Hacking EZ-FLASH Junior TestFlight

[JMSMORIARTY]

One last question, can I downgrade the FW ? I prefer stay on the stable version until new one is posted.

And thank you both for your time.

Yes, of course you can , just use the files from the EZ Flash web and flash it as if you're updating.

Well that don't make sense to me, how that TFT dont have problems and a Backlighted DMG yes ? thats way more power consumption imo

Ikr if it makes a difference in using rechragable 2000mAh nickel metal hydride batteries

IFAIK, there is a DMG ips mod come with 6V resistor(not sure what is, just they called it) on their PSU board, it will cause issues with Jr. Their seller sent new resistor to buyers to replace, and issues gone.

you can find the detailed info on official web, the disscusion section of Jr page.

@JMSMORIARTY ah see my asumptonds r true so the drop in backlit TFT replacment does not pull as much volts/amps as the IPS replacments do

The DMG screen is the old old one, wich is the little plastic with LEDs, no the fancy one of this year wich replace the whole motherboard.


Here is working and saving on a AGS 101 GBA so I don't get what's the problem




So there is no fix for power consumption ?

you can add a voltage regulator somewhere, although I‘m not sure which models are actually a problem...

I always said is the first backlight mod, this, but the v2.

Then remove the backlit kit and test again

Right now I'm will not put at risk a 5 years old mod, I atached a GBA 101 working perfectly.

I can give the pocket have power problems because of the IPS mod and the 4.1V limit, but the DMGobvious don't have one for 4 LED's also the video of the working GBA.

If it's really a power problem on all three (Making like the vid doesn't exist), thats a hardware issue on the cartridge wich should be checked on design.

No the screen mod makers need to get off ther asses and fix the problems not EZ-Flash team

... I have just created the "SAVER" folder manually and now it works....

@EZ-Flash2 you should check this "bug?"

Maybe happened before to other people...

No that's up to the user to place said folder on the SD card

In the EZ omega that folder is generated by the cartridge itself, and 0 tutorial is seen in the website so I tought it would work the same since is a newer product.

No and on my Omegas I put that folder on myself as I use custom fw

Great! Finally. Yes that's weird I have already tested like 8 EZFJr and like 22-25 EZF Omega and they ALL created the "SAVER" folder by themselves and it's fast (Even on a couple of Juniors with an RTC Issue).

About your issue there was a guy on reddit with the same behaviour two months ago (he didn't mention the console he was using) but he never got an answer and also another guy I don't remember if it was here or in another forum that was just able to start saving his games by adding the Sav file from an emulator.

IMPORTANT

And mate, did you tested with less files? because if I transfer the full Rom Sets of GB and GBC in two folders I have to wait like two minutes or more for the first Backup Save Square to appear (the one that creates the "SAVER" folder), and games take like 8 times longer to load. I'm using class 10 microSD cards, so if you are using slower ones, the time will be just higher and can lead to errors or freezes.

Nope, when I tried less roms yesterday and get the same result, I put them all again, and my games apart from color wich takes like...30 seconds.. the GB are inmediate.

Ok, It was just to discard causes. In the past the EZFJr had some problems with the number of files and directories optimization.

Then I guess they are right and it's maybe an issue with your consoles and power delivery, because when I was referring to "8 times longer to load" I was talking about 8 seconds, not 30 seconds :s that's a lot, and that is with all the GB&GBC Library loaded, In normal circumstances all of them load immediately (Class 10 microSD's). With old-slow microSD cards it takes like 4 seconds.

Even on backlight or frontlight,menu font contrast keeps the same, low. I wish the OP changes that
