The EZ-Flash Parallel is one of the last slot-1 flashcarts manufactured by the EZ-Flash team for the Nintendo DS since the EZ-Flash V. It supports both DS, unhacked DS(i) and 3DS/2DS systems; the flashcart comes pre-flashed with ntrboot which can be used as of means of recovering from a bricked state or soft-mod the console.

Criticisms

List of criticisms with the EZ-Flash Parallel flashcart.

GPL Violation

The EZP kernel uses a modified build of Yellow Wood Goblin's Wood R4 kernel. Because Wood R4 is closed-source, it means that the team is also violating the GPL, due to the last version being licensed under the GPL which later became open-source.

Flashcart Bricks

Prior to kernel v1.06, the game "Casper's Scare School: Spooky Sports Day" can brick the flashcart, due to the game requiring a save patch (post).

Sleep Mode/Hibernation Issues

It has been reported, that, sleep mode is non-functional when it is used in-game, causing a strobe effect on both screens when the lid is closed as seen by this GBAtemp thread. As of writing, it has not been fixed, even up to the latest kernel version. This was not the first flashcart to experience this issue; in-fact, it was a common problem with early R4 clones, such as the R4 SDHC, for example.
