Upgrading the EZ-FLASH Jr so it works with the FPGBC, sort of...

Описание: I wasn't able to get the EZ-FLASH Jr to work with the FPGBC at first. Upgrading the EZ-FLASH Jr to firmware version 1.05 got it to boot and play some games, but this version is still in development and can potentially brick your EZ-FLASH Jr, so be warned. Not all games worked though, some would freeze when trying to load them. It seems you can get around that by decreasing the FPGBC's speed down to around 4, but that's a little slow. Also I didn't test this for very long, so your mileage may vary!

As a bonus you can watch me struggle trying to get the FPGBC screen glued in place! Exciting!

WARNING: User @andersenpeters in the comments has done some investigation that shows the lockup happens when a game switches to the GBC's double speed mode. If this is true and you're playing with the FPGBC at a normal speed (not the slow speed I suggest in the video) and a game is working, it could "randomly" freeze during gameplay if the game tries to switch to double speed mode. That would be annoying! I don't know if any games do this switch in the middle of play rather than just once at the start of a game though.
