So I got an R4i card to put all my games on and have had success with all of the games working except for a few. The most pressing are the Mario vs. Donkey Kong games, MvDK 2: March of the Minis and MvDK: Mini-Land Mayhem. When I boot them up, they work totally fine and it says that it creates a save file, but when I go back to the directory of games, both of them show up as not having a save file made yet, as if I'd never booted them up. They won't hold a save at all. When I look on the microSD card, the save files start piling up each time I try to boot up the games and are named "MARIO VS DO.SAV" on both of them.

Does anybody have an idea how to fix this and get the games working on my DSi? I'm using the official firmware and everything else works perfectly so I don't know what to do, short of carrying around the actual carts for those games around (which defeats the point of the card). Thanks.

    That's really interesting @Sicklyboy , I was always under the impression that usenet was slower than regular internet. Also the fact that you don't need any vpn for it to be secure.
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    It seems like it would be less stressful, because you wouldn't have to worry about piracy trolls as much
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Yeah, like at the end of the day, with the few usenet providers and NZB indexers I'm paying for, I'm probably paying anually what a netflix sub would cost. But netflix doesn't have everything media related I want, let alone other stuff like games and software :D
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But it's largely set it and forget it
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    On black friday and a bunch of other holidays you can usually find providers doing like $35/year sales on reddit. And the indexers are usually like $15-20 for a year and a half on sale
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    You pay for the convenience at the end of the day

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I have I think 3 providers I'm currently paying for and 2 indexers. So probably around $110 a year if I had to guess in order to keep that setup going
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But you certainly don't need to go that deep into it, you can do very well with a single provider and single indexer
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Yeah the convenience factor is unbeatable imo. Worth it to me
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    thanks @Sicklyboy, Usenet makes more sense to me now.
