Hacking DsiXL only recognizes the cart 10% of the time.

[Man18]

It takes 5-15 tries to get it to load the Danny Phantom game, any suggestions on how to make it work from boot?

Paper trick?

 

[pcmanrules]

I've found mine almost always works compared to my other DS's. Paper trick should help.

Was your cart bought recently? I got mine in yesterday (HW81) and haven't had any issues on my XL. Was kinda surprised since I see people, like you, still having issues with bad contact.

 

[RupeeClock]

Yeah, try the paper trick. It seems like the card slot on the DSiXL is fractionally looser than on other systems, causing problems for the acekard.

 

[tk_saturn]

There's a 3rd paper trick in my Acekard guide which may work for the DSi XL, give it a go.

edit: I see you already have.

paper trick is a massive fail. the tape trick works perfectly though. im using duct tape and it works like a champ, going from paper, cardstock as well as others it failed a lot.... turns out you can pop it on the back and it works well too.

 

[gumbyx84]

Happy you got it working. Sucks that these cards have such problems. Very happy mine worked without issue. :hoping I didnt just jinks myself:

 

[Man18]

the cart worked like 50% of the time on the dsi now that i have the xl i had to do the duct tape mod but thankfully it works perfectly but i may want to find a tape that isnt as soft. i see it coming off over time which wont be a big deal but ya know

You probably won't find any tape that is "harder". The softness comes from the adhesive.

I concur. DSXL takes more tries than DSi.

Oh well.

I blame AKAIO. those fuckers can't make an operating system

You sir (or madam) are an idiot. The problems people have with the XL are related to contact issues, NOT software. Its been talked about 100 times on this forum and most have come to that conclusion.

Also, until you start making free firmware updates for a cart that has all but been abandoned by its manufacturer (updatet-wise), I suggest your keep your cocky comments to yourself.

 

[ShinyLatios]

mine also has problems, just reinsert and try again, and then NEVER take it out, unless you wanna put the SD in your computer!

You really don't know who Smiths is do you?

That really is the ultimate fail.

xD that was so funny i fell out of my chair

 

[gumbyx84]

Anyone going to tell me what I did that was so funny or am I just going to be pissed you are all laughing at me?

Edit: did my own research. So he has the right to complain. : shrugs: How the heck was I supposed to know he was part of AKAIO project?

Also, I'm a programmer by hobby, education, and now profession. I get pissed when people attack the developers, so when I see it happen I kinda snap.

im looking into medical tape it isnt as soft

 

[gumbyx84]

Didn't even think of medical tape. You might have to do multiple layers to get the thickness right though. Still recommend putting a piece of cardstock under the tape to "pad" it.
