very first purchase

[Zaehet311]

I just bought the ezflash omega. i watched the tutorial on youtube, i have a 4gb micro sd that i formatted to fat32, i installed the software, then extracted the game files, but litterally all i can see when i start it, are the save files i already have from playing on my emulator on my computer, i cant see, find, or play any .gba game files. please help me

I own an everdrive, so I don't know if this will be helpful. maybe they need to be in a specific directory? I have mine in a folder called roms, but I don't think they have to be in that folder as you can show the folder structure at root.

yeah i literally have them all in a folder called roms too

Did you unzip your roms? I know emulators can play them zipped.

 

[godreborn]

true about that. mine are unzipped, but I assumed the op's were as well since he mentioned .gba files. I dunno.

yes i used 7 zip to extract the files.

do you think i need to use a different SD card? man i just got a new gba sp, and this ez flash omega cart, and i just want to play some games that i used to have that i don't have anymore.

i followed everything on a youtube video called;

ez-flash omega gameboy advance flash cart unboxing and set up guide

im going to go to the store and get a 32gb micro sd card and try again. the instructions say you can get their support and contact them but their website doesn't even have that option.

i just want to play my gameboy, and this is really frustrating. sorry for venting guys.

 

[godreborn]

possibly. I think the everdrive is compatible with up to 128GBs or so I read, but I don't know about the ez flash omega.

hey dude, if i try this and it doesn't work, do you think if i send this back and purchase the everdrive cart, you would be able to walk me though setting it up when i get it please?

 

[godreborn]

I'd wait for someone with more experience with the ez flash omega than I. I've never owned one.

but i mean, you own a gba sp, and an everdrive cart, and youre able to play your .gba games on it right? i mean if you could help me set that up, i would greatly appreciate that man. i don't care what cart i have just as long as i can get it to work and play my games on it.

 

[godreborn]

yes, it's not that hard to setup really. however, the everdrive is more expensive than the ez flash omega. I'm sure there's something not right about your setup though.

The archive flag needs to be set on ROMs.

 

[godreborn]

if that still doesn't work, @EZ-Flash2 . he's a supplier I believe for ez flash or perhaps one of the team, and he can definitely troubleshoot with you.

 

[SaberLilly]

i got an EZ Flash Jr. and im not sure if its the same or not but in order to set mine up i had to unzip the firmware files, and put them on the root of the SD card, then it just works i suppose. Dunno if this applies to the omega but i hope you can get it working.

 

[Zaehet311]

im about to try all of this stuff, thank you so much everyone, i really appreciate your time and effort in helping me out with this
