    Hope you all enjoyed this video on the EZ Flash Definitive Edition!
    If you want to purchase one, here's the link to Senko Games: senkogames.com/products/ez-flash-omega-definitive-edition-de-gameboy-advance-gba-game-boy-sd-card
    Some people have been confused about my comment on it being 3x cheaper, it seems to be that in the US, there is less price difference, only around $30, but in the U.K., there is around £100 difference, probably due to customs tax and currency conversion. Either way, it’s cheaper, and better! :)

      I wouldn’t regret it, the EZ Flash cards suck up more energy from the GBA, so the battery lasts less. The Everdrive is actually great in that regard, as it uses as little as possible in resources to function. It still uses more energy than what normal cartridges do but less than the EZ

    I remember the old Super Card from 2012, that had a mini SD card slot and could hold up to 2gb storage. Now it runs an insane 128GB card. that's mind blowing for 10 years later. for what you show on the video, it runs folders and software like, really really fast, that's an excellent feature. Considerating that the original OS had no home screen and was a direct boot to the game, you can start playing your games right away.

    Incidentally I had an EZ Flash branded GBA flashcart back in the day - it held 4 games in its internal memory and needed a dedicated USB writer. I actually recently found the cart but it seems to be dead and the writer is nowhere to be seen. I wonder if it's the same company? 🤔

    The everdrive is $99 and this is $71 so it’s only $28 cheaper, though.
    I’m really curious about how much power it actually uses. The old one used DOUBLE what a regular cartridge used, while the everdrive only used 20% more.
    These extra features are truly amazing, though. Really hoping this lights a fire under krikzz’s belly. I’m looking forward to the everdrive GBA X7.

      Here the X5 Mini is £130+ and the DE is £50 so it’s a lot cheaper compared to us prices for some reason?

I’ve been looking at getting an Everdrive GBA X5 Mini versus an EZ Flash, but the price is within a $20 difference in the US, and some other reviews I’ve read online said that the EZ Flash has lower build quality, longer loading time, and higher power consumption, bringing down the overall value of the cart? If you get a chance I’d like to see you test the power consumption and see if there’s actually a difference. Really happy you did this video tho!

    Amazing that EZ-Flash is still around. I had an EZ-Flash... 2 I think? It was probably 2003 or so it didn't use micro SD cards. Instead there was a USB writer that you put the cartridge into and it required custom drivers and software.

    Nice video !
    I ADORE the EZ-Flash line of cartridges.
    I have two EZ-Flash IV Omega and an EZ-Flash Jr.
    I'm also considering to buy an EZ-Flash Definitive Edition.
    P.S. For me the EZ-Flash IV Omega is better than the Everdrive since the day of the release, ofcourse back in 2016 the EZ-Flash IV Omega was full of bugs ... but at least the cartrige fits ALL Game Boy Advance slots (including the DS Lite one) since D1.
    Compared to the Everdrive GBA cartridge that (even with a better hardware/software) have continued to stick out from ALL the GBA slots until the second revision ... that still now sticks out from the DS Lite GBA slots.
    The new and improved EZ-Flash cartride is now big like the Everdrive version, now they both have the same dimension of a regular GBA cartridge so now is only a matter of who has better functions and power consumption.
    I hope that the EZ-Flash IV Omega will implement a light sensor and a giroscope for the games that uses those functions 😉
    For now we have the rumble function (1 function, 2 more functions to implement).

    It’s an interesting flash card for the GBA,it would be cool to install the snes advance emulator on it so you can play some snes games on it albeit without sound, also about that save state feature,
    Did you know that the nes powerpak(as far as i do know) was officially never designed with save state in mind BUT loopy created an unofficial save state patch for the powerpak sothat you can save state many nes games with it,heck you can even create save state files with it and store your save states on the cf flash card permanently😁

  • @BashoStrikes

    I've purchased two of these over the past three years. Eventually both became problematic with some of my devices as the contacts wore down quite quickly causing them to not boot. I found if I pulled the cartridges out of the reader slightly they then would boot in those devices. Eventually the problem continued to expand to all devices. Obviously if the cartridge was left in a particular device this problem would be lessened, but if pulled in and out of different devices it won't last long. I've not had this problem with any other genuine cartridges. I have a number of devices and I like to play them all.
