    when I start up the game on my DS I'm getting an error message...

    "The save data could not be accessed. Please turn power off and reinsert the DS Card"

    It goes through all the opening credits etc and then displays the message.

    This has happened on a number of games I have downloaded and I really have no idea where to start to fix the problem. Its only just started happening with the last 5 or 6 games I have downloaded. All the older ones are working fine.

    Any help would be appreciated, I'm going out of my mind....

    update your flashcart firmware. If that doesn't work, you will have to wait for a newer firmware.

    www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds. Check our tutorials section for a tutorial on upgrading your firmware; the tutorial is written for the R4 but the instructions apply to all flashcarts.

    Nup. Can't find the Tutorial.....

    I downloaded R4 v1.18 English.zip, Unzipped it onto my little SD card and replaced what was unzipped with what was on the SD card already. Does that sound right? Anyway, It didn't make a difference to my problem.

    I'm sorry for being a pain....

    HEY GUESS WHAT... I DID IT!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

    I ended up googling "update flashcart firmware" and an NDS help site popped up. So I sifted through there a bit and and found a dowload for the flashcart (Edge).

    AND IT WORKED!!!!

    Pretty good for a novice I say...took a while, but got there in the end.

    And anyone else reading this....If I can do it....anyone can!!!!

    Happy Gaming!!! :D
