Mother 3 with EZFlash II 256mb

I get a 16MB rom file?!

RagingAvatar

Hey guys,

I have an EZ Flash II 256MB cartridge and burner – and when I try to rip my original Japanese Mother 3 cart all I get is a 16MB file..

So when I try to apply the translation patch to it, it complains because the file is half the size it should be!

Where am I going wrong?

Please help!

I had a similar problem, but with flash 2 advance. What program are you using to rip?

The rom is easily available online and nobody cares how you get it. It sounds like it would save a lot of trouble to just download it. But if you’re dead-set on doing it this way, there’s nothing I can do to stop you.
Also, I’ve heard that people have problems playing 256Mb roms on a 256Mb-exactly cart. Some guy on here apparently fixed it by trimming some zeros off in a hex editor, but I don’t know too much about that.
I’ve never used an EZ Flash II, so I’m not much help, but if you do get it to work, please tell us how.

I’m using EZClient 3.25 : http://ezflash.cn/software.htm

The reason I want to get this going is because I want to be assured that I’m playing Mother 3 legally!

Anyone got any suggestions?!
