Hacking EZ Flash Omega - Save State Issues

[prizna]

I'm having some issues with the save state function of my EZ Flash Omega, I'm playing Metroid Fusion and I can create a save state fine, but after loading the save state, I can still move in game but the sound is all messed up, making ringing noises.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I'm using Firmware 7 and Kernel 1.07

thanks,

edit: I just had a freeze while creating the save state, so maybe there is more of a problem than I thought.

Hmm back up and test your sd card with h2testw

If you've ever read the product manual (you can scan the QR code on the kernel help page), it says the following

Sound turn to noise after load game states: The sound register of GBA hardware is write only, it can not be saved and restored. Change a scene should get the sound normally. But there are some game exceptions, the sound will never return to normal. This is a limitation of the GBA hardware itself and it is not a defect of this product.

Each run of save states is a complete dump and complete write to the system memory, which may cause a crash due to register permissions, after all, this is running on real hardware, not an emulator on a computer. Because the emulator on the computer has higher read/write and fault tolerance.

Thank you for the info.
