Hello everyone. I was lazily playing a dsiware game (launched via TWL++ from SD slot) on my faithful DSi and suddenly it freezes for no apparent reason. I reset the console by returning to the DSi menu, but selecting Flipnote does not detect the presence of the SD card (precisely micro SD + adapter). Even through the camera software results in the absence of the SD card. I turn off the console, remove and put back the SD card several times, reset several times, and try again, but the DSi will not read the card.
At this point I fear the worst; that the entire SD card is corrupted!
I insert it into the SD-reader and plug the latter into the PC but, to my surprise, the data is intact and everything is fine.
It immediately occurs to me that it is a contact problem in the DSi's slot, so I replace the adapter with a newer Sandisk one, insert the micro SD into it, and put it in the DSi's slot; et voila, the console magically goes back to reading the SD without any problems. For this time, happy ending.
There remains the unsolved mystery of how, without apparent cause, without having taken any knocks or jolts, the console stopped recognizing the previous adapter while recognizing this seemingly identical one with no problems. Out of curiosity, has this ever happened to any of you?
