Hardware 3DS Reads 3ds games but not ds games

[Adeka]

So I got a bargain deal on a 3ds marked as "broken" running 4.5.0_09U. The damn thing wont read ds games. Including flashcarts and actual cartridges. Yet it reads 3ds games just fine. I shined a flashlight in the cartridge slot and everything looks fine.

I've already installed a9lh on it but I would still like it to read my ds carts. Anyone got any ideas?

shouldn't TWL have been upgraded upon him going from 4.5 to 11?

Try downloading the latest TWL and install it manually .

no luck with it. They still don't show up.

have you tried playing DS games before installing a9lh? my guess it has nothing to do with the mod, if you can't see anything else wrong with it - not reading DS games is probably the reason it was marked as broken

Maybe this is dumb but did you try the paper trick with DS games?

I had not tried it but it did fix the issue,thanks

although ALWAYS needing paper for a ds game is pretty annoying

it did work. Although i've never heard of a 3ds with contact issues with all ds games. Pretty bizarre but at least its fixed

Well they do have different sizes maybe the game reader is out of position internally.
