Hacking DSTwo+ on DSi XL help

[Tedium88]

So, I have a DSi XL running 1.4.5U software. If I put the 1.14 EOS on my micro SD and boot up and launch the game, I get a black top screen, and a black bottom screen with the current date and "DS_GAME" displayed, but nothing happens if I select it. I tried 1.11 and 1.09 EOS (doing a clean reformat with the SD Formatter in between each) and all I get is a black bottom screen and a blue top screen that says "NO FIND SYSTEM FILES." What am I doing wrong? Everything I can find online says the card should work with a DSi XL running 1.4.5 software, so am I just missing files on my micro SD? Is my flashcart damaged?

May I see a picture of the contents of your micro SD?

Right now, all I have is the 1.14 EOS and the 1.25 firmware update: http://imgur.com/GMSigzZ

This http://i.imgur.com/sfCGu0I.jpg is all I see. I can press A and it'll blink but do nothing, or I can arrow left/right through about 3-4 blank slots where only the date is displayed before cycling back to DS_GAME but that's it

I believe you are missing something. Are you sure you downloaded ALL the files

If you mean extracted all files from the .Zip onto the micro SD, then yes.

 

[Zaphod77]

did you extract with full paths?

what is the size of y9our sdcard?

what is the size of y9our sdcard?

The only path is the _dstwo folder, what other path is there to mess up? And it's an 8gb SanDisk SDHC class 4, formatted FAT32

Hello, I have the exact same problem but with 1.4e firmware.

I have tried with several different microsd's and eos version and the same card with the same sd works in a ds lite but not in the DSi XL.

(and hello from the supercard forums, hope someone find a fix.)

That sounds like you have to upgrade the firmware of your flashcard. Either run the .nds update file supercard released or use an older dstwoupdate.dat.

Thank you for your response.

I have tried updating the firmware several times with different .dat files but it doesn't do anything (I put the .dat in the root of the sd with a clean eos).
And about the .nds file you mention, I haven't seen it. Could you give me more information about it?

And thanks again, it's been weeks since I have the card and I can't use it correctly.

EDIT: I have find the .nds update and it says "no need to update", so, my card is in the last firmware, but the DSi XL still doesn't recognize it. Help please.

It doesn't recognize it at all? In that case it's most likely a contact problem.

It does recognize it, but when it loads the plugin menu it's only partially loaded, with black backgrounds and the date and "DS_GAME" in white letters. And I can't choose anything.
I have read about downgrading it, but every time I try an update file it doesn't do anything.

I don't know what to do. Any recommendation?

The card works if you get to the menu. It would display no cartridge or "an error occured" if there was such a problem. Can you try another SD card?

I have tried with 3 different sd cards, each one works perfect in the ds lite, but gives that problem on the DSi.

Can you clean the contacts of the DSTWO?

I have cleaned the contacts of the dstwo (with alcohol), and partially the contacts of the DSi (because of how difficult it is without taking it apart), and it didnt make any difference.

This is what the DSi shows:

Sorry, I've never heared of this issue and I can't think of a likely reason for it to happen.

OP here, I contacted the seller and basically the card I had was damaged. I sent it back and got a new one today and it works perfectly.
