Is This GameBoy Flash Cart Any Good? EZ FLASH Junior Review

In this video, I do a full overview of my experience with receiving and testing out the EZ-Flash Junior Flash Cart for the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. I purchased this like anyone else would have right from the front end of the flashcarda website, and had no issues with that process. Honestly aside, from the less than thoughtful shipping packaging, I am generally really pleased with this cart and my purchasing experience.
This cart does absolutely work in the original DMG Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Pocket and pretty much everything right on up to the Gameboy Advance SP console. I was surprised to see it even works with the Super Nintendo Super Game Boy player too. That being said, it will not work with the Nintendo DS or DS Lite.
I use my backlit screen modded Game Boy Color I made in a previous video to show this off, but if you are interested in making your own, you can watch that video here: • The Ultimate Gameboy C...
I purchase this cart from flashcarda, which you can right here: flashcarda.com...

I have bought it and i am very happy with that purchase. Very stable, no graphic or sound glitches, 100% speed! Totally recommended!

[@GameplayandTalk]

Had sold my GB Everdrive years ago as I just wasn't using it. Fast forward to now and I want a GB flash cart to use with the Super Game Boy. The EZ Flash Junior looks pretty solid for the price. Just ordered one thanks to this review!

[@GameplayandTalk]

@@anon4606 LMAO, it's giving me a black screen. So.. I don't know yet.

[@GameplayandTalk]

​@@anon4606 ​ All right, so I actually just found the solution. I was using it on a Super Game Boy and was just getting a black screen. Turns out there's a reset button on the front of the cart.. behind the plastic shell, so it's not super obvious. The button has to be held down on powering up the console, then let go, and then I have to press it again to activate the EZ Flash menu after the Super GB does its thing (should make its usual startup sound and say "Super Game Boy" at the bottom of the screen). Games load fine from there. The front button on the cart will reset back to the flash cart menu, otherwise a power cycle or console reset requires you to go through that process again. I'm not sure how this functionality works on a standard GB or GB Pocket as I don't have any to test with right now.

[@danielkeyes3931]

Great review. Was doing research and this helped a lot.

[@infinit_loop]

One note - Due to variations in the DMG and GBC motherboards, sometimes the EZ Flash won't work with your model. I have an EverDrive too, and that's never had an issue with compatibility, but I have hit one DMG and two GBCs that just refused to recognize the EZFlash cart. I've tested a bunch of others have haven't had issues tho. From the forums, it looks like they are constantly adding support for new variants.

[@alistairblaire6001]

Nice and very thorough review. I know the Everdrive GB X7 is a fantastic cart but $130 is a bit steep for only a casual fan of the original Gameboy IMO. I already own a SNES Everdrive and Mega Everdrive because I'm more into those consoles. The load time on this cart is a drag but I guess I expect some compromises on something that costs half as much as the competitor.

Really good video ! I have two EZ-Flash IV Omega. But the cartidge can emulate only a limited quantity of GB and GBC games. So i think i will also buy the EZ-Flash Jr to finally play the GB/GBC games that the EZ Flash IV Omega doesn't play correctly. Many thanks dude !!

This may or may not work, but you could try pressing the reset button on the SNES after loading the game, and it might boot into the game, with full SGB support. Or it may just go back to the menu. But worth a shot.

There are versions of ROMs specifically made for the Super Game Boy, you need to use those to see the wallpapers.

[@lobstercoco]

i ordered one on sunday it's coming in today thank you for the great review

[@MakoyUnggoy]

The only downside I found was the massive battery hit, I'm wondering now if the Everdrive has better power consumption

[@videogamerNattie98]

I tend to counter that with Rechargeable Double As with a charger for them, they are more pricy then disposables on the offset but if your gonna be using a GB, GBC, or GBA often, they are very helpful and a very wise investment get a pack of 4 to 8 of them with a charger and youll have plenty of play time and when your not using it you can charge the batteries so you have them for a trip for later. Also another advantage to the GBC, and GB over the GBA is if you have the plug for it you can plug the GB/GBC directly into the mains with a DC charger completely eliminating that problem all together when your at home.

[@skins4thewin]

A HUGE benefit of this over the X3 Everdrive is with this one you don't have to hit the button on the cart itself to reset it in order to get your save data to save to the cart. This is a huge boon for this flash cart. It really sucks trying to remember to hit the reset button on the cart itself before turning the system off.

[@welcomecreator7653]

Pressing the reset button to save?... Just bought one and this confused me. Please help 😁

[@skins4thewin]

@@welcomecreator7653 The cart itself has a reset button inside. If u press on the front of the cart it'll depress the button & reset the system back to the main menu. U have to do this for it to save the save file to the MicroSD card before shutting the power completely off. Aka for games with save support like Link's Awakening or something.

These are pretty awesome as a first flash cart. Real easy to use, no issues saving, plays stuff just fine. Make you follow the instructions on the setup though.

[@sos.gamers]

In the Super GameBoy you can access the to the borders of the games by hitting the reset button without the Micro SD card 😉 so just load a game to the memory of the cart, then take out the game and the micro SD or hit reset

[@NotTerravin]

A really good affordable flashcart. I'm using mine to play the Pokemon Crystal Clear romhack and I've yet to notice a single issue, it's been great! Only thing I've had trouble with was getting the sd card into the slot, it's impossible to just push the card in with your finger so I have to resort to using a pencil to get in it or out. Otherwise it's basically perfect for me.

[@bones2323232323]

I think you missed one of most important points about these cheaper flash carts. Battery drain. The battery drain on EZ flash carts is crazy compared to say Everdrive and after only a small amount of use I'd say Everdrives pay for themselves. In some cases battery drain on EZ flash is 100% more than Everdrives which is insane. If you're on a budget and especially if you don't use Eneloops, save up and invest in an Everdrive. Otherwise you're potentially spending a huge amount on batteries.

Hey, great vid, it was nice and concise, i bought this cart and im still waiting for it to arrive, but I have a question i cant seem to find on any reddit or mod forum about this cart; Where does the cart keep saved game data? does it save them in that "Saver" folder in your root directory? and do I have to make a "Saver" folder or will the cartridge make the folder by itself? I'm wondering because I want to transfer saved data from an emulator if possible, I've never bought a flash cart before, so thanks for the vid!

[@Restalgia]

Yes that saver folder is created when you save your first game. I am not 100 percent sure if a save from a pc emulator will work or not, if it doesn't save the data in the same way, but you can certainly give it a shot.

[@consty715]

When you say save states do you mean carts that saved originally or can you load and save any game at any time?

[@Restalgia]

This device can't do actual save states, rather it saves the game like an original cart would.

[@GRaVITY2DX]

I got this cart for a specific purpose only but realized really quickly that while I am not using it for that purpose, I have more than enough space to dump some of my games on it as well. I did notice the sticker on it was, as you said, cheap, and seemingly just thrown on there as my carts sticker didn't even line up with the concave edges it was supposed to be set within. With that in mind, I wasn't even planning to keep the sticker there and had already purchased a sticker for my specified purpose to replace it anyway. Other than that, the card is very solid and easy to use. I have had no problem with it so far, granted it being a few weeks in my ownership but yeah. And the reset button on the cart itself I find handy as well. I went ahead and hid the 2 files needed to run it and update it on my desktop so they wouldn't show up on my screen in the gameboy at all to make it look that much cleaner, it still works as intended since the files are hidden, they are still there but do not show and I like that. I had already figured out what I needed for it before watching this video but wanted to say thank you anyway. Your other videos have done me a favor in knowing what the next purchase is going to be so those were especially helpful for that when the time comes.

[@TJ-qm7lj]

[@GRaVITY2DX]

@@TJ-qm7ljfor the most part it still works, there has been some data corruptions and all but I think that might have come from the conditions I left that cart in. Maybe also the dry battery. Now to answer your question question; there’s an option with in windows folders that allows you to hide items within that folder. By right clicking and going into properties, there should be the ability to “hide files”. I am not currently at my pc but I can tell you exactly how to do it when I get back.

[@GRaVITY2DX]

@@TJ-qm7ljokay, to confirm. Right click, properties, at the bottom of the properties window there’s “Attributes” read-only and hidden, I just checked the box and it disappears. Side note: I’m curious as to what things you heard that has you worried about it.

I traded 2 500 GB HDDs for one with a broken button! lol Also, I had a reform, which is older than the omega, that has a removable battery. Strange.

[@Kalvinjj]

I actually think the battery on them is even a rechargeable anyway, my EZ-Flash IV Micro SD has sat unused for a long while, it complained about the last save being corrupted (of course, since it sits on the RAM and only gets saved on the next boot), but after leaving the GBA turned on with the charger for like 6h, it didn't complain anymore about that. There are rechargeable button cells after all.

How is the power consumption on a GBC?

[@SuperGoku14]

I'm thinking about getting one of these myself, but before then, I have a question. Is this flash cart capable of running ROM hacks and prototypes?

The message said that while the emulator in question is capable of running these ROMs, they would not work on an actual Game Boy.

Yes they would be. Its good practice to swap batteries every 5 or so years and you can do it without losing save data by jumping a temporary second battery into the mix

@@Restalgia according to the EZ Flash website the game saves are saved to the SD card and the battery is ONLY for the real time clock, so if I'm not playing any games that use in game clocks (like Pokemon for example) I should be okay if the battery dies right?
