Hello Everyone,

Long story short:

I'm using the EZ Client to copy GBA ROMs to the microSD card. After that I'm able to flash a game to the memory (NAND, NOR, whatever it is) and play the game. My saves aren't sticking, even though when I power up my DS the EZ Flash firmware writes the save.

Also, according to some guides I've read you can run games smaller than 16MB without flashing them. Is this just for the Deluxe model?

What is frustrating me is that I can't find any definitive guides on this same exact hardware. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Did you tick the "enable saver" tickbox when moving over the GBA roms?

Yes, I certainly did. I read somewhere that sometimes the units are shipped with faulty batteries, but I don't think that's the problem.

What about the problem with loading non-flashed games less than 16MB? Is that something you're familiar with?

I was looking at something a few minutes ago. I have an R4 as well and rather than boot from Slot 2 via the NDS firmware, I loaded it through the R4 firmware. The EZ Flash GUI is different, but I don't know if there's any real difference when loading it that way.

^im using ezflash iv, what exactly your problem?.
-ezflash iv have two different interface... one for nds n one for gba... if u boot to slot 2 directly, u will go to gba loader interface... --->patch your rom and enable reset function (using ezclient)... load your gba rom and play & save as usual... then restart your eziv (by holding reset button~i forgot, i think R+L+UP+A) and the saver will autosave your file into micro sd... thats all.

Do you own the Deluxe model or Compact? There's less SRAM on the Compact, which is what I own. I was doing more research and I think my problems may just boil down to not having the right amount of SRAM to load < 16MB GBA ROMs without flashing them first.

    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps3 really has no titles worth going online
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's what I sitting on now- 4.9, and it seems fine, have had no issues at all
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    I don't know if people play online or such
