Hacking compability list?

[smartinez281]

I love my dstwo card so far, but I have a question. I noticed that some of the backup nds games I put on it (metroid prime hunters for example) does not boot the game and just goes to a white screen on both screens.
Is there a list of roms that the card supports? Could it be just a bad rom dump?
I am using a 3ds xl if that makes a difference.

How did you dump the game? (I should hope you dumped it yourself)

Not going to lie, I didn't. I have the physicsl game, but I understand that on the internet that is highly believable lol.I got it from a site, but that same site has other nds roms that I used and they work fine.

It could be a bad dump, it could be incompatible (region or card-wise), or it could need an anti-piracy patch. I'd get a different dump, and try to get a different scene release too.

Try to verify the rom with this: http://www.ds-scene.net/?s=viewtopic&nid=11056
It is possible to dump yourself over wifi if you have a DS phat or lite, but that can take over 12 hours and can leave some bytes missing at the end, easy enough to add back though.

The problem lies with your rom not the DSTWO.
Unless you aren't using the latest EOS.
Even then it is still unlikely since this game probably was already supported since the 1st version of EOS.

The DSTwo has over 99% compatibility (rarely does it not run a game).

It's usually other issues, like a bad MicroSD or something.
