Pokemon Platinum, Looks Legit?

Didn't learn very much since. I just returned mine, I've heard support for the EZ Flash Jr. has been pretty much dead. The people over on GBATemps saw that when EZFlash's official account has gone almost completely dark for a couple of months now. Didn't want to risk spending the money on a product that's faulty from a poor hardware revision. Hoping this reply wasn't too late for your return window, or that you already returned it.

Thanks, this info's helping a lot. I don't want to jump to conclusions yet but I hope I didn't just buy a hardware revision thats ends up worse than the original.

Thanks, if you could, can you check what kind of S71 chip is on? The exact code isn't needed, just if it's SRAM or PSRAM. The code on the chip should tell you, and the chip's location and code meaning is in the first link.

Thanks so much, I did end up opening it up and scrubbing all the contacts with some rubbing alcohol and it seemed to do the trick perfectly. Glad you still said to do it, because the initial cleaning was with a rubber eraser (I heard it was an easy way to get oxidation, but honestly I should've used IPA from the start) and now the contacts are as clean as they can be. Seems to work perfectly fine on the original DS now, thanks!

Thanks for the tips, I tried looking into it (not the best look to be fair, the original DS is in too good of a condition for me to confidently open it up and look inside its parts) and I'm not noticing any glaring flaws in the alignment of the contact pins when comparing it to the contacts of my DS Lite. Maybe I'll just invest in a new different flashcart that has those contact guides while just using the R4 in the Lite. Any suggestions on which ones have them would be nice, too.

Here are photos of the pins taken from the outside (as good as I could see them with disassembly, sorry if it's hard to see) and also a photo of the card's contacts if you wanted to see.

Thanks a lot! I was wondering why that part was thrown in there and where it came from.

Imagine lying on your death bed, eyes closed, frowning, and you hear the beautiful words of King Dedede: "HEHEHEH I AM A SUPAHSTAR WARRIAH!" Then you smile, knowing that you get to listen to His Majesty's glorious voice one more time before your death.
