EZ5i Kernel 3.0 OB1 and EZ5i firmware v101
10th June 2010- massive changes afoot
Change log (v3.0 OB1):
Firmware
-note you need to at least be on firmware v12 prior to using this firmware update-
Current firmware is displayed in the options section of the kernel, do not try to downgrade.

For [705] users
http://filetrip.net/f6173-EZ5i-firmware-update-14.html
1.New unified EZ5i firmware- 705 and 805 hardware revisions now use one firmware. EZ5i users will need to update to this to use 3.0 properly.
2.Fixed problems with DSi XL on all versions
3.Emulated ROM reads under 0x8000 at firmware level "0x8000 inhibitor"- a common flash cart detection method now blocked.
4.EZTeam member Feng rewrote DLDI to v3 and general write crc calculations now performed on card FPGA rather than on the DS CPU- massive speedup resulting on all writing related activities.
5.Improved handling of certain microSD(HC) models- issues with memory made in Taiwan should be sorted
Kernel changelog
1.Added "special mode" that disables ARM9 patching- combined with the under 0x8000 read emulation most present and possibly future AP methods will be blocked. This does disable extra functions so patches will still be necessary.
2.Special mode speed setting- highest speed 0, lowest 10. Allows users with slower memory to set a speed.
3.Rewrite to accommodate new firmware- old kernels will not work any more
4.Added multi-splash screen and splash screen animation capability
5.EZ5i now uses ez5isys.bin replacing ez5sys.bin (which will be kept/updated for older models)

The EZTeam have released an update aimed at the EZ5i (other lines will be updated soon- this release will still work for them though). It represents a big change in the way the EZ5i operates and should see big improvements as a result.
