I know this is a long post but please bare with me im trying to fit as much info in as possible in so i dont seem like some vague tard seeking a miracle, this is only because i respect the fact that the people working to help out, are not bogged down by idiots.
thank you
I have recently purchased an Ezflash 3in1 expansion to accompany my Cyclo DS.
In trying to solve these issues i have been sifting through post on this board to fix my problem, but to no relife.
these are my hardware specs on what im running.
-Nintendo ds black lite
-Cyclo ds evolution firmware 1.51 (slot-1)
-Sandisk 8gb Micro sdhc
-Ezflash 3in1 expansion (slot-2) (im pretty sure it is the one with the most recent chipset because the only tool that will recognize it is the gba_exploader v.58b)
at first i wasnt able to use the card in the way it was explained to me, i was under the impression that the cyclo ds had full functionality with an onboard program that was capable to write the the slot 2 device. Clearly that wasnt the case for me (upon executing a "clean"(i was told they dont need dldi patching) gba rom it said "no slot 2 device found". So thats when i went out looking for third party programs, at first i found Randolph's 3in1 programs but none of them worked neither did gbaldr. The only program that seemed to recognize my card is "gba_exploader v.58b". using that program i was able to run backed up gba roms such as sword of mana and various final fantasy gba games. Yet i still wasnt able to use opera. Now opera isnt a big deal to me really but i dont want to have a promised feature under contract that i paid for not to be useable for my 3in1. Now i have loaded quake 2 and it utilizes my ram and runs impeccably, so i know my ram functions. I found a post that stated you needed to run gba_exploader, and then activate your active ram, it resets then you run opera. At first i was even able to find that option in gba exploader, because it in actuality wasnt there, or i guess you could say hidden. Upon making a copy or my "reset.mse" moving it to the root then renaming it to "SoftReset.CEVO" (CASE SENSITIVE), i was able to use the commmand to utilize ram expansion in gba exploader. but upon using that option, it would reset i ran opera, and it still wouldnt find my ram.
Now i am told i dont need to patch the opera rom, but i have tried patching it and not patching it, and neither work. I have tried using the onboard cheats for cyclo ds that apparently enable ram for the 3in1, nothing. I also tried erasing the NOR from my 3in1 but hyperlisks programs although it runs on my ds when i go to clear my NOR, after setting it to clear 80 blocks, 40 blocks, 4 blocks, it says finishes in less than a second and then says it should be clear but it isn't. I have even made sure my rumble feature in my cyclods menu is turned off.
now i have exhausted all of my resources and im hoping someone from this forum can help me,
i have seen far too many vague posts saying
"I CANT RUN "INSERT GAME/PROGRAM PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!"
and it annoys the crap out of me
so if there is any info i am leaving out please tell me and i will respond with it when available
if my issue gets fixed then i hope to write out what ive learned to help others fix their problems with functionality
i know im long winded but its a lot of info
thank you
