The first thing you want to do when you get a new cart is to put the newest version of loader (firmware) onto it.On   the EZ4 this is easily done by placing the updated firmware (ezfla_up.bin) onto your microSD and holding down the R trigger while you are booting up. It takes a minute to reflash the chip and then you must restart. This works in both DS and GBA modes. 
 
卡带  
我真的很迷惑（Cloud920：这句话直译是：我真不知道为什么。但是后面又跟了“because”（因为）我怕读者迷惑，这里更改了翻译），因为Compact和Deluxe的外壳是如此的一样（Cloud920：难不成要开两个磨具？？）。但是由于某些原因，Deluxe（Cloud920：以下简称DX，Compact简称CT）的外壳在microSD接口附近不是闭合的但是CT就是闭合的。这个问题不大，只需要少量超级胶水就能搞定。某些人估计会很失望的，虽然是修订版本的硬件，EZ4 DX & CT仍然不能完美与DS LITE吻合。这次（的EZ4）已经接近完美了，大多数的使用者基本上不会抱怨了—除了屁眼（Cloud920：作者估计是在说EZ4 DX & CT已经是完美的产品的了，如果在抱怨，就有点过分了。关于“anal”的翻译，我无从选择，只能直译了，但是我估计作者在骂人。我倾向于翻译成为“完美主义”者，毕竟在意突出的人还是有的，但是尊重作者，直译了）。现在已经知道有办法将DX和CT完美插入LITE了，如果完美插入LITE对于某些使用者很重要的话，那么他们可以试试是否能比EZ小组做得更好。      
 
拿到新的卡带，首先你要做的就是把最新的内核（固件）弄到EZ4里面去。在EZ4上很容易做到的，只需将想要升级的固件（EZFLA_UP.BIN）放到你的microSD中然后按下R键开机。一分钟就重新刷了芯片，然后你必须重新启动机器。GBA和NDS模式都可以的。    
 
DS   
The DS loader is pretty straight forward. There is no menu you have to open to select your game -- they are presented to you right away. The loader is totally skinable but the downside is that you need to run a program on your PC that embeds the picture files into the firmware upgrade (ezfla_up.bin) and then upgrade the loader. This can be tedious so make sure you like the skin you are going to put on your EZ4 before you flash it. I recommend using a utility called EZSkinner (and not just because I made it) so you don't find out over and over that a skin doesn't look as cool as you thought it would -- resulting in tons of firmware reflashes. The interface is touchscreen capable so you can gloat to your m3-owning buddies about that. Another cool thing about the menu is that it will scroll the name of the currently selected game/folder if it is too big to fit in the space it is alotted. It is such a simple feature but it really does improve the quality of the menu.   
 
DS端  
DS端的内核非常简单明了。没有什么菜单需要你选择去开启游戏----游戏就在你面前。内核可以更换皮肤，但是不爽的是你必须在电脑上运行一个程序让图片嵌进想要升级的内核里然后再说升级内核。过程比较无聊，所以在刷内核之前，确定耍进内核的图片是你喜欢的。我推荐使用一个叫做EZSkinner的前端工具（不仅仅是因为我是作者），这样你就不必一次又一次的查看skin是不是跟以想象的一样酷---结果就是一次又一次的刷内核。界面是可触摸的，这样你就可以在只用M3的兄弟面前炫耀了（Cloud920：木见过M3，跟别提用了，M3主界面不可触摸？）。菜单另外一个比较帅的地方是，如果你当前选择的游戏名\文件夹比预留方游戏名的地方要长，他就会滚动来显示。（Cloud920：这个老外说话好啰嗦）。这个特性很简单，但是真的改善了菜单列表的质量。   
 
Off to the left side there 3 selectable icons: Disk, NOR, and Settings. Disk is what you are presented with right away -- it shows you what is on your microSD. NOR is only available on the Deluxe cart and will show you what is on the built-in storage of the EZ4 cart. This is usually where you will want to store GBA files that you use often or where GBA games that you are going to use for game linking need to be stored. Previously there was only 32MBytes of NOR in the EZ4 carts but the Deluxe offers 48MBytes of NOR for additional storage of GBA games. Unfortunately, in the DS loader you are only shown the first two games stored in NOR so hopefully this will be fixed soon. The last icon you can select -- Settings -- is just that. At this time there is only one settings in it which alters how you want your saves handled -- Auto Saving or Obliged Saving. It appears that even if you pick Obliged Saving that your game is still automatically saved upon your next bootup.   
 
左边是3个可选择的图标：磁盘，NORFLASH和设置。磁盘就是刚刚在你面前的东西-----它显示的是你的磁盘上有什么东西。NOR只对DX有效（Cloud920：CT是不带GBA功能的，所以无从谈起NOR），显示的是EZ4内建存储器的内容。Nor通常是你想存贮你经常使用的GBA游戏或者是那些你准备联动的游戏。以前EZ4只有32MB在NOR，但是DX版本提供了48MB的GBA游戏附加存储容量。不幸的是，在DS内核里只能看到NOR里面前两个游戏，所以希望能够尽快修复。最后一个你可以选择的是---设置，对，就是他。这次只有一个设置在里面，可以让你选择你的存档方式------自动存档或者强制存档。似乎如果你选择了强制存档的话，你的游戏会在下次开机后自动储存。

 To start a game you can either hit A or double tap the game. You can launch DS games (or GBA games on the Deluxe) from within the DS loader from the microSD (or NOR on the Deluxe). Most every DS game there is works and saves perfectly and most of the ones that don't are problematic on almost every other card (Pokemon Dash, Ultimate Spider-Man, etc.). The EZ Team has been doing a very good job lately with improving the compatibility and, in fact, they were the first to have Lego Star Wars 2 working (except for the eWin 2 cart). As for GBA, it runs the games exactly as it would from the GBA loader with the exception of not allowing you to select cheats in the menu if you had enabled cheats for the game when you patched/transferred it to the microSD. You run homebrew in the same manner. There are a few titles that have support for reading the EZ4 (most notably MoonShell and DSOrganise) but the newly-released FATlib that handles writing to the microSD still needs work. Many homebrew titles that don't require the use of reading from or writing to the microSD will work. In fact some work better than on the m3 (which is considered the king of homebrew compatibility).   
  
按下A键或者双击游戏都能开始一个游戏。你可以从DS（或者GBA游戏在DX上）内核从microSD（或者NOR在DX）开始一个DS游戏。绝大多数的DS游戏都能运行而且完美的存档而且大多数有问题的游戏在其他烧录卡上不是什么问题（口袋妖怪：冲刺，无尽的蜘蛛人等等）（Cloud920：这句话很不好理解）。EZ小组最近在兼容性工作方面做得非常出色，而且事实上，他们是第一个让《乐高星球大战》正常运行的（除了EWIN2）。关于GBA，（在DS端运行GBA游戏）就像是在GBA内核运行游戏是一样的（Cloud920：我的经验是，会丢桢，3-5桢/sec），有一点例外，如果你在传送游戏的时候已经选择了作弊文件的话，（在DS内核开启GBA游戏的时候）不允许你开启作弊。在运行自治软件的时候也是一样的，有许多的软件（Cloud920：Title可能指的就是自制软件本身）都支持从EZ4读取（最受关注的就是Moonshell和DSOrganise）但是最新放出的FATlib还需要一些工作（去让他很好的运行）。许多自制软件不需要进行从microSD读或者要写入microSD就可以运行。事实上有些要比在M3上运行的还要好（M3被认为是自制软件兼容性之王）

GBA 
Note that despite the Compact having the GBA loader you won't be able to run any GBA. It will just result in a lockup -- go ahead... try it and see for yourself. The interface is basically the same exact one that was on the EZ Flash 3 cart. You start up to a splash screen and it checks to see if there is save data to save permanently and saves said save (say that 5x fast!). A couple seconds later you are sitting at a 'desktop' with wallpaper and 5 icons: My GBA, Text Saver, Minesweeper, Settings, and Help.  
 
GBA端  
注意，尽管CT有GBA的内核，但是不能运行任何GBA游戏。（如果你运行的话）结果就是锁定--- 将来，你自己尝试一下了。（EZ4的GBA）界面基本上和EZ3是一样的。启动的时候会有个对话框，检查是否有存档文件需要永久保存（Cloud920：后面木看明白）。几秒钟之后（Cloud920：作者说是2秒，我的经验是至少10秒以上），你就看到了有壁纸的桌面还有5个图标：我的GBA，书签，星雷，设置，帮助。    
 
My GBA is, of course, where your GBA games will be listed. When you first enter into My GBA it will show you "EZDisk" -- your microSD -- and the rest of the files listed will be what is stored in NOR memory. Since I am on the subject of NOR memory I will tell you what functions you can do with it. When you get your cart you should have a totally blank NOR chip (unless the mailman, UPS man, etc was playing with your kit before you got it -- it took a long time to come afterall) so let's start with how to add games to it. Go into EZDisk and highlight the game you want to transfer. Hit Select and A and the process will start. Now is a good time to let you know that it isn't going to be the fastest file copy. It will first erase the section of NOR that will be used (working at about 2Mbit/s -- .5MByte/s) and then it will copy the game @ ~1Mbit/s (.25MByte/s) so to put it into perspective it will take about 192s (3m 12s for the math challenged) to transfer a 32MByte game. So go have a smoke, hit the head, etc. when you are going to transfer a game. There are two benefits of storing GBA games on the NOR. Firstly, it lets you start up the game instantly without having to wait for it to transfer to RAM. Secondly, it lets you use a GBA game for game linking. Bear in mind that the game you want to use for game linking _must_ be the first game in the NOR memory or else it won't work. On previous versions of the EZ4 there was another benefit to storing GBA games on the NOR. You see, the earlier carts only had 16MByte of PSRAM so there was no way to run GBA games bigger than this without transferring them to the NOR memory. Now that the Deluxe has come along, this is no longer a problem since it has double the PSRAM of the predecessors and can handle any game that has been released for the GBA. This is especially useful now that there is game linking and the NOR will probably get erased a lot. When you do want to erase a game all you need to do is go into the top level of My GBA and select the last game on the list, hit Select then A. If you try to delete a game that isn't the last on the list all that will happen is the screen will refresh and go back to the top... But why? Well the NOR memory works with Last In, First Out functionality -- that is you can only remove games in the reverse order you put them on in. If this doesn't sound like a good method to getting rid of the games stored in NOR you can format it by hitting Start then A. Trust me -- this will save you tons of time when wanting to put (a) new game(s) on the NOR. It should also be noted here that the NOR has also been updated on the Deluxe version by adding an additional 50% to the 32MByte of the original versions of the EZ4 resulting in 48MByte of NOR. I'm not sure what the reasoning behind this is, but it means more GBA games that can be saved onto the NOR and it will free up that much more space on your microSD if you choose to use the NOR. And now onto the rest of My GBA... (Note that all of this applies to games stored on the NOR too.) Starting a game is trivial. All you need to do is highlight it and hit A. If you have enabled cheating then the menu will now show up and allow you to enable the cheats you want. Then, as if I had to tell you, the GBA game starts up and you play your heart out -- or shut off the system to try another game... WTF? I should also quickly note that you are able to view text files (*.txt, *.c/pp, *.html) by hitting A when they are highlighted. While viewing the text files you can hit Start to bring up the saver dialog which allows you to bookmark the current spot. You are also able to view pictures of various formats by hitting A on them (which is the extent of things you can do with the picture viewing).
