DS Flash Equipment > goddamn EZFlash V. help!

#143942 - the warlock - Sat Oct 27, 2007 5:00 pm

So I'm trying to get started writing DS stuff. So I downloaded devkitARM r21 and ndslib and such, and installed it all, and started noodling around with the examples and such.

Well, everything works fine in DeSmuMe, but when I load the .nds onto my EZFlash V (running the latest 1.61 firmware), I just get two white screens. This happens with everything I write and all of the given examples.

The weird thing is PAlib examples usually work fine.

Anyone know how to fix any of this stuff?

Do you patch it?

You need to patch it so it has "PASS" on there somewhere:P

Use the .ds.gba file on EZFlash. -edit- Oh wait, EZFlash V? Not sure.

EZFlash supposedly fixed that a few firmware versions ago, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to check; they do tend to screw up as many things as they fix each update. I kinda wish I bought an R4 instead, but I wanted GBA homebrew too and the package with the 3-in-1 was so cheap at the time.

So EZFlash released a firmware update yesterday that fixes everything they broke with the last update, and now everything works fine.

Sorry for bothering everyone.
