ds help please

amandac

hi can someone please help me, i bought my daughter a ds lite for christmas and it came with a cartridge with 62 games on it, but now its telling me that the memory is full and i have to delete some data, how do i do it?, she cant play any of the games as its not loading but the original ds games are working fine, can anyone tell me what to do?

Mr E

Hi Amanda.... First step: take the cartridge out of the DS, and tell us what type it is (there should be a label on it). Accessing the data can be a different process, depending on the type of cartridge.

hi MR E it has nintendo printed on the back and it says NTR-005 underneath

Hi, can't say I recognize the card in question from the description but I'v had the same problem myself. What happens is that each game needs to create a save file when it is run for the first time (usually 512KB in size), and with so many games it can happen that there is no space left on the card to create a save file for a new game. In my experience deleting one game will leave enough space for the remaining games save files.

Your problem now is figuring out how to do this on your particular type of cartridge! On mine you press Y when a game is highlighted and this brings up a "delete file" dialog

i cant even get into the games to delete anything, it seems to be the exact same as a normal ds game, i just checked and the number printed on the back is the same on an original ds game

ok just googled the code and it says its a Favor NDS Multicard any help?

Mr E

I looked up a 62 in 1 cartridge, and I came up with this: http://favordisc.com/62-in-1-harry-potter-and-the-order-of-the-phoenix-us-p-1256.html

Is that the one?

amandac

yep that exactly the same

possibly pressing a button on the menu to select games?
I'd never heard of those multicarts before ...they seem to just be a sort of a flashcard with the roms already copied onto them.

ive tried pressing every button but nothing happens, it was working perfectly since christmas just wont boot now because the memory is full, if i had have known i could have deleted the data but i cant get in to delete it now

Try the online chat support in the website Mr E linked to (top right corner of that page), worth a shot.

amandac

amandac

I now its a longshot , but have you tried contacting whereveer you bought it from (if it was someone online/ebay etc?? )as they may have seen this problem before and might be able to help.
It may also actually be a faulty card (i,.e unless they're complete bandits , whoever created the card should have allowed enough room for saves for all the games).
I'd say theres very few people on the boards here with similar cards to this I'm afraid , hence the lack of replies .
Sorry
