thanks for the update Sterophonick.

Got 3.8 running on mine. Love it - Thanks!

Learning about the EZ-Flash AIR and it reminds me a lot of the legacy cartridges with how you only have NOR flash available. It appears to be a very cut-down version of the Omega DE, very very good for those on a very tight budget

I've already picked up an EZ Flash Air and I'm keen to play around with it. Fingers crossed for a kernel source release.

Don't get your hopes up for a release of Simple unfortunately. The lack of PSRAM makes it much much more difficult to support PogoShell plugins.

That's fine, I was thinking of taking a crack at some enhancements myself.

Going to be that guy here sadly. I still seem to have visual glitches with Pokemon Crystal and cant seem to figure out why. I am under the impression that Simple runs the Jagas Goomba Color. Looking for in site. I have used the updated Simple theme, its great and appreciate the efforts on this!

Nevermind - I figured it out. Thank you again!

I'm having some issues with the theme and the GB and GBC emulators:
- with the GB emulator i cant exit to EZ menu
- with the GBC emulator when i exit to EZ menu the sd list is empty so i have to reboot the console

Any ideas on how to fix this strange behaviors?

Update v1.52 (DE):
- Updated to changes of Kernel 1.06.

Original Omega users do not need to upgrade.

I recently got an EZ Flash Omega DE and installed the latest Version of SimpleDE Dark on it, and the sans serif font looks a lot better than the default firmware's cheap-looking serif font

Hi Sterophonick, just wanted to say thank you for your work you and your team have done. I've been using it for my Gameboy Advance and it has been wonderful. Just a side note, sometimes games from systems other than the GBA do not show and I cannot get the sleep function to work, but that may be a result of something else. Keep it up

Honestly not sure what can be done about those, weird hiccups and game quirks are not too out of the ordinary even on my setups

 

[GBALover646]

No worries at all, for some reason the games only show if I put the .gba file of the emulator, like PocketNES.gba within my NES folder, but it's not a big deal.

 

[Sterophonick]

What I do for my setup is I have each individual system in its own folder, things can get messy if everything is in one big folder, might need to try that if you haven't already.

Also if files aren't showing up in the menu, check there aren't any archive or hidden attributes set on any files/folders.

Ooh yeah, that too.

Now I'm wondering if it'd be possible to get a version with the Red Rescue Team text box font

Hello all!

I have been working on a new theme for the EZ-Flash Omega, and I call it Simple.

It is a nice rounded theme with both light and dark options, and allows for way more functionality on your Game Boy Advance!

Its features are:

PogoShell plugin support
A handful of plugins are included which means you can launch way more emulators and file types such as text documents, images, and music.

Save backup feature
When enabled, this will make up to five backups of the save file belonging to the ROM/file you are opening.

Better English translation
Just better in general

Cleaner sans-serif font

An option to hard reset the console when booting a GBA game without holding L.
I implemented this because I know some people like me like having the BIOS intro screen.

In short, it doesn't just look pretty, it gives your cartridge way more functionality as well!

Hope everyone likes it!

Latest version: v3.8
Latest version (DE): v1.52
