Hi i just purchased a M3 DS Simply + 1gb Kingston Sd Mem card.

On the Mem card i have the following:

Moonshl (Folder)
_System_ (folder) (ebook, Themes)
_DS_Menu.DAT
_DS_MSHL.nds
Game (Folder)

I load up the DS Lite with M3 Simply in and select the Game option. I have 5 games on the card (.nds)

Each rom works ok when by itself on the memory card.

E.g

Mario1.nds - - - Works and boots up ok
mario2.nds - - - Loading bar freezes
mario3.nds - - - Loading bar freezes
mario4.nds - - - Loading bar freezes
mario5.nds - - - Loading bar freezes

i select one and it boots ok. But when i try the others the loading bar takes ages to load and freezes!
Why does only 1 game work at a time? Do you know what im doing wrong?
I have tried each .nds game seperatly and each work.

Can you have multiple .nds games on a mem card and play each?
Oh and the game (.nds) that works has a game icon nxt to it and the ones that dont work have a DS icon nxt to them?

Help!! :(

What format is the card?
How are you putting games on the card?
What firmware are you using?
Have you tried defragging the card?
Have you ran scandisk on the card?
Are you leaving at least 5MB of free space on the card?

You missed some questions.

What format is the card? (FAT or FAT32)
What firmware are you using? (1.01, 1.02b, 1.02, 1.03)
Have you tried defragging the card?
Have you ran scandisk on the card?

I have tried FAT and FAT32 format both seem as bad as each other.
Im using the latest firmware 1.03
I have scandisked the card and defragged.

So far ive got 5 Games on card (1gb) and 3 work the other games freeze and have no icon nxt to name instead it has a pic of a DS and says UNTITLED.
Ive have just ordered a different mem card im going to try a Sandisk 1GB and see if its any different. Thanx for your help :)

try using the game pacher which comes on the disk to put them on your card (i have the old products) maby your memory card is not fast enough, is they a speed set? if so move it to the highest(thats the way i do it on the ds one(supercard) to get some games to work. (it may work the other way round i.e. 1 may be the fastest).
if there is a auto thing run that

Sandisk worked very well for me, got my entire collection backed up on one card nice and easy. It sounds like something's defective, but also, check your .nds files, see if you can find them somewhere else, it sounds like you may genuinely have some bad files.
