EZ Flash Parallel Setup - A New Nintendo DS Flash Card Has Arrived!

[@derekswitzer9624]

awesome, just got one of these also! could you do - or point to - a vid on emulation from the EZ cart, for nes, snes, gb, gbc, gba? that would be aweosme. I'm assuming with it still being pretty new there aren't many themes, ways to update the theme yet?

[@ArchadesGames]

I haven't seen anything theme related yet, but an emulator vid sounds fun!

[@Electric_Doodie]

Just look for Themes that work on any Wood Firmware Card (Ace3DSPlus, R4, etc) they all should work pretty much, since it's basically using the same Kernel anyways.

[@samuelnunez9954]

Greetings, good video, but I get an error that says: EZDS booting from MIcro SD Fat init failed!

[@devamaria2010]

How can u play SNES/GB/GBA/GBC & other systems?

[@ArchadesGames]

Get those systems or add the DS emulators/GBArunner for them to the SD card. SNES isn't worth emulating on a DS.

[@TacticalGamer2006]

wow this is going to be vary helpfull when i get one of the ez flash cards in a cupple days

[@SalutIciRobert]

Hello, nice video ! I have two questions : I only have a 3ds at home, can i setup the EZ Flash with my 3ds (for ds and gba games) before buying a functionnal Ds lite for running it ? Can it run Gba games ? How ? Thank you :)

[@Snow-zv9ps]

can you do a guide on the gbarunner ?everytime i download the emulator and starts a game its freezes with one of my r4 cards for some reason,+just bought the ez card parallel

[@ArchadesGames]

Planning to!

[@BallistikaGames]

Ez flash parallel not loading games So I finally got everything working, all my games into it and every single time I go to start a game, it stays on "loading" indefinitely Can someone please help me. Idk if I did something wrong or what, my ez flash omega works fine and I've never had problems with that.

[@niklasliedtke4259]

hey first of all nice video easy to follow alonge love it. just one question, when I'm finished with a game and then want to restart my Nintendo to select another game, my Nintendo no longer recognizes the ez-flash no matter what I do. can anyone help me please

[@LuisitoSuavecito]

How did you load the save file on the parallel I have save files I wanna play but I don’t know how to load it up

[@ArchadesGames]

Set it to use .sav format. Name the save the same as the ROM. Put the save in the same folder as the ROM and enjoy!

[@LuisitoSuavecito]

@@ArchadesGames Thank you!

[@Weisaa.]

hi my roms arent appearing in the folder i put them in. Any idea why?

[@ufoguy]

I've been using EZ flash for my Gameboy and it rocks ! I tried other cards too but this one is the best

[@ArchadesGames]

I like my GBA EZ Flash, works really well.

[@JCvanSlooten]

I see in my list some files that starts with an underscore _(name of the game) and I file that's actually the game. In your video I see only the game file?

[@HertzBlut]

Sorry for asking the dumb questions, but this will work with most current updates to 3DS and work with 3DS games? I Ordered one for use with my DSi, but if it works seamless with 3DS and 3DS games I'm even more stoked!

[@ArchadesGames]

It is only for DS games. It works on the 3DS for DS games

[@HertzBlut]

@@ArchadesGamesThanks for clarifying for an outsider. And thank you for your content.

[@derekswitzer9624]

@@ArchadesGames is there an r4 type cart that can be used to play 3ds games on non-modded devices? or is modding the only way to play your backed up 3ds games that would be saved to the card?

[@ArchadesGames]

You will want to mod a 3DS

Wake me up when they fix the sleep/wake bug that powercycles your DS to oblivion... 🛌

What program do you recommend for unzipping files?

[@ArchadesGames]

7zip

[@LordGooch]

Can this be used with a hacked 3ds? I'm guessing not since it doesn't open for me. My 208 in 1 game cart works still but not the Ez-Flash.

[@ArchadesGames]

Works fine in a hacked 3DS

[@soundsonline796]

Whats your opinion on this over the much cheaper acekards? I dont see the benefit.

[@ArchadesGames]

Right now, there is no benefit to be had with this card over any other available option. I'm curious how that may change down the road if it ever does.

[@soundsonline796]

@@ArchadesGamesYeah possible with the fpga though the same company has done nothing to improve their gba carts

[@jimcmak3249]

I got mine last week, and I have an acekard, r4i card and r4 3ds card. As it is, right now, it does not offer anything more than those cards, but from what the guys at Ez Flash are saying is that they are updating the firmware regularly. I know they have come out with 2 updates in the last 2 weeks, which is more than can be said for any of the firmware for the other cartridges... some not updated for several years.

[@Electric_Doodie]

@@jimcmak3249 that is, because these other cards are basically "done" at this point. It's clones of cards from like 2010 or whatever in the first place, they only use the firmware that they used back then too. Of course they won't update ever, but most cards that run Wood 1.62 or even better Wood 1.64 (original R4 firmware) have basically perfect compatibility already. The EZ Flash has a lot of missing patches, even a few games that can completely BRICK the card at the moment, has 1/3 of the Read/Write Speed then any clone out there, which makes games with FMV or excessive Data Loading (Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime, Sonic and a bunch of others) desync and a stutter fest. Currently the card is pretty pretty ... Terrible for what it is, sadly. And EZ basically saying "We do more updates / add features only after X Sales" isn't promising either IMO.

[@user-ej1ei8hm8d]

I put gba runner on and the gameplay is fine but there is a sound duplication I notice which is very annoying lol. Any ideas?

[@ArchadesGames]

I haven't currently used Gameboy Runner enough to offer any advice. I'll be checking it out more in the coming days.

[@strictlyngg]

thanks! how do I transfer R4 save file to ezflash?

[@nigelwestdickens6476]

Hey, do you also have a problem with the sleep mode?

[@JCvanSlooten]

Have the same issue

[@ArchadesGames]

Yes

Would this work with that nds event tool for the gen 3 Pokémon games?

Possibly I don't have it to try

hi friend, this card have a function only games DS or 3DS, too?

This is for DS games only

Does the onboard fpga possibly improve SNES emulation?

It doesn't help with emulation performance.
