Please do a followup about the battery life

[@ProngedHorn]

Hey i just got this like a week ago they have an offical site to download updates, and once you get the update hold the right trigger on startup and start the update also you can buy it new at retro modding which is what i did, and it came in an actual box

[@LPOeli]

Unfortunately, mine didnt come with Haribos...

[@gameoverwehaveeverypixelco1258]

This is awesome, I have a Supercard from many years ago that required the software to patch gba games, was so annoying cause some games didn't work. It let me play DS games too which worked fine for most as is, so i think I'll use that for ds and buy this for gba. I also have the gba movie cart that lets me play GB, GB color, master system, nes, gamegear from 2005. It has emulators built in or use your own that you copy onto a compact flash memory card, was sort of big emulator scene back then for it when not many of these cards existed. It can use same emulator Goomba colour to play GB and GBC games.

And I think I should have waited then, cause I picked up a Reform about 2 months ago, lol.

[@Nukle0n]

This looks a bit smarter than the Reform, but it's a shame they went back to a soldered in battery. I once got an EZflash 3-in-1 the battery was dead when i got it. I know those CR1220 batteries have a pretty low capacity but it's infinitely better to be able to replace it.

At this point it's more a personnal preference but honestly if I can have a game on the original hardware at a resonable price, I'll totally go for it

[@albiiiiii_]

Justin Saephan Well technically, if I would download a rom and compare it to a dump I made myself with the original game, there wouln't be a difference, it's mostly the sharing / hosting of roms that is sanctionned, not the downloading part. But that's pretty hard to define since in most country it's in a grey area

That's based on an incredible open source GBC emulator for GBA called Goomba Color, so this could be done on any GBA flashcart. And that's called SGB border, many emulators supports that, look it up, they're both really cool.

I finally found where I put my GBA sp after 7 years, and the battery was still nearly at full charge! I've just nabbed one of these off the Bay which will make life a lot easier than carrying a bunch of cartridges about. I was tempted to get a Gameboy Micro, but the price has gone through the roof.

[@KurtisBlack]

I know this is an old comment now, but just had to say I had the same experience last week. I hadn't seen my GBA SP for about 15 years, it was in my parents attic and they asked me to come over to pick up anything I wanted to keep as they were clearing stuff out to move. The beast just booted up and carried on like I had only used it yesterday! I was so shocked. Definitely picking up an EZ flash as I can't find any of my old games cartridges unfortunately.

[@eyeball226]

There shouldn't have been any doubt as to whether it could play GBC games on the Micro if it could play them on the SP. The only way a GBA flash cart can ever run GBC games is through running a software emulator in GBA mode, since the GBA can't switch modes while running.

Looks like a decent product. Nice vid matey 👍🏻

[@gunbladelad7772]

Just in case you didn't know by now, but it appears as if the emulation it uses for getting Gameboy games working on the GB Micro is actually Super Game Boy emulation. The options that you scroll through are Super Game Boy options - and the border that Links' Awakening DX shows is actually the Super Game Boy border that's in the game. The colour pallets are also the ones used on the Super Game Boy too. (Various games have custom borders for the Super Gameboy - some even update based on game progression, but this is pretty uncommon - the only one I own personally which updates based on how far through the game you are is the Pokemon TCG)

[@lordvermintide4441]

I got myself one of these a couple of weeks back actually. Couple of things I've found: -Real easy to corrupt your save folder and mess the whole thing up, you have to be careful not to turn off too soon after any save action. - The folder structure is real weird, it only supports 513 items per folder so I had a lot of trial and error trying to organise all my roms. It also did this real weird thing where it wouldn't display ANY files I transferred into folders- And after tearing my hair out all day it turned out I had to use my phone via USB to put files on the SD card, instead of my card reader. -The gameboy colour emulation is patchy at best. Some of the best games on the system are just broken, which is a shame. Gameboy regular games seem to work perfectly fine however. Other than that definitely the best flashcart available.

[@XEBAJ]

Amazing video. I hope your my neighbor and we can talk about Nintendo whole day. Keep doing this kind of videos.

[@TheRetroFuture]

Thank you!

[@IPODsify]

general explanation for how this works, since you werent sure in the video. The games are processed entirely on RAM, similarly to how games on cassette and floppy disc were, since GBA games have such small filesizes, many of them can be written directly to RAM, imitating an actual cartridge, then erased right after. This is similar to how ISOs work in general, temporarily existing and then being deleted

Fun fact about the Gameboy micro it has the separate components built into it to read Gameboy Color games however due to the Gameboy micro's size, Nintendo could not fit in the physical switch that would activate "Gameboy Color mode"

Great vid as always, I always wonder though, when you do reviews of fake gameboys or real gameboys that you buy with your own money are you making any profits off the videos? Like are you making back more than you spend?

[@beansandwiched]

people who complain about downloading ROMs have probably broken other laws like speeding, driving while texting, j-walking, stealing, etc. Probably even the same people that won't tell the cashier that they gave them too much change back. Everyone does, has done, or will do something unethical in their life but yet they look down on people for ROMs.

[@guitaroach]

I dunno man... I think I know what you're trying to say, and I can agree to some extent, but you making it sound like it's ok to download ROMs illegally just because everyone has done something bad before. Sounds wack.

[@beansandwiched]

guitaroach j walking, theft,, and texting while driving is illegal just like downloading ROMs is. Not saying it's ok but I have a feeling the people bitching may have done something illegal but only point out what they disagree with.

[@loganenlow4603]

I always thought it was weird how people consider it stealing from Nintendo if all the games are on the secondhand market now so you're just trying to play the games you love.

[@patxs]

Victor R i agree actually. i think some people would say "oh it's just jaywalking" or "oh it's just a dollar extra" but as soon as someone pirates a ROM, everyone freaks out. it's unethical, but do you think nintendo gets money from those people selling cartridges on ebay?

[@twoodall88]

[@Casperdroid5]

[@AstralPhnx]

I should state to anyone who wants to buy one of these, they are pretty great but be prepared for a lot of fiddling! The EZFlash Omega is a bit of a flakey beast when it comes to some things like updating the firmware. This is mainly because it draws MORE POWER than your average GBA cartridge. The immediate effect is that your battery life is cut down BIG TIME (you can have a GBA which is displaying a Green Light with a normal cart and when you put the EZFlash in it turns to red) and it is also reported to have power spikes here and there. Now what does this mean for you? Well, aside from the cut battery life you do also get some instability with things like firmware updates. When trying to update the firmware of the cart in my GameBoy Micro the difference between getting the Micro SD card to properly read and process a firmware update sometimes was flat out if the console was plugged into the wall or not. I'm not kidding. My main recommendation is to get a better battery for your GameBoy if you use a Micro or SP (higher capacity is what you want). I dunno about how the full sized GBA handles it but I presume you'll want to use high quality AA's or swap in a high quality rechargable battery pack. Also worth a note, the Nintendo DS and DS Lite seem to handle these flash carts quite a bit better in terms of battery

EZ flash reform, if you want a cart that can be switched between gba and ds/micro shell, or ez flash omega if you want to add nes/snes/gb/gbc support as well. :)

[@treefroggy]

This is an example of a product that reviews well, but in actual daily usage falls short. I cannot use my EZflash omega for anything besides "pickup and play" games like action titles or beatemups. I have begun several RPGs and game requiring long comitted playthroughs and time and time again, if I stop playing for just a couple days, the save will corrupt itself. I have lost pokemon and harvest moon files with over 20 hours poured into them. I lost my Rhythm Tengoku save where I got all the gold metals for each song. I really hate my omega for this reason. I couldn't find any help online, I have tested the battery with a multimeter many times and the voltage is always correct. Needless to say I'm looking forward to Krikzz's next GBA flash card that will fit flush as a standard GBA cartridge, but that's going to be expensive and I sure wasted $80 on this thing when it first came out. :(

[@Kalvinjj]

Weird, that never happened to my EZ-Flash IV Micro SD one. What I know can happen to the model I have tho, is if you leave the entire flash cart out of use (so not just changing the games) for very long, like 2 months or more, it can deplete the battery that holds the save. In my case it did happen, but the only save that was gone was the last changes since last play from a game (I think Advance Wars), the save file was intact whoever. It seems it's also a rechargeable cell as it was back to new condition after some use. I can imagine that happening sooner on the Omega tho since it has the RTC function. For any flash cart, regardless of how good, I would definitely always recommend to keep backups of the save folder or save files of the games you play, you can never be too safe with that.

[@yani4349]

That’s weird. I see this issue come up for a lot of people, but I’ve personally never had it happen to me. I’ve had mine for over a year and spent several hundred hours with no issues with my saves. I do still perform backups just in case, though. I wonder why the quality isn’t consistent with everyone...

[@Kalvinjj]

@@yani4349 Do you use it regularly over this time, or leave it unused for long periods of time? Because I too have my EZ-Flash IV for like 2 or 3 years now already, and it only once gave me the dead battery save corruption. Even that too, as I said, is just the last changes from the last played game, the save itself is fine, you just lose the progress you made from the last play, and running the cart for some hours charges it back.

[@yani4349]

This is a gba flash cart, not a game boy flash cart

[@iWhacko]

was going to comment the same thing

[@flamespro6428]

U can play gb games on it doe

[@DauX0r]

via emulation, not native gameboy backwards compatibility

[@flamespro6428]

DauX0r fair enough

[@dbnpoldermans4120]

yes and that emulation SUCKS. So false advertisement. The Retro Future should change the title Also the EZ Flash is probably the worst flash card out there. I dare you to find me a worse one. Can I update my EZ Flash IV with the new os?

[@noha3087]

For anyone wondering you can play gba, gbc, gb, and nes games on this thing. not sure about snes

[@mjdxp5688]

I would really love one of these, just so I could play GB/C games on my Micro.

[@TheRetroFuture]

Yeah for sure!

[@PromoCraft-rz3vz]

@The Retro Future Is this the best way to play all and any of the gba games on the original console?

[@hyperion801]

Me buy! You buy!

[@TheRetroFuture]

Okay!

[@hyperion801]

Should probably double check that title ;}

[@TheRetroFuture]

Thanks!

[@shivasthong4924]

We all buy squeeee

[@DoIoannToKnow]

shout out to this guy for worrying about pirating 20 year old games that nintendo stopped profiting off of over a decade ago

[@Tailslol]

the thing is the old ez can be updated to the new software and the new autopatch feature. the new ez flash is just the same cart but smaller and no hand update needed.to bad it still dont work with real time clock games like pokemon...

[@TheRetroFuture]

Thanks for the info dude!

[@memeking4376]

AWESOME THE GBA STILL LIT

[@HansVonMannschaft]

I thought Everdrive GBA was the best flash card.

[@MundaneMuser]

It is.

[@leonelp9593]

@@MundaneMuser why ?

[@unarmedduck]

@@MundaneMuser It also costs a fuck tonne more

[@ginger-ham4800]

Why are these like triple in price now? lmao the fuck

[@riptornsideways]

Funny thing about Gameboy color games in the micro. I actually somehow corrupted my Pokémon crystal save while trying to play it in my micro back when the micros first came out.

[@runforitman]

I love your intro song

[@tigheklory]

Link doesn't work.

[@TheRetroFuture]

Updated! Thanks for letting me know.

[@nyleaustin1336]

The Retro Future not the same type of link, but for some reason the GBA version of A Link to the Past always says that it has a corrupted save file. I’m going to try and see if there is way to fix this as it’s the only game I seem to have a problem with

[@radiorob7543]

With all do respect; I disagree. I own Supercard SD, EZ Flash IV (childish version), and Everdrive GB & GBA X5. In a nutshell, I prefer the Everdrives by far. Downside is very expensive. Best buy, (but worst performer) : Supercard SD.

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

Radio Rob but no cheats 😭

[@doktorkoka]

True that, it's the best!!!

[@Angultra]

I still have my EZ Flash with Mini SD card, maybe it's time to upgrade..
