So are the issues with Fire Emblem save related or gameplay freezing related? The other four games I don't really care about, but Fire Emblem is one of the games on my must play list. Another thing I'm curious about is whether most of these faulty cards are coming from the same reseller. Ideally this is a problem only effecting people buying from a certain store or two. I think I might wait until an SD based exploit is released. Then we don't have to worry about the possibility of a faulty card ruining gameplay experiences. Hopefully we get one before the end of the year.

my game and system in general have frozen quite a few times, it's normally when i switch from game -> another application or vice versa. Not too big of a deal. My GAMEs themselves have only actually frozen once, so overall i'm not too fussed
Those are games that people having problem on save game.
The interesting part of the whole thing is not everyone is reporting a save corruption on these games.
Only some players are reporting. The disturbing part is it happens after days or hours of playing.
Symptom of a faulty red card, you will usually get a freeze or being boot out from game follow with an error message
-Loading the game
-Creating a system save or save
-Cut scene
-First 3-5 minutes randomly in the game
Before determine you have a faulty red card try these steps
Step 1
-Make sure your microSD card is at least class 4 to class 10, get a branded microSD not clone/brandless
-Format your microSD card and rewrite the rom to your microSD card.
-Clean the contact of the red card with alcohol / insert and reject the red card a few times
Step2
-If freeze still occur then try download the rom from another source.
-Check whether the freeze also happens on other game.
-Try it on another microSD card (prefer different brand/class)
Step 3
-Ask for a refund / exchange
Agree, having same problem!
I realised i will always get a freeze when going into my Camera.
This only happens after i used the blue card exploit.

Got the same problem with mario kart 7. I tested about 8 games and all worked except mario kart.
I played the first 3 cups but for the further cups (the 4. And 5.) I get a black with the warning to press the power button and shut down the system.
It was mario kart 7 EU version from *snip*. i tried several microSD, class 10. I formatted the system too, but without any success.
Can someone help?
This shit. I love mario kart. Better any other game would not work.

Speaking of memory cards, have we any idea what the ideal class of card would be?
For the majority of games on the DS the speed doesn't matter, but I remember Strange Journey constantly freezing on class 6 cards yet running fine on a class 4.
Mat xD If you have one avaliable, try it on a slower speed card.
Edit - I've ordered one yesterday, so once I get it I'll try testing games with various speed cards.

On their site it talks about font issues with out-of-region games but doesn't give any specifics. Has anyone had any problems playing Japanese games on an NA/EU console? I'd like to be able to play Rune Factory 4 in Japanese but it's a no-go if I can't read the text. Or are they just talking about system UI fonts rather than in-game fonts?
it sounds like you have a faulty gateway card. why not ask the seller to replace it ?
I tried a 16 gb class 10 but mario kart still didnt work.
But now it works. :-)
My Solution: i started the game, choosed my character, kart and wheels till i came to the menu where i can choose the cups. Instead of choosing one of the cups that crashes my game i just pressed the home button and went back to the 3ds home. After the game was saved and closed i started mario kart again and now all cups are working!!!
Dont know why it works now, i can only guess there was something wrong with the save.

I'd love to hear how long that solution lasts. While it isn't perfect (one must know when the crash occurs in order to circumvent the freeze, meaning it must happen at least once), it is certainly in the right direction.

I wonder how many people realize the Gateway MicroSD slot is spring loaded and how many people have screwed up the spring by pulling it out rarther than depressing the spring
My gateway arrived Saturday from modchipdirect, and have been trying to use it in my new 3ds with 4.4
Very, very long story short, when trying to start a game (the icon is there) I always get "The game cart was removed" error.
I have seen pther posts talking about this error, but do not see any solutions.
It may just be a faulty card. I am awaiting response from modchipdirect.
Any other thoughts?
thanks..

Or, I also heard that if you use flash memory, it can act as more "RAM" at least windows tell me when I stick a flash drive into it. -
