EZ-FLASH OMEGA Definitive Edition Power Usage (And Other Flash Carts Too!)
Channel: makho
Date: 2021-01-11

I got my hands on a pre-release version of the new EZ-FLASH OMEGA Definitive Edition flash cart. This cart will be releasing very soon and you can see a full list of the new features by checking out the official manual here: https://www.ezflash.cn/omegade-en.pdf

Again, do note that the cart shown in the video is running pre-release software. Further optimizations may be made in the firmware after release but this should still be a good representation of things as they will be. The hardware I have should be the final version.

Please see the spreadsheet I compiled for product links and all the values I measured: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1baIDOZlUjERhOsmc5Uexz-6v63oGIfMhQQ3zYBDSzL8/edit?usp=sharing

Test hardware has been modified to eliminate several variables by bypassing the volume wheel and setting the console to max volume always, bypassing the power switch with a soft-latching variant to rule out any contaminants in the power switch, and by using soldered on power leads to rule out any dirty battery connections. Tests are all carried out at 3 volts and estimates in the spreadsheet are assuming linear power consumption. As the battery voltage decreases, the system power regulators may be more or less (likely less) efficient and power usage may increase disproportionately for the more power hungry carts.
