    Hi there, i have been reading the other 2 threads on the problems with these cards as im having the same problem with the 2 white screens of death. it flashes something about the menu for a split second then nothing.

    I have fully formatted it, quick formatted it, put the xmenu.dat file back on along with a game and it just keeps doing the same thing. I am using a mac rather than PC but this shouldnt really affect it should it? I have noticed that the xmenu.dat is NOT creating the dsystem file on the DS once put back on. Am i doing something wrong or could it be faulty?

    Please help my guys!

    the good news is that your firecard is probabaly working fine...
    ...the bad news is that the firecard is incompatible with the mac.
    .
    it's sad that the makers of these cards claim that they work with macs, but they dont.
    i've scoured the net in the past trying to finad a way to get them working.
    i believe there is no answer.
    sorry.
    you need to find a windows PC to borrow to put the games onto your card.
    .
    check this old thread, which had me pulling my hair-out a few weeks ago...
