When I beat the bomb boss (the very first boss) in Mario 64 DS & get the star, the games freezes. I've read the common issues thread and I've tried formatting my micro SD card (sandisk 2 GB, if it matters). Anyone know what's wrong?

...then I have no clue :(Prehaps it needs one of those arm7 patches?I never had to do that to my roms-mine' is an acekard 2.1-the game works fine...I THINK there is another dump of the game (a newer one-may be better) so if that is availbe download that...But before you do-which region or version of the rom is it?(U) or (E)...which?

I think it's (U).

So what is the rom name exactly?If it's been altered than...well yep you have no clue XD(my net is worse-sure 70 hours to download 8Gb is ok-but on wireles broadband that shares signal with mobile phone networks-crap-ola!0

It's called Super Mario 64 DS. I looked in the cheats and it had the folders; Super Mario 64 (U) & Super Mario 64 v1.1 (U).
So I'm guessing it's (U).

...i mis-read the title-I thought we were on about the mario party game XDAnyway, It seems the rom name has been altered-this MAY be the first dump-and not the 1.1 (which would be better)...Unfortunalty I have the official game and thus can't scope it out in anyway-got it before i went into rom-ing-sorry mate-hope anyone else here can help...(waves help flags to other users)

Hm, will the 1.1 version make a difference?

No idea-for me it's helped having updated roms...I might as well ask-is your card's firmware up to date?(dumb to ask-as it was one of the first to come out-but in my desperate attempt to help I ran outta ideas 4 post ago :( )

I don't really think it makes much of a difference from 1.0 to 1.1, but why would they make a new version is something was wrong with the original.

Yeah it's the latest update. There apparently hasn't been an update in like 8 months anyway.

try i on no$gba, see if it works on there ;Dthen try download off here, like (U) ones and (E) ones, doubt that will make anything better, but still worth a shot :D

I really can't be bothered downloading NO$GBA, plus I'd have to set up all the options etc.

Have you tried redownloading the game and if so, maybe holding down the A button while the game is loading might prevent your game from freezing. I really do not know much about DDST cards enough to provide an exact answer, sorry (If it were an AceKard that would be different story) Best of luck,

@Miros-apparently he's net is bad and thus cannot-it was predownloaded...My guess is that it's fully downloaded (incomplete games won't even show) but the A button is worth a try XD

Ah,DSTT.Same as mine.Apparently,you know,the old style.Back up everything and try to format it.

Hmm,for me,it's rarely to see DSTT freeze.Try using the firmware v.17a the unofficial one.Before doing it,backup first as I never try yet the firmware v.17a the unofficial one.

Didn't work, tried the unofficial firmware and still freezes as soon as I get the star.
