I have a DSTwo Plus with the latest firmware on it (I just bought it) from the Supercard website. v1.14.

I have a DSi with v.1.4.
- The DSTwo+ works.

I also have a DSi XL with 1.4.5.
- The DSTwo+ does not work. It is detected as the correct game, but when I launch it, I get the ever-known "An error has occurred" and tells me to turn off the DS.

I had done what I thought was a lot of reading and comparing before I bought the DSTwo+. It's my understanding that it is compatible with 1.4.5. Did I get the wrong impression during my research, or do I need to do something else?

I thought it was working... because it loaded once. But not after power cycling.

I'm not sure how to tackle this. It's quite weird.

What I did before:
- Unzipped the 1.4.5 patch. It placed itself into a _dstwo folder.
- I wasn't sure what to do with it, so I merely placed it in the root of the SD card named _dstwo 2.
- The DSTwo+ was detected and launched.
Then it was rebooted and it just errors out now.

What I've done:
- Slow reformat with Panasonic's SDFormatter utility.
- Formatted the DSi system software
- Copied the _dstwo system folder by itself. No improvement.
- Copied the _dstwo 2 folder as before. No improvement.
- I realized the files system1.dat and system11.dat in the patch are in the _dstwo folder, so I copied patched ones over the originals. No improvement.

I'm at a loss. I seem to have replicated everything the way it was when it worked once before power cycling the DSi.

Suggestions would be great. :)

Did you manage to fix it? I had the DSTwo+ working fine, then I updated the DSi XL to 1.4.5u, and it wont work anymore.
Same thing, it detects the flashcard but when I try to launch it, "An error has occured."

Does anyone have a solution?

You can update the DSTWO while it's blocked.
Indeed.
@Merlow
To do that you'll need to rename "dstwoupdate.dat" to "dstwoupdateb.dat"
Then launch the card and leave it on the "an error has occurred" screen for a few minutes, give it 10 minutes just to be sure. The cart will update in the background.

It's funny how it first were two minutes, then five and now ten :D

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Toxic pills are best
