ModChipsDirect is a scam, so everyone knows.

I told you exactly where the info is. It is two clicks away. Two clicks? That's much less than the fifty or so keypresses you just did.

If you don't want to know what the problem is, and prefer to pretend that Random Internet Vendor is the Second Coming, fine. But how about you stop spamming a thread that is trying to help people with your self-focused nonsense?

This thread is trying to help people? You are attacking everyone who wants the info... And you could have given us the info on the start when we first asked for it. Instead, you are just arguing how we can find it.

P.S.: I also bought from them with no problem at all.

The number of clicks isn't the problem. Your attitude is the problem. Despite the fact I really shouldn't indulge your entitled whining, I checked your thread. It sounds like a pretty simple to diagnose issue, and might not even be a bad R4, but with your attitude, I'm not sure I actually want to help you.

trying to help people

Where were you doing that?

with your self-focused nonsense?

Mr. Pot, you shouldn't be calling Mr. Kettle black. That's not very nice (and it's also racist).

I've posted like five times, ever, outside this thread. It's literally easier for you to find the relevant post than it is for you to post these useless spam responses.

But you won't bother, because you want me to copy and paste the whole thing for you or something. Talk about entitled.

So all those ordering and unboxing threads talking about how great a certain vendor is are actually off-topic and belong in blogs. I see.

I trust you complain about all of them, too. Despite none of them having any negative comments.

I've PM'd you a fix for your card. Those cards are seriously trash for anything but NTRBoot.

The only useful thing here (probably actually how to fix it) and you PM it instead of posting the solution here that the thread can actually help someone at the end. Why?

Ordered from ModChipsDirect numerous times with NOT one issue.

Because the thread is full of people who want to dogpile me for daring to say a bad word about their fave vendor, probably.

Also, the fix is the same one MCD sent in the email. Which didn't work.

I would love to hear @ModChipsDirect 's version of this story. I'm sure it's just as juicy as the last guy that was screaming "SCAM"

Oh, if they reply, I'd love that.

Maybe they'll actually replace this junk card, like their site says they do.

True, because you constantly post sh!t here.
We don't care what you say about them, as long as you give us info, which you didn't.

TIL posting fewer than 10 times in several months is "constantly."

Are you even trying to be coherent, or are you just slinging shit and hoping it'll stick?

by here I mean this thread and this thread only.
I am hoping for the f*cking info in order to be coherent.

There, I saved you one click and some scrolling. No, I am not copy-pasting everything relevant.

 

[M7L7NK7]

You gotta realise no one cares enough to go through your post history to find something you should have posted when you referenced it? Thanks for posting it eventually

You finally did what we asked from the beginning

So, have you tried putting a piece of paper under it for better contact? Have you tried NTRBoot mode again? Have you tried any other kernels? Can you try it on a different system? How are you launching it?

 

[Ericthegreat]

You can check my posting history and find that I got a dysfunctional card? It was from them.

So, here's the details:

1. It came without original packaging, stuffed haphazardly in a plastic bag and shipped that way.
2. I contacted them about it not working. They responded once, giving me some "tip" on how to work around it (because the defective product they sell should be my problem, apparently).
3. Their tip didn't work. It may have actually made the problem worse. Of course, when I got in touch with them again, they're dead silent, and will not respond (been a week and a half now).
4. They do, in fact, have a replacement policy. This is a lie. If they send you broken junk, they're not going to replace it.

Also, as a note, another site I tried to post about this on almost immediately deleted my post. Hopefully, GBAtemp isn't scummy like that.

A lot of ppl use them, perhaps try and contact them again, or try and get a phone number.

 

[lukands]

So you have posted your experience with this online store. Now why not move on with life? You took a chance with buying a grey market pirating device, it allegedly didn`t work out for you, lesson learned!

 

[cihalfaon]

Yes, yes, yes, not at the moment, literally just through the normal menu on a New 3DS XL.

Edit: Said New 3DS XL has been reformatted, region changed (to J), and reformatted again. All along the way, same problem with the card.

I'm fairly certain at this point that any possible software issues have been ruled out.

 

[Fragma]

To be honest, no matter the attitude if the vendor has a replacement policy, they should honor it. If you can't deal with moody clients then I'm not sure you can be considered a serious, and therefore reliable business.

 

[tbb043]

Funny how no other resellers had issues with "customs" and managed to get the product to customers in it's correct packaging! I'm sure customs is more worried about grey market stuff to copy video games than illicit drug deals... NOT
