Your DSTT Menu and Menu folder aren't on the card properly.

Reformat and try again.


Cheers,

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.

Sounds like you probably blew the fuse with a misaligned cart when you put it back together, or the cart be faulty.

Slap some solder across the f2 fuse on the ds board.....errr I mean replace the fuse with the correctly rated component
