Hey All,

I just received a new DSTwo from Real Hot Stuff after the one I previously had stopped working completely after a month (it wouldn't show up on my 3DS screen at all). The replacement, which is running firmware 1.18, will only launch if I turn on my 3DS with the card in it, and select the card as soon as the menu will let me (Alex Rider icon). If I wait for the 3DS to finish loading all the icons from the SD card, or insert the supercard later, I get the dreaded "An error has occurred. Press and hold the power button to turn the system off" message. The oddest part is if I use the home button to get to the home menu after successfully loading the Supercard, the home menu thinks there's no card inserted.

I've tried two different Micro-SD cards and reformatted them both with sdformatter, re-copied EOS, and tried installing today's firmware 1.19 (and downgrading back to 1.18 when nothing changed). Nothing seems to make a difference. My 3DS is on firmware 4.4.0, and works fine with an R4i Gold 3DS. I never experienced this on my previous Supercard, although admittedly I can still use this one so it's not a dealbreaker. It's just weird. I unfortunately don't have a different DS to try, I'm curious to see what would happen.

Any ideas what's happening, or what I could try to fix it?

Why would you downgrade back to 1.18 if nothing changed?
I hoped that reinstalling the firmware would fix something, and thought maybe there was a bug in 1.19 because it just came out. I did some of this debugging while I was still trying to figure out what the problem was and wasn't sure why I could sometimes get it to work and other times not.

I just got a dstwo earlier this week and I'm having the same thing happen. If I use it, then exit back to 3ds' home screen it will throw an error next time I try to use it. Unless I turn the 3ds on and off. Also if i just exit out from the error message it won't the cart won't show up on the 3ds, as if it's not physically loaded in the back of my system.

Using the newest(today's) dstwo patch, 3ds is on 4.4

Haven't messed with it due to time constraints, will be watching this thread.

My supercard wouldn't show up at all when I first got it but taking it apart and putting it back together got it to work.

I've got 2 dstwo cards, mine is 2 and a half years old and my g/f's is 2 months old and have just updated to 4.5.0-10 update and no issues with it. Runs normally and haven't got the issues your stating. Maybe it's the type of microcard your using or dirty contacts

    What's the point of "confirming" games you know will get released. Like Nintendo "confirming" a Zelda sequel. "We can't be sure Nintendo is working on a new Zelda game, or if a new Zelda game will ever be released, until they officially confirm it."
  • Veho @ Veho:
    "There is literally no way to know if they will ever release a new Zelda game, it's wild speculation until they officially confirm it."
