Hacking Anyone else having major problems?

[Originality]

What I did is when the cinematic started, I opened it for a second, closed for a second. Quite slowly in fact, a second each way. Don't do it too fast or you'll get tired and likely break your DS from overhandling it. And if you really wanted to see what the opening looks like, use YouN00b. If you fail, try again. Don't worry, it won't take too long, and you'll know by the music when it's ended.

Hy guys! I have a frikkin' major problem!

Yesterday I was playing my DS, with M3 Real and Sakura (1.11) firmware. I wanted to start Starfox Command, but after the loading screen, there was only two black screens. I turn off and on my DS. But the M3 Real didn't boot! Only the M3 Real logo was on the lower left corner of the touch screen. I turned off my DS again, and took the MicroSD card (2GB Class2 Kingston, Japan) out, and tried to plug it into my laptop. I'm using the microSD-SD adapter which came with mycard (I have an SD card slot built in the laptop), and after I plugged it in, came the first surprise: it could't read the card! It says, that there's no card, and because of this, I can't format the card either! i tried it with the card reader that came with my M3 Real, but I've got the same result. I tried it on another computer, but nothing's there, either. I tried another microSD card (the same type like the another) of mine, and it work fine with all 3 devices (card reader, card adapter, M3Real). So the only option is, that the microSD has been screwed by my flashcart.

Did anyone met with this problem too? Is there anything, I can do, to revive my microSD card (all my saves, grrrrr...)? I'm so angry, and the card was only a 3 weeks old...

Help!

MicroSD's cards and just about every other kind of flash media will stop working after a certain amount of read and write cycles

though you might have also have gotten a fake MicroSD card, thats also an possibility since its not that old at all

Might be stating the obvious, but have you checked the contacts on the card to make sure they're clean? Also, have you tried plugging it into another device, like a digital camera or a mobile phone to see if they detect it at all? Not much more advice I can give other than that...

I don't have a digital camera, but I did put it into my Wii, and it says in the Photo Channel, that "This card can not be used".

All the contacts are super clean, and as I said, it was perfectly functioning until I started SF Command, so I don't think corrosion is the fault.

Maybe the Sakura firmware or the M3Real is the guilty?

could be some heavy filesystem corruption
in that case your only solution is formatting it with a phone.

No use, I tried it in my friend's PDA, and same result: no lifesigns from the card....

If you are having trouble with TWEWY and if you have sakura make sure in settings download play is set to enable it fixed it for mine

 

[gcleech]

Same happened to me.

Only way to revive it for me was using "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" and format the damn sd-card

Thanks for the hint, but the program says "There's no media in the selected drive".

Gee, now I'm getting angry....

So the only way to fix this problem is to upgrade to Sakura? It's worth a shot.

 

[MH_X7]

Holy ****, upgrading to Sakura did fix the glitch not to mention that Sakura itself is tight.

 

[Zozzy]

Okay, that's it. I give up. Enough. Guess what happened? Hell, yeah....

MY MICROSD'S BEEN BRICKED AGAIN!

It was the same type of card like the other one, except I was using not Sakura, but the latest M3DS Real firmware. 5 minutes ago it worked perfectly, just finished Phoenx Wright: Ace Attorney's 4th chapter. Then I wanted to copy some music onto mí crad, so, i put it in, select files, click on copy, etc... But while it was copying, a bubble showed up, saying something about "The delayed writing has failed..." or something, then Total Commander says there's no media in drive F:\ (that's my built-in card reader). The situation is the same: can't read it, can't format it, M3DS Real doesn't boot, so I'm angry. I hate Kingston.

 

[thedicemaster]

hm, could be your cardreader died while writing the file.
that's kinda how it happened with my cardreader.

 

[elenar]

I would lay the blame on your internal card reader. The USB internal connections could be shorted, the device itself could be damaged, etc. New card, use different read/writer.

Yeah, that' waht I was thinking about too, but the reader is still functional so, I don't know. I've heard rumors that the TransFlash card reader that comes with the M3 Real can brick the card too. Opinions?

 

[Joe88]

usually they just break after a certain about of uses
but yes they can corrupt your card
