Hacking Solution for DSTT not loading

[VatoLoco]

This is a method for bypassing the health/warning screen without using flashme, but it also worked to effectively fix the problem of my DSTT not being recognized/loading on my DS. Anyone that has to 'bend' their DSTT to load it should give this a try.

Much thanks to Fat D for the info

As I posted in that other thread, I can't imagine this is going to help anyone who is experiencing a contact problem (which is what the bending is for).

Ive got one of those 'bendy' cards, and it worked for me (I'm psyched/surprised). Before I would spend up to 15min.s trying to get my Ds to recognize the TopToy. Now its booted many many (just to be sure) times on 2 DS's without any problems. It doesnt hurt to try (much better than getting physical with the cart), and I would like to hear from other users if it works for them, too (or not)


side note: I'm not convinced that it is a 'contact issue' (with mine),as when the card finally does boot, there is no freezing or corruption while playing, and runs fine until the power is shut off, then it was the same senerio all over.

I would also like to hear if this works for other users, because it implies that the problem is something other than the contacts or broken solder inside.

Only problem my DSTT has is sometimes I turn it on, and nothing happens
Taking it out and putting it back in works

This happens with all flash cards.

Try reformatting the microSD card. You might want to use a reader other than one that came with the DSTT (which are pretty crappy).
