CycloDS Freezing lots again...

    Hello - I had this posted in the Technical help, but no one replied, and I thought I had found a fix, but all my games are now freezing...HELP!!

    Here's how the problem started: I loaded game #4162 and the freezing started; of course, I read all the threads afterwards on the anti-piracy. So, I did all the below to my card. I thought it was okay, but now, every game I play is freezing! It's either the Beta v1.58 OR, I was wondering if I removed the #4162 and it's .sav file, if that would help. I did that just a little bit ago. If there's something that I'm missing, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

    my cycloDS card is about 4 months old, and was freezing a lot. I did the following:

    saved my DS GAMES and SAVES folders to my PC
    installed v1.58 of firmware - frequent freezes continued
    downloaded & ran the Panasonic card formatting software - it completed successfully
    the only software I put back on the card was the update.evo file; inserted my card back into NDS, ran the installation; it upgraded successfully

    copied the DS GAMES and SAVES folders back to the root of my card
    games seem to be playing fine now - but NONE of the SAVES folder files are showing at the start of the games to select a saved game.

    Any help is very much appreciated

    :-[ NEVER MIND...I found the following after MUCH searching & reading today, and it fixed my problem!

    "Everyone pretty much knows that Alternative save mode will make save files go in the specified folder. "

    Well...I didn't know that this mode saves your save files in the SAME folder as your games. So, I just copied all my saved files and put them into the DS GAMES folder, voila!

    Make your own thread.
    Posting in a 2+ year old thread won't help.

    Get/buy a new and better supported flash cartridge, yours already abandoned by it's maker and no third party support either.

    Someone really needs to get onto that.
    Has RGF attempted it?

    Mm.
    I'll have a look at the CycloDS firmware sometime this week. See if there is any similarities to YSMenu that I can use.
