CycloDS Not Loading Games

Post by lisalover1 »

I just updated my CycloDS Evolution DS Flashcard to the latest firmware, but now it won't play any official games. Whenever I select a game, it says "loading...", but then it never loads. Homebrew works just fine, however. Is anyone else having this problem?

I suggest putting the previous version back on. Does it still work?

It doesn't let me downgrade the firmware, from what I have tried. I also just got a EZFlash 3-in-1 for the GBA slot of my DS Lite, but that couldn't be the problem, either, because the problem is still there when I remove that cartridge.

Maybe try reflashing it?

using the supplied sdhc card reader copy the cyclods firmware upgrade into the root of your mem card

put it and your busted cyclods into your ds

turn on your ds

press and hold select and start

whilst holding those tap the screen or "A" to start the cyclo ds evo in recovery mode

it will now reflash itself properly and fix any errors in a previous flash

once the flash is done you'll get a message to press a to turn off your ds
release start and select then tap "A"

now just turn your ds back on and start your cyclo ds.

i hope that helps you and relives your worry over bricking it.

I just re-flashed the card with the previous firmware, but I still have the same problem.
