I have an original fat DS. For a while now, my EZ-Flash Vi isn't being read in my DS. It worked for a long time, but then suddenly stopped. I don't know much about flashcards so I don't know how to fix it, or if it's even fixable.

I would appreciate any help!

Assuming you were not trying to update it or something like that the usual cause for this is contact issues- clean the contacts on the EZ5i and if you can your DS as well (cotton bud/qtip and some alcohol or cleaning solution for the things you can find around the house).

EDIT: I think you're right about the contacts in the card. I tried cleaning it, but no luck. Is it possible to be internal?

    True. I stick with the easy to mod revisions.
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    Most of the ones around here as of the last few years I would have to be there at 6am, muscling people as they are dragging things from their boot, skipping rows as the parade of kids looking up things on CEX roves just behind me
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    CEX has to be the worst place to buy consoles imho, too overpriced in there.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I think the whole overpricing bullshit has to do with the pandemic of all things, or has it always been like that?
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    Since Game squashed gamestation and themselves went pop or new games only they are the only place around save for a few independent pawn shops
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I've bought a PS3 for 45 quid before they went up in CEX.
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    scalpers really profited lol
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    Actually I lie. Occasionally Cash Converters has something
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @FAST6191, You get a lot more when you sell over there.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @ZeroT21, Unfortunately true.
  • FAST6191 @ FAST6191:
    As far as PS3s go then I think that might be more things going retro quicker than we were maybe used to coming up in earlier times
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Ngl I was gonna sell a fake Pokémon GBA game in CEX since there were plenty of fakes, that was until they start taking apart cartridges and comparing the PCB to an original.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Could've gotten a lot of money for that. Lol.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I don't often use my PS3, I'm probably gonna sell it. Its already been modded with Rebug CFW.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    :unsure: At what price?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    got a lot of cheap stuff on fb marketplace
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    my best recent purchase was medabots for gba for 4€
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Which one are you referring to? The GBA game or the PS3?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    rokusho versoin, the godly rpg one
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    i still have mine in the closet, played once
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Usually the Pokemon GBA games go for a lot, roughly 40-80 £.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, PS3 was £45.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    For that same model 40GB, you're paying £55 in today.
