Azalar Hex Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 My nephew's 3DS has recently decided to fart when he tries to play his Fire Emblem game. When he inserts the game and chooses to start it, it doesn't even get to the title screen. It says it could not detect an SD card and to reinsert the card and restart. So he does this, and it still does not work. So it's either the system, his card, or the game. So we try the game in my DS. It works. Next we put his SD card in my system, the game still loads. Must be his system. So we put my SD card in his system and try to load the game. The game loads fine. So it's not his card, not his game, and not his system. Yet when we put his card back and try to load the game, it's a no go. And only happens when his SD card is in his system. I should add that he can play other games just fine. He even deleted all his save files, DLC, and game data off his 3DS. But it still won't let him get to the title screen. This is a stupid. I figure anyone bored enough to give a possible cause could give it a shot. He really doesn't want to have to send his DS in for a repair, and isn't sure he can even get one anyhow.

André Toulon Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I read this 3 times and I'm not sure why you would think the DS needs repair if it works with your SD card.....Apparently the card is shitting the bed for some reason and that happens with cheap SD cards.....Namely Sandisk.

Azalar Hex Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 I bet it's the sd card contacts. They could be dirty or corroded. It's possible the system card slot & card itself are both fucked up in such a way they can't make contact w/each other but are still able to make contact with different systems & cards that aren't fucked at all. Does that make sense? Kinda. It would be an explanation for why things are only broken when his card is in his system. What's getting me is that it's only that game that messes up. He can play his other games and load the saves fine. Plus his SD card looks exactly like mine condition-wise. No discoloring or warping on the contact pins.
