EZ-Flash USA Forum

Well when i turn on normal card game sleep mode working when i close my DS. When i turn on EZ Flash V and i'm in menu, sleep mode is working too, but when i turn on some game from EZ Flash V microSD card sleep mode doesn't working properly. When i close my DS game is going to sleep mode then come out from sleep mode, then go to sleep mode, then go out of it and so the cycle repeats =_= someone could tell me why ? this is with every game so i cant use sleep mode ;/

I have exactly the same bug on my EZ5 NYE with whatever kernel version and a Toshiba 2GB Japan in FAT16.
In-game sleep mode just made click sounds (like you it try to wake-up/sleep/wakeup/sleep ...) and the green led blink synchronized with the click sound.
What is your microSD card brand/size/made in ?

When did you buy your ez5 ? Is it a v2 (NYE) ?

You can also look this topic.

I buy'ed my nintendo ds lite black with all accesories in auction on polish ebay there ware case for DS, 3 stylus, ez flash v with firmware 1.66, 3 in 1 expansion, 2 orginal games, Kingston microSD 2 GB made in Taiwan(but it doesnt look like the old taiwanese 1 gb cards it looks like this Japanese made kingstons, and some other stuff. So:



i cant answer to your question i dont have eny box from EZ Flash. All was packed in one box with nintendo ds lite box (i hope that i didnt messed enything it this word ^^)

...but i can make a photo for you just w8 a moment ^^

EDIT:

Ok her's a photo of my EZ-Flash V card



PS: What NYE mean ?

Ok. It's a ez5 NewYearEdition so a v2 like me.

ez5 v1 looks like that :



What is written on your microSD card, SD-C02G JAPAN ?

here is a little photo of taiwan kingston card i found on internet http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b269/ ... taiwan.jpg this card look the same as mine (and have the same adapter as i have) but the numbers written on it are different than on my card.

I must to add that this does NOT happen only with japanese cards... it also happens with my chinese 1gb sandisk one

what do you mean here O_o ?

sorry, typed wrong, already edited it

Ok. So the theory of the microSD is dead.
Well guys, i'm lost now.

I think we can consider something hardware.
Or perhaps it's the core code in the actel that is not the same between all the ez5 NYE ...

I hope it's the code.... hardware problem means It'll be hard to fix...

however..... my hopes of it not being a hardware issue grow weaker by the moment

Well you know, the Actel core code can't be updated without opening the flashcart and use a JTAG programmer, so it's the same.

actually I was hoping a firmware update would be able to fix a software problem, through a bootstrap loader or something of the sort....

I hope i'm wrong and it's just a kernel issue in the process to detect microSD cards.

So, is this solved or no

and if "no" when it will be

pretty old thread.
Have you updated to the newer kernel? 2.0 RC4 is the current (there is a thread about it in the stickies). And then tried to see if sleep mode works (never understood the reason for a sleep mode >.>)?
