Hello I tried copying a ROM to NOR flash on EZFlashOmega DE, and it's stuck at 0Mb
Haven't powered off the console yet, what should I do ?
Is the EZ flash Omega Unit broken (not writing) ?

Thanks

1. format the nor flash
2. try to use a pair of fresh batteries since you are using an AGB.
3. ensure there is enough free space larger than the game which you want to write.
4. change another game to write, just for test. because I saw your game is 130mb(larger than normal game size)

thank you for your reply, I was trying to copy a Rom Hack of Pokemon on the NOR flash, I found out that normal games will copy just fine ( original ) but rom hacks won't, maybe due to how they are made byu shifting everything around

The NOR Flash works properly, but on standard GBA games, and I can still play my rom hacks by launching them from the SD with addons ! 😀

I have an EZ Omega and can confirm all of those hacks to be working. Pokemon Clover needs its header corrected (for some reason it says its Pokemon Emerald even though it's actually Fire red) so addons work properly. I have attached a patch that fixes the header.

The EZ Omega has two boot modes: Clean and Addon. The game will work fine if launched Clean through the Omega (it will be identified as Emerald when the save is initialized, but this doesn't matter because Emerald and Fire red use the same save type). The patch is to ensure the Addons of the cart work if one desires to use them.

To apply the patch, use Lunar IPS or the online patching tool at romhacking.net.
