Edit: NVM, just googled it and it's not on osx. Go to Applications->Utilities->System profiler and see if you can see the EMS cart listed.

Isn't there anything I could do?

Hey, question here.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I've compiled it using gcc and installed libusb. I have the flasher running fine, but when I try to read or write anything it gives me the 'could not find/open device, is it plugged in?' error. When I run lsusb from the terminal I can see that the bus recognizes the cart as EMS Production Game Cube USB Memory Adaptor 64M and it's on bus 004 device 008.

So what's the deal? Why can the system see it but the flasher can't? Am I overlooking something obvious?

Sorry to bump an old thread but I've got the same issue. I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.2 btw.
I followed Chainsaw Police's tutorial and was able to flash a game (Sword of Hope II ftw) just to try it out.
It seemed to be working, but a couple of minutes later the gb froze, and now when the cart is inserted only a blank screen is shown, either on a DMG, GBC and GBASP.
Also, when trying to flash something, the terminal just says "Could not find/open device, is it plugged in?"
Funny thing is, I can see the little green light for some time when I plug the USB in the computer, but some times it goes off, some times it stays on.

Have I done something wrong or is it just that I got a faulty cart?

When its plugged in to a rev.B Pi directly, the cart works. However it is janky when I plug it in to a powered USB hub, oftentimes I can't initialize anything. My Pi seems to have a number of USB related issues though, I had to switch out two or three very generic USB keyboards to find one that would work.

Have anyone ever tried building this on an ARM Linux platform?  I'll try that tomorrow and report back, it'd be great to have this on the raspberry pi project.  You could even set up an auto-restore function for those times when a cartridge crashes and corrupts data; just plug the cart into the RasPi and it'll automatically restore a preconfigured sav.

Wow, that's a really cool idea

I'm reluctant to call it bug-free, but it's been in use for years without any major issues (as far as I know).

FUN TIP FOR LINUX USERS

open a terminal,
cd to the directory with the ems-flasher executable
sudo cp ems-flasher /usr/bin

now you can run the EMS Flasher just by running 'ems-flasher <args>' from any terminal, instead of cding to the proper directory and running './ems-flasher <args>'

D'oh! Can't believe I forgot an install target in the Makefile. I just pushed a fix into git, and it will be in the next tarball.

If you pull from git, after you make you can now sudo make install
