These products are on the market for those that don't want to flash - and in the case of the Neo MK4 Mini & the Ultra FlashPass - they actually have value added to them that you certainly don't get with flashing.

Not everyone wants to flash their NDS/Lite, regardless of how easy YOU think it is. The convenience of being able to use a flash kit just by plugging in an NDS card is invaluable to a lot of people..

Forgot to ask you, does your EZ Lite MicroSD work with your MML (and does your MML have a splash screen)? I guess every nopass device with a splash screen simply doesn't work.

Also, do you think the EZ team will actually fix the incompatibility with a loader update? Still trying to figure out whether to buy a Superkey or not.

Have a peek at the chart - the Max Media Launcher boots both EZ4's, and yes it does have a splash screen.

Just to add to the general confusion of it all.

Oh jeez, there goes the splash screen confusion. To make it more confusing even, in the EZ forums a guy has a MML that won't boot his EZ card, lol.

I really hope the EZ team fixes this, I don't think I'll ever buy another EZ card if they don't (that and the cheap quality of the EZ4L MicroSD casing).

I got a NDS Lite with the MiniSD EZ-Flash IV, using passcard 3 leaves me with two white screens after the splash screen. I have updated to the lastest loader.


Forgot to ask you, does your Passcard 3 have the splash screens?
Yes I do get the passcard 3 splash screens before the white screens.

Do you have another Passme card to use other than the Passcard 3? Or are you stuck using it as a GBA flash card like I am until the EZ team releases an update? (crosses fingers)

Yup, stuck playing gba games for now... Im not to crazy about paying 30+ bucks for a superkey, so im waiting.

Well, at least someone else is in my shoes. Yeah, I really don't feel like paying more either. Unfortunately, there is a chance the EZ team may not ever fix the problem, but I hope not. If they don't fix it in the next loader update, I don't think the chances are very good. :'(

Anyone read Chinese? This is an official EZ team response about the nopass problem:

http://www.ezflash.cn/bbs/cgi-bin/topic.cg...opic=692&show=0

It's saying:
QUOTEThe booting process of EZ4 is programmed exactly as any other DS homebrew application that both Passme and Flashme can boot. MML and some version of Passcard 3 cannot boot EZ4, who should be the one to blame?

Let's do a test.

Using any NOR Flash Cart (Like EZ1/2, XGFlash, etc) in single cart mode (no loader) and burn a NDS homebrew program like Moonshell or any emulator.

With Flashme and Passme both can boot the homebrew program. While using MML or Passcard 3 with logo will only result in white screen.

This is a contradiction to the way the card like MML is advertised, "the perfect solution for accessing media from any GBA flash storage device".

So I'm thinking it's the MML and the new NoPass device with logo thats causing the problem, since EZ4 is using standard homebrew bootup process.

Thanks for the great translation, way better than the Babel fish translation I was getting. I wonder if that implies they aren't going to try to make it compatible...

Edit - I don't suppose you anyone can write Chinese and ask whether or not they are working on a workaround.. ? I know a lot of people would like to know.

It's weird how some of these new no-passme devices work and others don't. Everybody has been trying to work out the pattern of the situation.... "new ones don't work and old ones do".. "hang on a minute someone with a new has it working"... "ect ect"

This is just an EZ excuse that they can't work out WHY it so inconsistent.

I think the inconsistency comes from the new no-pass devices being hacked/altered version of actual DS games. The same game rom/chip is not used in every single one and this is what is catching EZ out.

The EZ team are trying to blame everyone but themselves and this new claim of "we fixed but the other 'boys' are playing nasty a changed it again", doesn't wash. The inconsistency with this situation has been there right through every kernel revision.. apart from the 15th of June one which broke even the ones that were working.

So what are the advantages of having a 2Mb EEPROM save?

and which NoPass would be best for the EZ4-lite or G6-Lite?

The advantage of the EEPROM save is that older GBA carts that can't handle NDS saves for whatever reason will be able to save directly to the NoPass - and so will compatible Neo carts of course.

The best NoPass for your cart is really up to you! That's what the chart is for. You can see the features, see which NoPass is compatible with which card, and decide for yourself.

I don't know what is compatible with the G6 Lite until it arrives and I can test.

I just got an EZ4 miniSD and a DS Lite,, I updated EZ4 with the latest firmware and when I tried to boot it using Max Media Launcher I got two white screens after the boot screen and nothing happened, booting with passcard3 didn´t work either, it stays freezed on the boot screen, at least superkey worked fine..

When did you buy your MML?

The first post has been updated.

- G6 Lite compatibility
- EZ-Flash IV compatibility with PassCard 3 (No Splash Screen)

Etc.

Enjoy!
