seller, can't do anything with this card atm.

I managed to fix it, my friend had an EZ-flash IV with minisd and had no problem, i tried using his MiniSD and it could install perfectly!

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.

    I live maybe 3 minutes from a Dairy Queen, so I would just go there for ice cream anything anyways. I usually get the Oreo Blizzard, or a Peanut Buster Parfait.
