Hi there, first time here!!
I have just received an EZ Flash Omega for my new Analogue Pocket and I have updated the Kernel, but can't do it with the firmware. Every time I turn on the console, it says that I can upgrade the firware (always from V00 to V09) and every time I accept, wait until finish and turn off the console, but I found the same message.

I've tried to play zelda a link to the past an it says that all the saves are corrupt and It cannot save (neither start the game, because it cannot create a new savegame).

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance :)

it can be fixed by Analogue side with firmware update. or us until we get an Analogue Pocket in year 2023.
I submitted a support ticket to them asking them to send one to you. They sent one to Krikzz.

At this point the community should just raise you some money to buy one on eBay. :hateit:

Unfortunately, you must complete the upgrade process on a regular gameboy advance, before you can utilize it on the analogue pocket. Otherwise it gets stuck in a loop on the analog pocket when upgrading

I'm having a weird version of this problem where putting it on a GBA shows it already updated just fine, but when putting it back in the Pocket, it stays stuck on the old firmware despite supposedly already being updated.

This is normal behavior for the omega right now with the pocket.
Yeah, I ended up doing more research after I posted and read other similar anecdotes. It doesn't really affect anything other than needing to hit B whenever I boot it up, so I guess it doesn't matter much. But it is weird.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
