Homebrew Freezing on Gameboy intro?

[smrr]

Hey guys!

Been trying to getthe homebrew Colors! to work on my phat NDS using the EZ-Flash IV - everything looks fine when I enter the Gameboy Adv mode - the startup is fine, the Nintendo logo is visible - it takes me to the EZ-Flash home screen (skin etc) - I start up Colors!.gba but as the Gameboy intro begins - the Nintendo logo below is blurry/fuzzy and after the sound of the intro finishes - it freezes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

P.s. sorry if my post is incomprehensible, it's 2:15AM, I've been trying to fix my issue for hours now. Also, I'm a newbie to Flash carts etc.

P.p.s. apologies if I posted this in the wrong section.

...isn't Colors! a DS homebrew app? It should be ran in DS Mode, hence one would expect a different extension (.ds.gba?) - otherwise the file will be booted in GBA Mode and it will confuse the system. Try that. Naturally you'll also need some kind of a PASSME device - this is why it's highly recommended that you just get a SLOT-1 device that doesn't require a SLOT-2 cart. Seeing that you have a DS Classic, all you really need is an R4, preferably R4iGold from R4iDS.cn (due to WOOD compatibility) or an Acekard 2i (unless you plan switching to the DSi or 3DS anytime soon).

Thanks a lot for your reply!

Hmm I assume a PASSME device is not downloadable? If that's the case I guess I might as well look into getting the R4iGold.

Damn I should have realised Colors! is a DS specific homebrew app :c
So my EZ-Flash IV will only hold (mostly) anything below NDS games right (GBA/GBC etc)?

And lol I love my phat too much to upgrade, but once it clunks out (hopefully not anytime soon!) I'll most likely be looking into a DSi XL

Edit: I found this: http://www.r4wood.com/products/Wood-R4-DS-Revolution-for-Nintendo-DS-{47}-DSL.html - would this be a more viable option if I'm only wanting to get that one DS homebrew app?
