Mario 64 DS
D
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?
M
Flash cart type?
D
Crap, forgot to mention that. DSTT.
M
...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?
D
I think it's (U).
M
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
D
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).
M
...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)
D
Hm, will the 1.1 version make a difference?
M
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
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.
D
try i on no$gba, see if it works on there ;Dthen try download off here, like (U) ones and (E) ones, doubt that will make anything better, but still worth a shot :D
D
I really can't be bothered downloading NO$GBA, plus I'd have to set up all the options etc.
M
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,

M
@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
F
Ah,DSTT.Same as mine.Apparently,you know,the old style.Back up everything and try to format it.
D
Replying to #17
Already tried that, twice.
F
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.
D
Didn't work, tried the unofficial firmware and still freezes as soon as I get the star.
