Hacking DSTWO+ fail to run on New 3DS LL 11.13.0

[Firefox2100]

Recently I bought a DSTWO Plus from a second-hand dealer, and it's in pretty good condition. However, when pluged into my New 3DS LL with B9S and 11.13.0 firmware, it wasn't recognized. I used R4 card before, and everything functions normally. I borrowed my friend's NDS to see if there's something wrong with the DSTWO+, and it functioned normally as well. But somehow I can't get the 3DS to recognize and boot up the DSTWO card. Has anybody ever used this type of flash card on 11.13.0? I'm open for any suggestion or thoughts right now....

As a preface, I must say I have only have experience with an R4 card and a Sky3DS card.

Am I correct in understanding you have
(i) used the DSTWO card in another 3DS and it works well, and
(ii) you have used the slot of your own 3DS to read an R4 card and it functions properly as well?

If so, it seems there is something specifically colliding between your 3DS and the DSTWO card.

A certain batch of DSTWO exhibited issues similar to those from contact issues (failing to be recognized, failing to boot or failing to boot games), but the usual solutions for contact issues (putting paper behind the PCB to force the contacts closer to the pins in the slot and similar) did not seem to help IIRC. You might be one of the unlucky ones with that batch. You could try putting paper behind the PCB like mentioned, or a sheet of paper (or two) along the front of the cart as you insert it into the slot (just don't get the paper stuck in there, make sure to leave a bit sticking out to pull on)

The second one is yes, and the first one is not exactly. I only tried it on another NDS instead of 3DS. Could this be a kernel issue? Like, 11.13.0 is not supported currently for DSTWO flash cards? I'm still trying to figure out the current development state of the DSTWO+ flash cards, is there anyone succeeded in using DSTWO + on a 3DS console with 11.13.0 firmware? There might be something system-specific that I'm missing. And thank you for your reply!

I tried that actually, and also tried to clean the slot and the card. But unfortunately, I'm still unable to get the DSTWO working on my console. I'll see if I can use something else to help with the contact. Thank you for your suggestion!
