Introduction &#8211; <\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\">The EZ Team probably isn&rsquo;t one of the most well-known or  popular team in the market, but they have been in the scene for quite a  while.&nbsp; Starting in the GBA scene with  their EZ Flash I, EZ Flash II and EZ Flash III, these carts were well known for  their superb compatibility with GBA games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\">It was safe to say that EZ Team would come out with another  flash cartridge.&nbsp; And soon enough the EZ  Flash IV emerged, with the ability to use MiniSD cards.&nbsp; Almost a year ago, the EZ Team released  another reiteration of their cart for the DS Lite, the EZ Flash IV Lite.&nbsp; However because of the complaints that it  stuck out a few millimeters, they released, yet again, more revisions, the EZ  Flash IV Lite Deluxe and the EZ Flash IV Lite Compact.&nbsp; Both these carts claim to fit flush into the  DS Lite, and share the same glossy layer as the dust cover supplied with the DS  Lite consoles.&nbsp; The EZ Flash IV Lite  Compact was released at a much cheaper price, but with no GBA support, while  the EZ Flash IV Lite Deluxe retained all of the features of the original EZ  Flash IV Lite.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\">&#8211; Design &#8211;<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\">The packaging for the EZ Flash IV Lite Deluxe wasn&rsquo;t as  impressive as I had hoped.&nbsp; It looked  nice compared with competitors, but it didn&rsquo;t have the high quality of the  previous EZ Flash products.&nbsp; I remember  the EZ Flash III came in a wooden box with a great yet simplistic design.&nbsp; Receiving a cardboard box just didn&rsquo;t seem  right.&nbsp; However, comparing with today&rsquo;s  standards, it seems good enough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\"><a href='http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r98\/PharaohsVizier\/IMG_0530.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/c0f7ab92b898673f1dbbd2985547dd55.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" imagescaler=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/65720cc1b21e16ad544a195d1f2b4300.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n                <em>The EZ Flash IV Lite Deluxe comes in pretty decent packaging. <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\">Inside the packaging is a nice plastic tray with the EZ  Flash IV Lite Deluxe and an EZ Pass 3 (or an EZ Flash SD Reader depending on  what bundle you have purchased).&nbsp; The EZ  Pass 3 works like a charm, there is no splash screen similar to the older versions  of the Passcard 3 and the Superkey.&nbsp;  However, unlike the Passcard 3 or Superkey, it does have a chip sticking  out, which makes it a little hard to push in.&nbsp;  I don&rsquo;t actually have the EZ Flash SD Reader, but I assume it is just  another average SD card reader.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\"><a href='http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r98\/PharaohsVizier\/IMG_0529.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/7054055d4246004b3d79bdb59c7a8e76.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" imagescaler=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/c39d2a22aa9ed4eee9691de9ec55d7ae.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n                <em>In the EZ Flash IV Lite Deluxe bundle, you receive an EZ Flash IV Lite Deluxe and an EZ Pass 3. <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\">The EZ Flash IV Lite Deluxe itself looks impressive.&nbsp; The sticker has a very nice look and feel to  it, and also displays the beautiful white, yellow and black EZ Flash logo.&nbsp; The cartridge looks like it&rsquo;ll fit the DS  Lite flush, and has a nice glossy feel for the entire casing.&nbsp; On the back is a serial number.&nbsp; I believe the sticker was put in that area to  avoid a loose screw.&nbsp; On the right side  of the cart is a MicroSD slot.&nbsp; It looks  quite problematic because it isn&rsquo;t spring loaded, nor does it look easy to  remove.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\"><a href='http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r98\/PharaohsVizier\/IMG_0532.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/9a4551751bcc0061f199ee80b0573011.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" imagescaler=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/bafea88186f3f7549ddde0db6161329f.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n                <em>The MicroSD slot for this cart is just pathetic. <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\">Upon usage, I noticed that the EZ Flash team missed by a  millimeter of being flush, and that the white color is a little off.&nbsp; However, it does slide in and out quite  nicely, and the glossy paint on the cart gives off a nice shine.&nbsp; The MicroSD slot takes some skill to get used  to.&nbsp; You have to use the right strength  to yank it out.&nbsp; Thankfully, the EZ Flash  team left the right side of the case fairly easy to partially take apart, which  in turn lets the MicroSD just fall out a little.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\"><a href='http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r98\/PharaohsVizier\/IMG_0533.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/1b2cded372554216532a7e8f8490c448.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" imagescaler=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/0adf1d5f2d72394120fcde4cf497d70d.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n                <em>So close to being flush, yet so far&#8230;

 It seems that they finally have their patchers perfected.&nbsp; The EZ Client patches roms fairly fast,  allows for batch mode, and pretty much is a two button operation with a pretty  decent interface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\"><a href='http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r98\/PharaohsVizier\/screenshot.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/124ee88ed0a64cfbf6b456e38b71ce49.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" imagescaler=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/65a0d0e9fd45643f2b9e235dcf5f708c.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n                <em>It doesn&#8217;t get any easier than this, other than drag and drop of course. <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\">You simply click Open, select your file.&nbsp; Normally you would have everything set to  default, which would allow you to reset in game, however you can changed the  two options they have with a click of the mouse, then you are ready to click  Send.&nbsp; It patches fairly fast, but still  somewhat slow compared to some other patchers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\">Did I mention that this patcher works for DS and GBA  roms?&nbsp; For both kinds of roms, you click  the same buttons, and it will patch the same way.&nbsp; I can&rsquo;t stress how good this software  is.&nbsp; The main software itself hasn&rsquo;t seen  an update in ages, however, <a href=\"http:\/\/ezflash.sosuke.com\/viewtopic.php?t=905\" target=\"_blank\">some files<\/a> that the software uses are frequently patched  to maintain 100% compatibility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\">&#8211; Use &#8211;<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\">The EZ Flash 4 Lite Deluxe has a firmware that is very  similar to the EZ Flash III.&nbsp; This means  that it can be run in two modes, NDS mode and GBA mode.&nbsp; Unlike other flash carts, each mode features  a completely different menu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\">With any passme card or a slot 1 cart with passme function,  including the EZ Pass III that is included, you can boot the EZ Flash IV Lite  Deluxe in NDS mode.&nbsp; When booted, the  cart writes the save file from the last time you have played a game.&nbsp; Interestingly, the time it takes varies a lot  even though all save files are the same.&nbsp;  Most of the time the load time is quite quick and takes no more than a  second or two.&nbsp; The NDS mode features a  very simplistic, yet nice menu showing a list of the available roms.&nbsp; On the side there are 4 icons which are all  fairly useless other than the options that toggle how you save and the NOR button which allows you to access files stored of the EZ Flash IV Lite Deluxe&#8217;s built in memory.&nbsp; NDS mode allows both DS and GBA games to be  booted.&nbsp; The load time is quite quick for  DS games and GBA games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\"><a href='http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r98\/PharaohsVizier\/IMG_0523.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/63250b08d7411e1cf9ccf3ac26f7c216.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" imagescaler=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/bb1b8b2bb8a2f9f7ae856b266ca455f2.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n                  <a href='http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r98\/PharaohsVizier\/IMG_0524.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/1d878a428d5d3bfb36733f18f7fd6e70.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" imagescaler=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/7930ef30db75d6dc488229e6493ad6bd.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n                <em>The NDS menu is quite simplistic, but very efficient. <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\"><a href='http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r98\/PharaohsVizier\/IMG_0539.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/c8f8938e50474d4c14c6f0372962e6e6.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" imagescaler=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/6c23bb98e8a02b0453a8ab76cb1f8753.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n                  <a href='http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r98\/PharaohsVizier\/IMG_0540.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/e63ebf8d19de8a45a771d2ffad954bf4.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" imagescaler=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/0e874edfbe9ca72f4ef759c8f88fa2b5.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n                    <em>Because of how long the EZ Flash IV series has been out, as well as sharing a similar menu with the EZ Flash III there is a pretty decent amount of skins around.

There is also a folder called EZ-Disk,  which is basically your MicroSD card.&nbsp;  Basically you just scroll up and down with the up and down button, or go  up and down pages by clicking left and right.&nbsp;  Loading for GBA games take about 5 to 10 seconds, which is quite good  compared with all the other carts on the market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\"><a href='http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r98\/PharaohsVizier\/IMG_0520.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/c53380e1e1e20541674b6e6fdcf810c4.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" imagescaler=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/6a189559c84ecb5e7ed6b5e05b406905.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n                Here is where you select games.

Although I am not impressed with the lag, I can say that it is decent. And compatibility is at  almost 100% if not 100% at this point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style17\"><a href='http:\/\/i142.photobucket.com\/albums\/r98\/PharaohsVizier\/IMG_0525.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/3ae3f9d3458ae87f3da18b508a089c15.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" imagescaler=\"http:\/\/dsdatabase.org\/blog\/wp-content\/imagescaler\/ceaf32b802fd0a9231b42a265ccbc63b.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n                <em>Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin runs pretty decent.

And this is obviously  true.&nbsp; In GBA mode, I have not had a  single problem with GBA games, all of them played flawlessly at incredible  speeds.&nbsp; There was no problem running  them, they were all at full speed.&nbsp;  Compatibility is at 100% for sure.&nbsp;  There are no problems running GBA homebrew, prepatched games, or any  retail rom.&nbsp; However, in NDS mode, I have  had trouble.&nbsp; Generally all roms run  perfectly.&nbsp;

The MicroSD slot is just terrible,  the process of taking out a MicroSD card is almost impossible for the first  little while.&nbsp; And of course, the cart  does not fit perfectly flush, nor does the color match the Polar White DS  Lite.&nbsp;
