SimpleLight for EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition

If you're looking for SimpleLight for the original EZ Flash Omega, check here: https://github.com/Sterophonick/SimpleLight

Hello all!

I have been working on a new theme for the EZ-Flash Omega, and I call it Simple.

It is a nice rounded theme with both light and dark options, and allows for many, many more file types to be used, such as Master System and ZX Spectrum ROMs to be launched, along with the ability to view bitmap images, read text documents, and play music. (shoutouts to Kuwanger for PogoShell)

I completely redid all of the graphics, along with using a different font.

It also uses the 2019-05-04 version of Goomba Color, and has a save backup feature (shoutouts to Veikkos)

Hope everyone likes it!

Installation instructions:

Be sure you're using the most recent version, and follow the installation instructions in the !!!!!!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!.TXT file in the GBAtemp package before reporting issues.

ALSO YOU MUST USE THE OFFICIAL KERNEL TO UPDATE THE FIRMWARE; THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE BASE OMEGA :(

  1. Copy the SYSTEM and BACKUP folder to the root of the SD Card.
  2. Move your IMGS, SAVER, RTS, and PATCH folders to SYSTEM.
  3. If you want the light theme, copy ezkernel-light.bin to the root of the SD Card. If you want the dark thing, do the same with ezkernel-dark.bin
  4. Rename the new kernel file to ezkernel.bin
  5. You're done!

* For Cologne, you have to make the ROM yourself.
** MSXAdvance uses the C-BIOS, so I can redistribute the emulator.

Cologne Emulator Guide:
  1. Download the latest version of Cologne.
  2. Open the EXE file.
  3. Take a blank file, and also add the Official Colecovision BIOS.
  4. Create col.gba in the PLUG folder.

This ZIP file contains some tech demos/games:

  • XBill (SG-1000)
  • Sega Tween (SMS)
  • WinGG (Game Gear)
  • HuZERO (PC-Engine)
  • 1968 (ZX-Spectrum)
  • Adventures Of Gus and Rob (Neo Geo Pocket)
  • Kaboom! (Homebrew) (ColecoVision)
  • Motkonque (MSX)
  • SwanDriving (WonderSwan)
  • F8Z (Chip-8)

How to build

  1. Install devkitPro
  2. Set the following environment variables to their correct directories: DEVKITPRO, DEVKITARM, LIBGBA
  3. Comment or uncomment the #define DARK line in draw.h. If uncommented, a dark theme is generated.
  4. Run the command make. If done successfully, this should give you an ezkernel.bin file.
  5. Follow the installation instructions above.
  6. Update your flashcart and enjoy! :)
