EZ Flash IV Review/Info

[Staggger]

you can always get tweezers to get the mini SD out.

[Data4664]

Will it work on JP Game Boy Micro? Please answer.

[Goomba4001]

@Data4664 I have absolutely no idea. I'd try asking on one of those online forums...

[Frankfurtdabezzzt]

i have one of those stupid gamecube card readers and i'm offended

[DABATTLESUIT]

thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. its people like you who make my day because you help others. thanks!

[Goomba4001]

@DABATTLESUIT :D

[morrokbyo]

Great video.

[isquirtmilkfrommyeye]

one more question, i saw another video where somebody said that thirs doesnt save their game data for some reason. are they all like that or does yours save game data?

[isquirtmilkfrommyeye]

awesome thanks!

[isquirtmilkfrommyeye]

hey, if i understand it right, goomba is just an emulator so you can play old style gameboy games right?

[Goomba4001]

@isquirtmilkfrommyeye Yeah. It pretty much puts all the GB games you want into one ".gba" file. (PocketNES works the same way)

[XxLawletxX]

@DjStiv3 Ok but do they sell the EZ Flash IV cart? Many thanks.

[Goomba4001]

@XxLawletxX Oh. The first link in the description is where you buy it.

[ajmadonna]

can u put Gameboy and Gameboy Color games on it also?

[Goomba4001]

@ajmadonna You'll need "Goomba" and "Goomba Color" for each, respectively.

[DjStiv3]

@Goomba4001 wait what you can? wtf lol

hey tell me what folders you hhave on yours i had mine a year and used a 256mb sd i switched to a 1gb recently and now i cant save games idk what the problm is i think i had a save folder before but somehow copying back to 1gb i must have lost it but either way it doesnt save and i tried switching between the 2 save options

let me know asap thanks also let me know how to setup and get those gb gbc emulators

[Goomba4001]

@DjStiv3 Here's Goomba (remove spaces): webpersona . com / goomba /

Here's Goomba Color: dwedit . org / gba / goombacolor . php

I haven't done anything with my flash cart recently, and don't remember enough to help. :S Sorry. I'd ask someone online about moving stuff to new SD cards...

[DjStiv3]

@Goomba4001 thanks for the links at least,, idk its wierd the ez help support said may be the card but cant be its a kingston 1gb bought new

idk i'll either have to figure it out or maybe consider getting the built in memory gba clones

i have an ipod/psp and this glash cart but a gba clone with built in memory wud be way better

[XxLawletxX]

Is that site where you obtain the cartridge really trust worthy? Thanks.

[Goomba4001]

@XxLawletxX I don't have any particular reasons for why it wouldn't be (but I don't blame you for thinking it's shady at all).

[DjStiv3]

@Goomba4001 

[DjStiv3]

@Goomba4001 oh also 1gb is suppose to be the max it can handle your link goes to a 2gb which wont work (i asked the ez flash ppl)

[JosueNicolasCamelo]

a question about you including shipping cost?

and what I suggest you choose shipping

[NintendoLover64]

3:00 you accidently made a mistake there. 32MB games like Mother 3 and KH Chains of Memories need to be boot by copying the game to NOR memory by pressing select and selecting copy, not by holding the select button. To get to the NOR memory just go to the root directory on the games list.

[icetyrant]

Thank you, this has been very helpful. I have bought a good number of GBA games, but with stuff like Mother 3 or Fire Emblem; Fuuin no Tsurugi (The one with Roy in it) this is a very nice thing to have.

[SeaSIug]

mother 3 you know the deal

[chuggaaskarmory]

While you are playing the gbc roms can you use the link cable feature if you have a game that alows you to do so on a gba.

[WildWolfG]

Oh by the way, I forgot to ask you...

How long did it take for you to get yours in the mail?

I've never ordered anything from Hong Kong... o_OO

[Goomba4001]

@WildWolfG Two weeks, unfortunately. Eh, I can't complain for free shipping. The company is very efficient- they sent me an email with shipping info as soon as they sent it.

[WildWolfG]

@Goomba4001

Aww... dang =(

DAMN YOU, HONG KONG... for being so far away </3!

Oh well. I can't complain since I'm only paying $31 for mine.

I just got my confirmation E-mail like an hour ago. lol

Thanks again, man.

I'll be sure to reference you when I make my review of this thing. ^_^b

[WildWolfG]

Dude, THANK YOU SO MUCH for the links in your description!

I've been wanting to get one of these, and you saved me $10!

When it finally comes in the mail, I'll be sure to check out the link on setting it up in your video, too.

SUBSCRIPTION GET! lol

[Goomba4001]

@WildWolfG

Woot. ^.^

Also, coincidentally, I have reason to believe you were the 1,337th person to view this video. WHAT DOES IT MEAN OHGOD.

[WildWolfG]

@Goomba4001

lol I was! I noticed that too when I liked it.

AND I was the 1338th also! >_<^

[fuzzyo88]

I love how I can use my cellphone to read my sd.

[infernogamer12]

lawl love the beginning

[ceramiclion]

excellent video.

[RazorRetro]

Im very confused. so you put a micro sd card to a mini sd card adapter? in 1:02 you said you put the micro sd card inside the slot

[Goomba4001]

@RazorRetro Sorry for the late reply. I put a MicroSD into a MiniSD card adapter, which I then put into the EZ Flash IV itself. The port in the EZ Flash IV fits a MiniSD card only, which is why I needed the MiniSD adapter for the MicroSD.

[RazorRetro]

why are you using a micro in the vid and on the link where we can get the sd card from it says micro?

[Goomba4001]

@RazorRetro See the "recommended SD cards" link in the description

[RazorRetro]

@Goomba4001 I know you said mini sd card why are you using a micro

[Goomba4001]

@RazorRetro They're hard to get out. Look at 0:47 in the video.

[RazorRetro]

WHAT KIND OF SD CARD DOES IT NEED A MINI OR A MICRO PLEAS REPLY

[Goomba4001]

@RazorRetro Mini

[Ricjones1994]

@RazorRetro He said mini, but a micro to mini sd card adapter would be easier.

[RazorRetro]

Hey ! I have a few question.

1. How do you put games in it?

2. How do you get the game?

3. Do the games cost money?

Please reply to me as soon as possible.

I would really like to know because I am ready to buy it.!

Please REPLY!

[Goomba4001]

@RazorRetro 1. You have to download illegal, but free ROMs. This is why flash carts aren't very readily available in the US, the only way to put games on them is illegally. :\ Putting them on the cart itself is basically plugging an SD card into a computer, dragging over a ROM of a game you downloaded onto it (or in this case, using a program), and putting it back into the flash cart to play.

2. Various websites provide ROMs. emuparadise.me is a popular choice.

3. Nope.

[RazorRetro]

@Goomba4001 Can you put DS Roms on it to play it you your GBA?

[Goomba4001]

@RazorRetro No... DS games aren't going to play on a GBA... if you want to put this into the GBA slot on a DS Lite though so you can play DS games, that's different (and not my area).

[RazorRetro]

@Goomba4001 Can you play old Gameboy And Gamboy color games?

[Goomba4001]

@RazorRetro Yes, but you will need to download the programs "Goomba" and "Goomba Color". Both are the top results when you google "goomba emulator".

[RazorRetro]

@Goomba4001 Can you save games like pokemon emerald on the ez flash and save gameboy and color games?

[Goomba4001]

@RazorRetro Yep...

[RazorRetro]

@Goomba4001 Can you use a micro sd card on it instead of a mini?

[Goomba4001]

@RazorRetro I will add though that ROMs, like pirated music or movies, are not actively searched for, or cared about by authority in general. You won't get in legal trouble for owning them. Some people say ROMs are legal if you own the physical game, or if you delete it in a certain amount of time, but these are not true. Whether or not you want to use them is a moral issue. I don't think there's anything wrong about them at all, as long as support is still given to Nintendo when they rerelease.

[Genocide2242]

over 32MB? pshh mine cant go over 20MB

[LinksOcarina7]

how did you get mother 1+2 in english?!?!?!?!?!

[Goomba4001]

@LinksOcarina7 goo . gl / Xx8jy

[LinksOcarina7]

@Goomba4001 what's that suppost to mean?

[Goomba4001]

@LinksOcarina7 It's a URL... copy and paste it into the browser window, remove the spaces, and it will take you to the Mother 1+2 link. (For some reason, YouTube doesn't let you post direct URL's so that's why you have to put the spaces in like that.)

[098Haloman]

is it laggy at all?

[Goomba4001]

@098Haloman It runs flawlessly. :D

[thewalkerd]

Why did you put a hand full of shit as a subliminal image?!

[Goomba4001]

@thewalkerd To correspond with "framerate droppings". harharhar

[caschristian97]

how long did it take to get to your house from realhotstuff.hk

[Goomba4001]

@caschristian97 A little over two weeks. :\ Not bad for free shipping though.

[vcoleiro1]

Thanks for a great vid regarding how to use EZ-Flash, the links you provided were just the ticket also.

[turbobladez]

hey its been awhile

got another question :d

is their a way i can play videos with this? and if i have to convert a video to .gba can you reccommend a good program?

[Goomba4001]

@turbobladez Converting a video to .gba would probably be the best way to do it, but I've never had any experience with that outside of games. :\ I would just try to Google around, or maybe ask on a flash card forum.

[turbobladez]

@Goomba4001 yea i asked that a bit quickly but after googling around i found out how but its not worth it....

the quality kinda sucks and converting takes forever...

ill just stick to my ipod :P

[vree360]

Not user friendly? Wtf

I have this card for years now, it's freaking easy as hell. Oh no using a program....

Also if you flash the card to the latest firmware you will get rid of the japanese text.

For the latest firmware check Gbatemp . net => Downloads.

[Goomba4001]

@vree360 I consider the fact that there's no way you can even get this working without unofficial help forums and wikis as user-unfriendliness, but maybe THAT'S JUST ME. It's by no means unusable, it's just very idiosyncratic. Note that I still "highly recommend" it. :P

[turbobladez]

oh and one other thing, im pretty sure turning off my gameboy everytime i wanna pick a new game is not good for it... im scared the slider will one day rub down to the point where it wont work

so is their a way I can soft reset back to the gba game selection screen

[Goomba4001]

@turbobladez Not that I'm aware of, but I really don't think you'll have to worry. You would have to be turning off the system to change games normally, anyway.

[turbobladez]

@Goomba4001 yea I doubt it would work now...

anyway i think im all set, sorry for being nooby but i just got the thing today lol

if i think up anymore questions ill be sure to come back here :3

[turbobladez]

is their anymore themes? :L

[Goomba4001]

@turbobladez Plenty. There's an entire board for EZ Flash IV skins in the "Good forum about the flash card" I linked to in the description.

[PyrobyteX]

Very professional. Great job!

[zodiark111]

Lovin the intro.
