Hello, as by the post count you might notice I am new.
I have a problem with a new Ez-flash Vi I just bought. I first downloaded the newest Kernal, and firmware update from the website, put 3 games onto the drive in a folder called Games, and the system never got past "booting"
After a half hour of various arrangements I got it to start up when I had one game in the root, and the firmware update not on the card. Checking the settings I find the firmware to be V15 for the 805 hardware version. as far as I can tell, this didn't need to be updated, so I didn't bother.
However, after that first time it turned on, it has failed to do so again. any combination of games, in root, or folders, the system doesnt get past when the circles are spinning around, if I wait for another 30 seconds after it freezes, the upper screen glitches out.
I tried a few more combinations, Holding L starts a passme thing, but neither choice it gives me does anything other then freeze the system. Holding R has the spinning circles freeze in a different position, and if I let go of R after it freezes, the system starts up. Once it is up however pressing any button freezes it again.
I dont know if it is a hardware problem because it did start up completely before, I just dont know what could have caused the whole system to stop working like this.
Any help is appreciated.
