# EZ-FLASH | ||
|
||
The [EZ-FLASH](https://www.ezflash.cn/) flash carts for Nintendo handhelds are a cheaper alternative to other flash carts such as the [EverDrive](everdrive.md). | ||
|
||
## ROMs | ||
|
||
Because flash carts are specific to a specific console, you can provide specific input directories & [DATs](../../dats/overview.md) when you run `igir`. For example: | ||
|
||
=== ":simple-windowsxp: Windows" | ||
|
||
Replace the `E:\` drive letter with wherever your SD card is: | ||
|
||
```batch | ||
igir copy extract test clean ^ | ||
--dat "Nintendo - Game Boy.dat" ^ | ||
--input "ROMs-Sorted\Nintendo - Game Boy" ^ | ||
--output E:\ ^ | ||
--no-bios | ||
``` | ||
|
||
=== ":simple-apple: macOS" | ||
|
||
Replace the `/Volumes/EZFLASH` drive name with whatever your SD card is named: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
igir copy extract test clean \ | ||
--dat "Nintendo - Game Boy.dat" \ | ||
--input "ROMs-Sorted/Nintendo - Game Boy" \ | ||
--output /Volumes/EZFLASH/ \ | ||
--no-bios | ||
``` | ||
|
||
=== ":simple-linux: Linux" | ||
|
||
Replace the `/media/EZFLASH` path with wherever your SD card is mounted: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
igir copy extract test clean \ | ||
--dat "Nintendo - Game Boy.dat" \ | ||
--input "ROMs-Sorted/Nintendo - Game Boy" \ | ||
--output /media/EZFLASH/ \ | ||
--no-bios | ||
``` | ||
|
||
you can then add some other output options such as `--dir-letter`, if desired. | ||
|
||
!!! warning | ||
|
||
The EZ-FLASH appears to have issues with fragmented files, in the same way that [GameCube's Swiss](../console/gamecube.md) and [PS2's OPL](../console/ps2.md) does ([igir#802](https://github.com/emmercm/igir/discussions/802#discussioncomment-7606831)). | ||
|
||
You may need to set the option `--writer-threads 1` to fix any issues with your specific model. | ||
|
||
Even though [Hardware Target Game Database](https://github.com/frederic-mahe/Hardware-Target-Game-Database) uses the word "EverDrive" in their database files, there is no reason you can't use them with other flash carts such as the EZ-FLASH. See an example usage of them in the [EverDrive](everdrive.md) documentation. |
