I didn't have any issues with v2.00 either (apart from the game progress that I killed myself with my own stupidity, grrrr....). Also, there's an easier / faster way to 'fix' the SKY3DS in case of no games showing up or the LED blinking continuously. See my earlier post here.
Yup, that works for when the game doesn't show up. But in this case 2.00b8 was having formatting issues. It wouldn't even blink. And even if you switch around ROM sequence I couldn't get the cycle reset to work.
Reformatted and used 2.02b1 and now it works.
Worst case scenario is to go back to stable 1.06 and start all over again.
Oh, alright. So, if I am now on v2.00b, would you suggest I do the backup / restore routine again for 2.02b?
I would go ahead and load it up in 2.02b1. If you get any JIT errors or crash prompts. Close and backup again. Until you know you have a good backup of both GAMES and your SAVEDATA, then I would reformat using 2.02b1.
You shouldn't have too many issues if 2.00b8 was working for you. Otherwise, get rid of 2.00b8 and just use 2.02b1.
Hands down. Easiest answer. Move on with life...
But I do have concerns over how 2.00 was formatting. So to be safe, BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP, then follow reformatting instructions.
Be very careful that your mSD doesn't read as (FLOPPY DISK) in your partition software where it -SHOULD- say (MBR). That's a corrupt format. So go back to OP and be careful.

Did you use 2.00b8 at any point? If so, then your format of mSD is corrupt. This happened to me as well. Just because it works and is opening up in DW2.02 doesn't mean the mSD is formatted properly.
BACKUP GAMES
BACKUP SAVEDATA
Follow formatting instructions.
Use 2.02b1 to FORMAT with instead of 1.06.
Then restore all of the backups.
Aw, man... I had the same problem problem with the image names turning up instead of the game names. Now, I'm just writing back my backup in v2.02b (still running as write), and still, only image names show up. Any way to remedy this or is it the guessing game for me?

Okay, I fixed it by replacing the setting.ini with the one from SKY3DS provided for the most recent template. Judging from the contents of the (new) setting.ini I also know what went wrong here.
Anyways, is there any way to check if the MSD is good now? There are no JIT errors or other problems now.
Also, somewhat unrelated, but is there any way to make a better setting.ini? The naming now is somewhat inconsistent. And, there's also a bug in v2.02b. You can't restore saves to games in reserve, error message is 'Save is for a different game'. It works when you first put the game in the upper list, though.

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
