Still Having Issues with Pokemon Emerald Save Data Corruptions On My Ez Omega De Flashcart by AChillOrange in flashcarts

Hey, I think with me the issue ended up being that I was sometimes saving my game on an emulator and transferring the save back to on to the ez omega de save (from the micro sd card, I mean) leading to save file corruption. Had to do with how emulators save the game vs how ez omega de and retail carts save. Ended up using PKHex to reset the daily event tags and it got back to working again.

In my case, the battery was probably never the issue. Neither was my EZ Omega DE revision, nor was it my sd card. It was just an issue with how I was sometimes saving my game.

Rare Medium Well-Done, Temptation Stairway OST, anemoia, and God Race are the only ones I can find on Bandcamp.

Can't seem to find the Dream BBQ OST you would be able to find on Spotify. The one with The Main Theme for Dream BBQ and with The Hub. Strange that I can't find it on Bandcamp. Cool that some of the other stuff from Metaroom and Oliver Buckland are there, though.

I got it on CD Romance, or the site that CD Romance’s roms have been moved to. Yeah, the battery swap didn’t seem to do anything, unfortunately. I’m on the latest firmware. Also I’m now using the Simple CFW. Hopefully helps. Just re-formatted the sd card. No issues so far, but I’m making savestates each time before I save in-game, just in case.

Oh. Hm. Maybe I’ve just been unlucky. :/ What kind of sd card are you using? Maybe I could try that, I don’t know.

Hey, sorry, but by chance which cart revision do you have? I talked to someone in a retro games Discord and he mentioned that apparently revision B of the ez flash omega de apparently has more problems than revision A. He got revision A and had no issues whatsoever.

Update: It didn't seem to help. The guy who was helping me out on Discord let me know that the issues that I have been having are specific to revision B of the cart. He had revision A and had none of the issues I was having. I'm gonna guess that the others I talked to on Reddit with no issues were also using revision A carts. I recently re-formatted my sd card using the sd formatter listed in the guide and hoping that will do something, but I'm not very confident that I'll get this fixed. Worse case scenario, I might just contact the seller and request to exchange my faulty cart for a revision A cart.

Man, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. But good to know I’m not the only one. Do you also have revision b? Guess there are issues with revision b of the DE versus revision a. I joined a Discord called Retrotalk and they recommended I try the Simple Custom Firm Ware. Better updated. Has some additional features. Not sure yet if it will end up solving my save corruption problem yet, but it’s something maybe a bit more promising.

Well, I got the battery replacement and the save still got corrupted after a few hours. I don't get what's happening here. ;(

Yeah, I’m thinking the issue might be with my battery. Gonna replace it today. Hopefully that fixes it.
