I got my SaveDongle today, apparently from the french part of Canada... I'm having problems with it though.

I got mine like 2 weeks ago, but I have been too busy with life to do anything about the review.

Well, I tried to review it today. The software takes a while to load then says "Product is not authorized!" and freezes.

EDIT: Tried updating the firmware. After that, the program started and acknowledged I had a 3DS game in but wouldn't do anything because it said it didn't recognize the firmware on the dongle. Reupdated the firmware, back to product not authorized. Switched USB ports. Program starts but won't recognize anything in the dongle. Rebooted. Back to product not authorized.

EDIT 2 - Pulled dongle, started program, placed empty dongle in a 3rd different usb port, then inserted the game. This seemed to finally work.

Have you tried to change another original cart? whether appeared the same problem?

Thanks for the official reply. It seems I need to start the program, then insert the dongle, then insert the game and it works fine, otherwise it freezes. See review here - http://gbatemp.net/topic/317864-my-save-dongle-review/
