I am having a serious problem with 8GB sandisk class2 and hardware 705. All hacks (softreset, etc) are off.
A lot of games that worked fine just before v12 upgrade (from v5) are now crashing, including The World Ends With You (jp name: subarashiki kono sekai) and Pokemon Platinum (which crashes pretty fast), among a lot of others. (there seem to be problems with more games than not, but then again, there's over 4k of them and my sample's pretty small)
Slowdowns and audio cuts are being noticed in most games. I suspect the microsdhc card's being driven at a slower speed or with loose timings, causing the slowdowns which in turn crash games that expect having the data ready.
Seems from other threads here and in the official ezflash english forums that some other people are experiencing this issue, too.
For those with this issue: Please state your Ez Vi hardware revision (705 or 805) and the details about the MicroSDHC card (brand, size and class. Class is very important because I suspect this is tied to class2).
Everybody else should at least think twice before upgrading, specially if using class2 or slower cards and 705 hardware revision, since those seem to be the common points so far among those with the problem.

Update
An EzFlash person has announced there'll be a v13 for 705: http://ezflash.sosuke.com/viewtopic.php?f=...973&p=62626
I do not recommend upgrading to v12 if you have a 705: Wait instead.
Update
v13 did improve things for some testers and didn't for me.
I'm testing v14 with pretty good results.
If you have a 705, wait for v14. Looks like it's gonna be out soon enough
.
Update
v14 is out. Fixes this.
