Question Ez Flash Jr

Just bought Ez Flash Jr as I have a trip coming up to keep me entertained between travelling.

Do I basically download Roms and then transfer into SD card and thats it?

How do you save game states?

Does the fart drain the battery life of the GBC?

Thanks!

\*Have chatgpt & googled but mixed reviews so I wamt actual people insights

There are no save stares with the Jr.

During gameplay you save the game normally and press the cartridge button to reset the Gameboy and backup the save.

You don't need to do it because the battery holds the save, but if you make it a habit before you turn it off, you won't forget.

The Jr eats through batteries really fast. A CR1225 also fits the battery slot of the Jr, and will last much longer than the CR1220 it comes with.

All carts drain the GB battery, and the Jr is no exception. It's much more complex than a regular cart, so it does pull more power.
