So I'm trying to make my girlfriends DSTT card work, I have no idea if it's legit or not but I bought a new sd card to try it with. I downloaded the right files for ds lite from the DSTT site and formatted the sd card to fat32, but it doesn't detect it and just displays the home screen. The sd card is pretty high capacity, is this the issue? I have attached some images of the DSTT card and the sd card (I can't add links yet so here is the name of the sd card: "samsung 128gb pro plus micro sd card".

I'll try that later today, wouldn't a ds lite have trouble with a 128gb card though because ds lite is old or something?
128GB cards should(tm) work with DSTT cards if they are formatted as FAT32. You'll have to see that tho.
However, your issue is not related to that. You would be able to start the card and it would show something like "menu?" if it couldn't read the SD. However, you can't see the card in the menu. That means that it's either a connection problem between DS and the DSTT or the DSTT is broken.

I tried cleaning the contacts but it didn't do anything, the contacts were a bit hard to acces though with a cotton swab, maybe i'll give it a second cleaning but I'm thinking it's dead. Her ds works fine though with normal ds cards and even with my r4card. Thanks for the messages though, btw if I try cleaning it again, how would you recommend me doing that with IPA?

You can try to push the card in the slot to the limit, and boot th DS while still holding it up. That should make it work if the thing was in a bad contacts

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
