    Hi everyone, I'm new to this site so forgive me if i make a mistake in this first post of mine.

    I was downloading a game for my nds when it said i had no more available space in my micro SD chip. So I attempted to delete two games. It still had no space. I checked and apparently no matter how many games i take out my free space usage is still only 35.8MB?!
    I can't even put back any games i took out now.

    Can anyone help me with this?

    Thanks.

    only thing i can suggest is, if you copy all the games and game saves to your pc. also copy the system files too,. then reformat the m.SD card. then copy everything back. that should do the trick IF the m.SD is not dead. good luck.

    Hmm .. well right now I still have 4 games on it that I can play ... but if I try to reformat the whole SD chip and it doesn't work I'll have to spend money on another one.

    By the way, I'm not a very tech savvy person .. so how would i go about reformatting the SD card? :S

    on your Windows Explorer, (or My Computer) just right click on the m.SD drive and a window pops up, select format. choose FAT type for 2GB or less. FAT32 for 4GB or more.
    Note: backup your files before formating.

    a 2gb is about £5 on ebay. well worth the money comsidering the cost of retail games ;)
