So I'm trying to make my girlfriends DSTT card work, I have no idea if it's legit or not but I bought a new sd card to try it with. I downloaded the right files for ds lite from the DSTT site and formatted the sd card to fat32, but it doesn't detect it and just displays the home screen. The sd card is pretty high capacity, is this the issue? I have attached some images of the DSTT card and the sd card (I can't add links yet so here is the name of the sd card: "samsung 128gb pro plus micro sd card".
Trouble with making a legit (I think) DSTT card work on DS Lite!

I'll try that later today, wouldn't a ds lite have trouble with a 128gb card though because ds lite is old or something?
128GB cards should(tm) work with DSTT cards if they are formatted as FAT32. You'll have to see that tho.
However, your issue is not related to that. You would be able to start the card and it would show something like "menu?" if it couldn't read the SD. However, you can't see the card in the menu. That means that it's either a connection problem between DS and the DSTT or the DSTT is broken.
I tried cleaning the contacts but it didn't do anything, the contacts were a bit hard to acces though with a cotton swab, maybe i'll give it a second cleaning but I'm thinking it's dead. Her ds works fine though with normal ds cards and even with my r4card. Thanks for the messages though, btw if I try cleaning it again, how would you recommend me doing that with IPA?
You can try to push the card in the slot to the limit, and boot th DS while still holding it up. That should make it work if the thing was in a bad contacts

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
