Hello,
I have the same issue with Mario Kart DS, there is a black screen when I exit the friend roster. It's not a crash ala Castlevania: PoR, like mentioned above, since I have the best MicroSD card available on the market for the R4, which is supposed to be fine for this game (Kingston 2 GB SD-C02G Japan). A way to fix the crash is to delete a friend from my list before I exit the friend roster, which is quite annoying. And even with that "fix", it starts to crash again and again after a while and I have to delete another friend.
Any idea what's wrong? I have a brand new R4DS with the 1.15 firmware, and my DS rom is a 100% clean and not trimmed rom, and has the right CRC32. My SD card is formated in FAT.
Thanks,
Seb
