EZ-Flash USA Forum

Hi Mbmax!

Regarding homebrew and RC14, i deleted EZ5Shell and ez5sys.bin from microSD and after that installed RC14. I have double check this. I know its hard to beleive but i works.

Im waiting for someone to complaint about some homebrew so i can post some update!

I'm not saying it isn't true but I did a HEX comparison between the DLDI in RC13 and RC14 and the DLDI files are identical So could something else have been updated that would effect homebrew? thanks.

I have no clue, i dont know anything about the internal working of my ezflash .
I remember a post (i think it was from Mbmax) saying that the 2.0 kernel dldi was just a merged file with previous dldi from sd and sdhc. So thats equally odd, perfectly working dldi files have issues beacause they where merged (of course merging was at least a change).

Have you tried some homebrew? Please dont take my word on RC14 working go on and test, see if it works for you too. There is one thing so far, Moonshell 2.10 doesnt detect the memory extension (EZ 3 in 1).

HOMEBREW: Video Games Hero
HARDWARE: DS lite, EZ5i (H[705] F[14]), micro SDHC 4Gb kingston (probably pirate but it has a response of 0.8ms and a fine transmission rate too)
KERNEL: 2.0rc14
BUG RELATED: Works fine on a EZ5 and on EZ5i with a microsd (not sdhc) but doesn't work on a EZ5i with SDHC (MbMax helped me to test it). Black screen right after loading it. Maybe it's a DLDI issue? Doesn't work using moonshell 2 dldi loader either.

Thanks for testing Sata! As you said it could be a DLDI issue.

Your help is really, really appreciated, since you say you've gotten it working, but I'm still pretty much in the dark here. When I download the DSHeretic files, the only way to add the WAD is to build a .ds.gba file; there's not an option to start out with an .NDS file. The loader seems to already be built in, as soon as you generate the .ds.gba file. I tried pretty pathetically to append a loader, but that just set me back further, as now loading it into NORflash just gives me a white screen when I try to NoPass it. Trying to get the music on there was even worse, as it set me just over the 32 MB limit. A step-by-step guide would really, really be appreciated; or, heck, just send me -your- copy of the game

Let me tell you just what I'm doing here, step by step:
1-Download dsHeretic 0.3, get HERETIC.WAD, and the music pack
2-Unpack dsHeretic and the gbfs zip folders (in that order)
3-Put WAD (and music) in the dsHeretic folder
--- I also tried several WADs and made sure they were the right size
4-Run make_dsHeretic.bat (or make_dsHeretic_with_music.bat)
--- Here's where I tried appending a loader- it was a little awkward since the file started out as a .gba file rather than a .nds file (didn't make much sense to me) but I tried nonetheless. It just caused both screens to freeze completely white between steps 7 and 8. Also, sadly, with the music and the full game WAD, it's just too big to load in step 6. But all other combinations are fine, as far as filesize is concerned.
5-Copy newly made dsHeretic.ds.gba to EZ-Flash card
6-Copy to NORflash on 3in1 using built in feature
7-Start using NoPass feature
8-Look at some loading text, followed by the splash screen, which locks up as soon as I hit a button

It's so close to working I can taste it!

If you want my build just tell me how and i send it to you (its a 31MB file).
Regarding the steps:
1- OK
2- OK (as long as you got all in the same folder).
3- OK. There is one thing with music. I have used cool edit to make music files shorter (also it was needed that sound was ok when music loops). You can avoid music for now (when you get a working build you can try again to build it with music).
4- By running make_dsHeretic.bat you should get a file named dsHeretic.ds.gba. Rename dsHeretic.ds.gba to dsHeretic.nds. Drag and drop dsHeretic.nds over Dsbuild.exe (http://www.maxconsole.net/showthread.ph ... o-.nds.gba). Now again you have dsHeretic.ds.gba and now we are sure it has a loader appended.
5- OK.
6- OK.
7- OK.
8- Hope that it works .

Sadly, that just puts me right back at dual white screens... I don't know if it's relevant or not, but when I'm copying to NORflash, it goes right through the bit where it creates a save file, successfully. In fact it even tries to load the game as a GBA ROM right afterwards, which causes an interesting little effect where the word "Nintendo" is scrambled beyond recognition.

BUG RELATED: Works fine on DS lite, but it freezes On DSi after you chose the cheats you want, it happened with both versions.

hope it help XD

@sinneraxel

Adding to the first post now, but i dont think that EZTeam can do anything about this .
I think that Nitrohax will never work on a DSI mainly because of nintendo efforts to stop piracy. Beside this problem, its developer (Chism) haven't updated NitroHax in more than a year.
Anyway, NitroHax was made for using action replay cheats. You can try the ezflash built in ARDS tool, im pretty sure it work on a DSI .

Bye!

Hi everyone, I just want to ask if anybody has problems with nitrografx (the PC engine emulator).
For me it block at the launch on RC14 of RC15.
If there is a way to make it work on ezflash Vi, thanks to give me the information.
If not, maybe the developpers could fixed it for the next kernel ?

Thank in Advance.

@robocop3000be

I tested this emulator (Nitrografx) on my nds phat/EzV+/RC15 and worked just fine. But i think this issue is the same that happens with S8DS (from the same author). Im adding this to the first post now.

Thanks!
