hi when i turn my ds on with dstt inserted the dstt loading logo comes on in black then a few seconds later turns red less then a second and fails to load, is this a faulty card or a clone thanks for any help
If you think your DSTT might have been affected by the fake-killer code, you'll have to restore it before you do anything else. Grab this archive and follow the directions in the readme file: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=4086
If you've never made it to the menu, you may have the menu installed incorrectly. In that case, follow these directions:[*]Use the Panasonic formatter to reformat your microSD card: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/d..._formatter.html[*]Grab the official 1.17 menu from here (but do NOT install TTMENU.DAT from it as it contains the fake-killer code!!!): http://www.ndstt.com/download.html[*]Copy the TTMENU folder (but not TTMENU.DAT) from the official firmware to your microSD card.[*]Grab this archive: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=4086[*]Copy TTMENU.DAT from the archive to your microSD card (that version has the fake-killer code disabled). Optional: copy DsttFlashChecker.nds to your microSD card.[*]Make a folder named "games" on your microSD card. Copy 2 or 3 games (.nds files) to the new "games" folder.[*]Run "safely remove hardware", select your microSD reader in the list, and press STOP before removing your microSD card from your PC.[*]Insert your DSTT into the NDS. Insert your microSD card into the DSTT. Turn on the NDS.[*]You should see a menu with your games and the DsttFlashChecker program listed (if you installed it). You can run DsttFlashChecker if you installed it to see if you have a real or a fake DSTT.[*]You should be able to run your games now. Always keep the following in mind:
Always leave some free space on your microSD card for save files and system files.
Always put games into your "games" folder. Also, put homebrew into a folder. Leave as few files as possible on the root of your microSD card.
Always use "safely remove hardware" to remove your microSD card from your PC.
Use the Panasonic formatter if you ever have to reformat.
Make sure you don't use the official TTMENU.DAT (particularly if you have a fake) because it contains fake-killer code.
thanks for the replys especially the detailed idiot proof one from bri, belive me i need it that way cheers, have managed to open dstt without breaking it and as far as i can see looks like a real one , have reinstalled dstt menu and will try that to , just my ds has now packed up, not having to much luck here but thanks again

Or when your player dies, you can say in code, if enemy exists, do nothing, but if enemy does not exist, then create enemy at certain spot. (This would be a pain tho for lots of emeies)
