Cassie, yep 'everything' is easy when you know how! I got confused cos i'd used R4 and DSTT system is different lol. I've just been sent a M3 simply so a third system to download and confuse me even more. What we'll do to keep the kids happy! Glad its all working for you now, christmas stressful enough time as it is. Cheers,
I see the link for the DSTT is prices in $....are you from the u.k?,and is that why you quoted in £? I am thinking of ordering one of those at that price
just ordered a TopToy DSTT from dealextreme , this one to be exact - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10289 . i usually order r4ds but i thought while these are new and very cheap i will give one a go . has anyone got one of these TopToy DSTT and if so how happy are you with it ? does it play all the nds games you have tried , has there been any probs with any game ? ps. found the official homepage for firmware downloads and so on - http://www.ndstt.com/english/product_en.htm and a new review here - http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=69748 thanx for all of your time , woof811.
My daughters DSTT with 2gb micro sd is working great. However Ive had a problem with screen freezing and games not loading on my DSTT with 1gb micro sd - even though there is over 100 mb space left for the sav files. Ive tried formatting and reloading a few times but have the same problem. Strange thing is when I deleted the DSTT system files and loaded with M3 simply files the games worked fine on my M3 simply. So I experimented and copied the DSTT files from my daughters (that works)and deleted the M3 files and tried again in the DSTT but it freezes again - i.e. the same 1gb micro sd card works on the M3 not on the DSTT. Anyone any ideas? This has happened with more than one card.
not tried the dstt card as yet ( ordered one a few days ago ) but i was wondering if you was using the latest firmware ? latest is version 1.07 if that helps - http://www.ndstt.com/english/download_en.htm was just wondering if your memory card is working ok in a m3 simply but not in a dstt that it might be firmware . woof811.
Thks for the reply woof811 - only just got the DSTT and downloaded the latest kernel from their web site.
@jodiebex did the latest firmware for the DSTT v1.07 sort out the freezing and games not loading ? is it working ok now . woof811.
No, V 1.07 was the firmware I had already downloaded. Appears to work on daughters 2 gb micro sd but not the 1 gb, even though lots of room left for sav files. Thought it strange the card worked in my M3 (with m3 firmware) but not the DSTT with V1.07 firmware. This has not just happened on one 1gb micro sd but FOUR!! Luckily I had a few spare micro sd cards (Kingston) and got working on them, but it did my head in and what if someone doesnt have spare cards. Wonder if theres a fault with V1.07 firmware, could that be the reason? Has this freezing happended with anyone else??
it sometimes doesnt load on me too. i just keep on reformatting and reformattting. try reformatting it on FAT32. not FAT. it will lessen your hangs...and i found out that if you will add a game,copy the .SAV files, (your save files) just reformat the microSD then put all your files back WITH YOUR NEW GAME and that will also lessen your hangs...and also dont use cheats....it causes FRAGMENTATION thats why the game doesnt load...everytime you load a cheat..it makes a new file with the .ARP extension and fragments you microSD..if it still occurs, try turing off the DMA mode (the little cd icon) or try turning it on if its turned off beware R4 users. some games for the DS doesnt work on the R4 like Cooking Mama 2, SimCity DS etc. so its better to get an DSTT rather than the R4 because its cheaper, all games work and has a better interface (for me)
carlos 18, great video thanks for the info. Any idea why the micro sd loaded in my M3 simply (without formatting again) when just changed the system files, but wouldnt work in the dstt again when changed system back to dstt? I will try formatting the four micro sd's that wouldnt load on dstt to fat 32 as you suggest and give em another go. Are you saying everytime I want to add a new game Im better formatting and reloading - seems a lot of hassle if so.
yeah...even to me it USED to be a hassle but now i doesnt stuck up cuz i dont connect it to the computer anymore...it stays on the ds so it doesnt get stuck up.... i think that the M3 and R4 uses a better technology on handling the microSD than the DSTT\TTDS. maybe it will get fixed on the next firmware revision....just keep on looking at the DSTT's site: www.ndstt.com
carlos18, cheers for your reply. I will keep looking for update to DSTT firmware and hope it comes soon. The freezing has been the only problem but I did find it a big one!! Happy New Year to you.
carlos18, I have formatted micro sd to fat 32, reloaded system files and games but still having problem with freezing at loading screen. There is over 100 mb of freespace. Any more ideas or am I doing something wrong? I have tried with sav files and without!
try reformatting again then load the system files, load JUST ONE game and try if it will open...and what Operating System are you on? if XP try to scan if you have viruses on your computer oh...i almost forgot....try downloading the System Files again if problem still occurs just reply....
There seem to be lots of problems with the DSTT card. I got it to work first time without any problem. The card does not allow you to exit a game to the main menu. You have to carry out a "soft reset" each time. The only other option is to switch the DS off. When you switch the DS off, unpredictably, the system will hang when you try to switch it back on. I get the initial DS health warning screen in very faint writing and it does not respond to "touch screen to continue". This is a major hassle. The DS itself will work if I remove the DSTT card and inserting a DS game card. It will also work if I leave slot 1 empty. The only way to revive the DSTT card I have found is to take the micro SD card out and reformat it in my PC. This is frustrating when all you wanted to do was to switch games. Many users are reporting this problem and no one seems to have provided a satisfactory answer. I viewed carlos18's video on youtube but this is not the same problem. Help anyone?
How did u go abt letting ur ttds run m3 files? wads files do i nid in the card, i tried adding m3 files but it couldn't load any games, i wanna change my ttds to use m3 simply to prevent the game loading prob thx...
louispaul, sorry if i confused you. I have both DSTT and M3Simply cartridges and each use different system files. You cannot use m3 files on the dstt. All I meant was the 1 gb micro sd card was not at fault because it worked in my m3 simply (with m3 system files) but when I changed the system files to DSTT and put the same micro sd card in the DSTT cartridge, it did not work.
