DS Flash Equipment > M3 CF game freezing

#96120 - Margrave - Tue Aug 01, 2006 1:25 pm

Hi

i've run into some problems lately when running games off the M3 CF card in a DS Lite:

DS originals work flawlessly, GBA originals work too, but running DS backups seem to randomly crash the game. I've updated to latest firmware (22f), but still happening, in every game tested.

I've tried on an unlit DS (non lite), and after some initial testing the games seem to work (not too exhaustive testing, may need a bit more).
Also, since the problem started, im getting random "write PSRAM failed" messages when booting backups.

I've tried reformatting the CF (both fat and fat32) and reverting to older firmware, but still doesn't work.

Seems it could be an error with the M3 device; any way to check out?

Checkout the forum rules. No backup talk. Since original games (I'm assuming this means homebrew) work, your device is fully capable as far as this board is concerned.
