Hardware Homebrew Restoring bricked EZ Flash Parellel carts ...

it says that the original can't be posted directly because of ip issues so one should ask for another member to provide it...

Well don't ask for it then, GBAtemp doesn't allow the sharing of copyrighted content (this includes DMs).

and the original post also says NOT to use 1.06 since this tool exists now..

maybe YOU didn't pay much attention. you have been of absolutely no help.

I did manage to track down a link for 1.05 though on my own > https://gbatemp.net/download/ez-flash-parallel-kernel.38464/version/40605/download

for anyone that might need it.

And, to answer my other question, it looks like you do need to desolder the wp pin even if you haven't yet bricked the card.

41 and fussy because we aren't allowed to share copyrighted content, we're finished...

Yeah I will not risk posting the original dump due to the copyright issues. I provide a IPS file in the zip file posted in the first post of this thread. Go find the rom yourself and use the IPS file to patch/convert it into the proper dump after trimming it to 4MB and ensuring arm9 secure area is encrypted. That's the most I can do for you.

Also the 1.05 link still exists. They just pulled it from the html but never actually removed the file. lol.

All the previous versions last I've checked are still on their servers too. The original links are archived here:

"we're finished" were we in a relationship that I didn't know about? that's just weird... and I'm not being "fussy," just literally doing that the OP says to do... but have fun on your soap boxes.

A known good dump can't be posted here because they use a retail spoof game like most other flashcarts so this will likely have copyright issue. You can request a dump from another user...or maybe EZFlash can provide one on their website.

Don't have a Parallel, just wanted to say the UI on the tool is absolutely sexy. Sorry for the lack of contribution to the discussion

Thanks! The core UI design is Rudolph's though who was the original creator of NDS Backup Tool which this one is a modified version of. (he recently provided the source code to it which made all this possible). I did give it a nice recolor though so you can give me credit for that part.

NDS Backup Tool has a blue on white color scheme with certain dialog boxes being red if warning/error. I wanted to give this a monochrome type scheme to better differentiate it from the original. Plus I think it kinda fits the clear on black color scheme of the EZP's shell design.
