Hacking Problem with DSTWO

[Jessicax91]

Hi!

I recently received my DSTWO card from http://www.cheapr4i.com. I bought a 30 GB Micro SD card separately from Ebay. Everything seemed okay at first, games played fine, no complaints. However, I keep encountering an error, that is, every time I put above 20 or so games onto the Micro SD/DS Two it'll start corrupting the new ones I add and wont run them (There is only a generic DS icon and the game black screens upon attempting to load the games) In fact, I think it corrupts the entire Micro SD as it wont recognize anything (updates, etc) that I put on it. The stuff I put on before it was 'corrupted' however still works fine.

I've tried formatting the SD card several times but encounter the same problem. I've formatted through Windows and have even tried using the Panasonic formatting program but to no avail. I would try to use another SD Micro card to see if it's an issue with this certain SD Card (It was pretty cheap) but I don't have a spare on hand at the moment.

Would you say it's a problem with the DS Two or the SD Micro card?

I tried to take a photo of what I'm encountering. (http://i.imgur.com/YgAWoh7.jpg)

Thanks for your time!

You (likely) got a fake microSD card from eBay.

Get H2testw to make sure: http://fightflashfraud.wordpress.com/download-h2testw-free-and-test-flash-memory/

If it reports a low true capacity, like 2 GB, you have a microSD card that can only store 2 GB of data and corrupts anything beyond that, but appears to operating systems as a 32 GB card.

Like Nebuleon said, you have a fake MicroSD.
Also, 30 GB MicroSD cards don't actually exist. Are you sure you didn't mean 32 GB?

Never buy SD cards online unless it's from a reputable seller (and a reputable brand)
Especially Kingston cards, they are likely fake if from a chinese seller.
