Hacking DSTwo Plus works on one DSi, but not the other DSi.

[watts300]

I have a DSTwo Plus with the latest firmware on it (I just bought it) from the Supercard website. v1.14.

I have a DSi with v.1.4.
- The DSTwo+ works.

I also have a DSi XL with 1.4.5.
- The DSTwo+ does not work. It is detected as the correct game, but when I launch it, I get the ever-known "An error has occurred" and tells me to turn off the DS.

I had done what I thought was a lot of reading and comparing before I bought the DSTwo+. It's my understanding that it is compatible with 1.4.5. Did I get the wrong impression during my research, or do I need to do something else?

I thought it was working... because it loaded once. But not after power cycling.

I'm not sure how to tackle this. It's quite weird.

What I did before:
- Unzipped the 1.4.5 patch. It placed itself into a _dstwo folder.
- I wasn't sure what to do with it, so I merely placed it in the root of the SD card named _dstwo 2.
- The DSTwo+ was detected and launched.
Then it was rebooted and it just errors out now.

What I've done:
- Slow reformat with Panasonic's SDFormatter utility.
- Formatted the DSi system software
- Copied the _dstwo system folder by itself. No improvement.
- Copied the _dstwo 2 folder as before. No improvement.
- I realized the files system1.dat and system11.dat in the patch are in the _dstwo folder, so I copied patched ones over the originals. No improvement.

I'm at a loss. I seem to have replicated everything the way it was when it worked once before power cycling the DSi.

Suggestions would be great.

You can try to update the dstwo with the console that it works on. If it still doesn't work it should be a contact issue.

Did you manage to fix it? I had the DSTwo+ working fine, then I updated the DSi XL to 1.4.5u, and it wont work anymore.
Same thing, it detects the flashcard but when I try to launch it, "An error has occured."

Does anyone have a solution?

If it says an error has occurred, it's not properly updated. Find another console thst runs it and update it.

Damn, hard to find another one here. Will try, thanks.

You can update the DSTWO while it's blocked.

Indeed.
@Merlow
To do that you'll need to rename "dstwoupdate.dat" to "dstwoupdateb.dat"
Then launch the card and leave it on the "an error has occurred" screen for a few minutes, give it 10 minutes just to be sure. The cart will update in the background.

It's funny how it first were two minutes, then five and now ten
