Is Super Game Boy more compatible with this update?

I believe things like Super Game Boy/Super Game Boy 2 compatibility will be something planned for a later update, could be wrong though. Based on the looks of things currently, the EZ-Flash Junior is starting off at a decent pace with features. The EverDrive GB (Original) still has some features that the EZ-Flash Junior still doesn't support yet, such as Game Genie cheats for example, GameShark cheat compatibility isn't even a thing for either of the flashcarts (not even the EverDrive GB X3-X7 has GameShark cheat compatibility for whatever reason). Point is there are features that aren't present at this moment in time, it's still too early to tell if certain features will come or not. Though from what I gather, flashcart development has always been one of those things developers would compete with, market battles if you will, which one sports the same if not more/better features over the competitor brand, and ultimately the pricing of it. It's kind of like the situation between the EZ-Flash Omega and the EverDrive GBA X5, both are viable options, but it's evident that the competition is there in the market, everyone has their preferences, though for me I see both as viable options, just depends on the price range you are willing to go for. The first update barely came out for the EZ-Flash Junior as it is so, I say wait a little bit before asking certain questions or making requests, that way we see where this is going a little bit before we start asking the questions I am sure many are dying to ask.

ok, I'll try again, thanks
I hope the next release will add support to storing more roms in a folder, I've got some issues when loading games from the child folder or with long file name, anyway the loading speed is faster than I expect, plz keep up the good working

Are "Juniors" from AliExpress legit and able to update firmware? I mean, those which look like "Junior", with "EZGB" on PCB and everything... not "let's name ED GB clones as Juniors to boost sales" scam.

 

[EZ-Flash2]

it seems some people hard to spell junior in China, in deed, there are several short names of the product, such as: EZJ EZJR and EZGB

How much of battery life does EZ flash junior eats compared to using legit games (carts)?

It's really weird, because some sellers on Aliexpress had 2 differents listing for EZ Flash Jr. One looks like just a EDGB chinese clone in EZ case and the other looks legit if the pictures are true, however both listings are cheaper than the sale price of official resellers on EZ Flash site.
There's only one listing with both pictures and price similar to the official ones, but I can't say if that's a true EZ Flash either.
