Hello,
I've encountered a few recent issues when using my EZ-Flash Omega DE. I bought it in February and it's been working great until now.
However, I've recently come into an issue when trying to load games on via NOR Flash.
Due to the length of the videos I've recorded, I've uploaded them as unlisted on YouTube.
PART 1 (VIDEO LENGTH = 10:55) (Basic Tests, plus safe mode menu test):
PART 2 (VIDEO LENGTH = 5:00) (Formatting Test):
Additional Notes (For context behind the issue and my own attempts to resolve the issue):
PS; Sorry for the background noise in the videos. My windows are open and my computer is on plus, I live near an main road so a lot of loud noises can get in. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Additional Notes (For context behind the issue and my own attempts to resolve the issue):
- This is an issue that has only just appeared when the last few days.
- Almost every time I move a game to the NOR Flash, the issue seems slightly different. Sometimes the game won't load at all, sometimes the game menu works perfectly but the game save won't load, sometimes I have a few graphical issues, yet sometimes very rarely the game will work with seemingly no issues at all (Only to break again after turning the GBA off and on)
- While I'm using the custom Simple theme, I've also tested with the stock set-up and the same issues occur.
- I've never shut down the GBA while formatting in the past, and I've made sure to wait around 5 seconds before shutting down my GBA after saving a game.
- The ROM files are probably not the issue, as I've replaced them with new ROM files before posting this.
- I have made sure the connector points are clean, using 'WD-40 Specialist Fast Drying Contact Cleaner'.
- The EZ-Flash cartridge hasn't been opened, so I haven't touched the board.
- I have used Mode-B to connect the EZ-Flash to send Pokémon to and from Pokémon Colosseum, XD, and Box: Ruby & Sapphire. However the cable I used was the official Nintendo branded one.
- The SD Card has been reformatted using FAT32. This is something I did when I got the EZ-Flash and once again when the issue started occurring.
- This EZ-Flash was specifically ordered from SenkoGames.
