Hi guys! sorry but i didn't found any solution. and the Flash advance linker xtreme.

I'm doing my best to try that the linker read the ezflash, but I'm not progressing on that. Any idea or help please?
I have the Ez flash III 1gb edition

@FlareReZ I guess it works on W10 too? i'm trying but always that I plug in it stays as "Unknown Device"
Yeah, old software like this would only run under Windows XP. Try setting up a virtual machine perhaps.

The drivers for those devices have never been updated for anything after windowsXP. I have a separate computer just for things like this. I did try to have a virtual machine, but getting the drivers installed was not working for me.

That's not the linker for that cart. You're after the EZ-Writer II that came with the EZ-Flash III cartridge.

The software and drivers are buggy af, only run on Windows XP, and the ROM writing fails more often than it succeeds.

I had this kit, and hated it so much that I didn't care how "rare" and "collective" it was, I did a straight-across trade with a Temp member on here for a (white MiniSD version) EZ-Flash IV. I was, afterall, just after a working GBA solution.

Thank you all, I will try to find the correct writer or save a little of money and buy the ez-omega or something else with microsd better.

I love my Omega DE. Flush fit and easy to operate. I have the EZflashIII, but haven't touched it in a while. I have to whip out my XP laptop each time I want to manage it and the battery has "run dry" ever since forever.

I still only have the original EZ-Flash IV that's white and takes a MiniSD adapter to microSD. I wanna retire it to my Gameboy Player.

  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    ...and I'm currently playing it - no crash so far. If I could, I'd live-stream
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Or play through it until you encounter a bug or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You should maybe hire beta/alpha testers to playtest your game while you continue to update the port, but that's up to you.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    I have been working on BLOOD for the Wii for a few weeks but that was 2 years ago until I noticed that it would randomly crash out of a sudden at some point and I never managed to find the origin of the bug.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @nitr8, Something like an USB Gecko would be extremely helpful for debugging. Not sure if there might be an IDA plugin which can do this wirelessly.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    That also was the reason why I never released it to the public. Which btw. is a shame because the game is basically "complete" and ready for release
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @nitr8, If you consider open-sourcing this, then I'm sure somebody could point out the bugs for you in the repository, such as walking through step-by-step on what it's doing.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    I have 2 USB Gecko's. I'm using one for debug printout messages while I use the second one for realtime debugging within Eclipse where I make changes to the code

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @nitr8, Ah good, having two is always handy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Not sure why you'd want to, but it's a good thing at least.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    You need two if you want realtime-debugging AND debug printout at the same time. The problem is that GDB (the GNU debugger) needs a connection over a serial port while the other one also needs a connection over a serial port. You cannot send debugging commands and printout messages over the same port. It just wouldn't work. I've tested this.

  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    I should probably see if I can run this natively on a PC using the original commits where I pulled the code from. Basically the repository is the same but the commits were different when it comes to the main game code and the engine overlay...

  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    BTW: I saw you mentioned me in the link to the ROTT wall bug where a moving wall exits the game map.

  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    The original developers put an image into the code which would be shown once this bug happens. It's the one you see at the end of the video and it's also the same image I'm using as an avatar.

  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    Anyway, I hope BLOOD will finally make it's way onto the Wii. I ported DOOM, HERETIC, HEXEN, STRIFE, ROTT and HEXEN II before years ago. I simply cannot imagine that it's too hard to get the game
    running stable.
