Client pack and new beta
Various developments from the EZFlash camp.
The EZ5 has a new beta loader out featuring some 3 in 1 features (including autopatching) and a new loader skinning tool.
3in1 new function
1. multi rom write
change the 3in1 mode in system setting between multi and single. GBA/NDS linker only works with single mode.
press A on any gba rom file in multi mode, the 3in1 option window will popup in lower screen.
press A on gba file again to write the file in order.
all command after gba name need double click.
rom write limited depend on the 3in1 nor flash size or 4Mbit sram saver size.
2. clean rom support
just copy the clean gba rom to microsd, it will be patched after write. no need 3in1 tools convert.
3. cht support
put the GBA cht file into CHT folder, filename same as the gba file name. cheat only works under EZ5. not standalone mode.
4. standalone mode
leave the 3in1 in DS also get the multiboot menu, but no cheat work.
the psram direct load involved with complex saver backup and load, maybe delay to next version(single mode only) or cancel.
Skineditor usage:
1. open the background
2. enable the element you want to display , non enabled elements will not displayed.
3. choose the icon bmp, bmp1=normal display(optional),bmp2=clicked display(must have)
4. you can change the text color
5. drag the elements to the postion you want
6. save the ini to your skin folder.
skineditor needs microsoft .net framework 2.0 to run.
A new EZ4 client pack containing all that you will need for the EZ4 has been assembled.
New Client pack containing all you need for the EZ4.
I put together a selection of the best applications, files and other things for the EZ4 and EZ4Client and updated the naming lists.
Note I am not sure if the Chinese names for GBA roms still work (I may have broken the encoding, the old file that should work but lacks the last 9 roms is included in the \Langauge directory called romname.lstold).
The DS naming list uses ADVANsCEne offline list format files which uses romanised versions of the names for the games rather than Chinese lists I have seen (yyjoy forums had one a few months back if I recall correctly).
The DS lists use a batch file and wget so it should be easy enough to edit though.
From the changelog.

Simply run updatelist.bat to update the list. Now uses ADVANsCEne DS dat as opposed to custom created list.
DS list updated to Zoo Tycoon 2 (Korea) using above tool.
Note that the list is optional and confers no benefits other than not having to type a name in.
There is a box available in the top left of the application to type a name in.
If using hacked roms or roms otherwise not in the list (the XXXX/ique releases are included in the list) add them one by one (as opposed to adding as a batch) for any rom not in the list and without a name will be called .nds (with corresponding save file) and if there are multiple occurences of this the original .nds will be overwritten.
GBA rom list updated to 2782 Bratz - The Movie (Europe). No new XXXX or homebrew added.
EZ4 patching dll update to 17th of July 2008 patch. Fixes Dragon Quest 5.
