So last thursday night I was up late converting movies to DPG to copy them onto my M3 adapter. I have a long plane ride on friday, and as soon as I get on i start watching them. everything's working fine. i start using dsorganize's calculator to take care of some homework. after that, i'm messing around in dso and i create a drawing in the paint app. i hit save, and DSO starts getting all glitchy.
i restart my ds and open DSO again. it says it can't find the /dsorganize folder and can't load any of my files. when i open the file browser, it can't find ANY files or directories in my SD card.
when i run moonshell, the same is true: it says it can't find the /shell folder, so it doesn't open. none of my homebrew programs at all can access any files on my SD card. Everything on the M3 works fine (loading homebrew apps, etc.) but no programs can read from the card.
in addition, i haven't been able to get my DS to connect to any wifi hotspots since then, even in commercial games. i'm still not at home, so i haven't been able to test it on any hotspots that I KNOW used to work, but each hotspot i try i get the same error message.
it's an early DS lite, and an M3 SD (the oldest version). I'm using flashme v7, i believe. if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for what's wrong or how to fix it, it'd be very much appreciated.

Have you tried using chkdsk? The procedure in Windows 2000 is as follows: In My Computer, right-click your SD writer > Properties > Tools > Check Now. Or in Command Prompt:
(replace J with your SD writer's mount point)

DSO has had problems like this before, especially in older versions, since it uses GBA_NDS_FAT which is buggy. The scribble pad has been particularly notorious for breaking my filesystem before.

tepples: since i'm not at home yet i haven't been able to do any troubleshooting of my own yet. i'll try that when i do get home, though.
hyperhacker: how do you go about fixing the filesystem?

In some cases, using Windows' error checking tools would fix it, though not necessarily recover everything. Other times it would just create 10000 files (exactly) of garbage and not help, and I'd have to format the card. I back up its contents fairly often for this reason.

DSO Alpha 3, the one that includes the text web browser also has this fixed mentioned:

but does anyone have an idea why it'd break wifi? whenever i try to connect to a network using (probably an old version of) sgstair's wifi_lib_test, it gets to acquiring DHCP and then the top screen shows "transmit err:netdown" a few times before saying it couldn't connect.

ok, so it turns out nothing is wrong with wifi. but i scanned and fixed the errors on the disk on my computer, but now windows shows no files on the disk, yet the properties menu claims that it's 2GB full.

Unless you're concerned with retrieving anything that was on the card, go to my computer and right click your drive and do a format.
(somewhat off-topic: whats the difference between quick format and ... non-quick format?)

When you choose to run a regular format on a volume, files are removed from the volume that you are formatting and the hard disk is scanned for bad sectors. The scan for bad sectors is responsible for the majority of the time that it takes to format a volume.
If you choose the Quick format option, format removes files from the partition, but does not scan the disk for bad sectors. Only use this option if your hard disk has been previously formatted and you are sure that your hard disk is not damaged. |
Perhaps?
