I just got my SC DS One SDHC - Freezing every 5 minutes.

Hey, I recieved my supercard ds one SDHC about 3 days ago, and it's been working great, and I was very happy with it. Though, all of a sudden only today it's been malfunctioning. The first thing I noticed was a letter in AC:WW was all scrambled graphic-wise, pixels scattered all over and it made letters next to impossible to read. After that I tried going into a house in AC:WW and it would result in a black screen that froze the DS. Which now happens every time I attempt to enter a house. Now it's freezing every 5 minutes I play ANY game, even games that previously worked great. I'll be playing then all of a sudden the screen will freeze, sound will turn off, and the soft-reset or any other supercard in-game functions will just cease to work.

I would greatly appreciate any help on this, because I just got the supercard, and now it's unusable.

Thanks in advance,
Fyrex

First of all what is your make and size of your MicroSD card. and Second what is the speed setting set to on the SDHC? see: http://www.scdev.org/forum/index.php/topic,14597.0.html to find that info out.

i think theres a problem with AC:WW with the current loader & on the chinese forum they brought out a ndspatch.dat to fix the problem
it says it fixes 0193 - Oide yo Doubutsu no Mori (JP) & 0989 - Oide yo Doubutsu no Mori (v01) (JP) so it may fix the english AC:WW's as well
you can only try.........

EDIT: I got it working! Apparently it was an issue with either the SD card or the reader, so I bought a new SDHC Sandisk 4GB Which is working great! Thanks for all the help!

What I recommend doing first is running the Auto Speed Utility on the SDDS:ONE to find the true speed of the card.
More Info: Game Compatibility Question 1.

Yes there have been reports about AC:WW not being compatible with the latest OS (Although not sure why as its an old game - must be to do with new tweaks in the latest OS) However you said NO game would work, so try adjusting card speed.

Not buying anything from RHS (I live in UK so too expensive than local sites) I won't know what make your card is, thus not knowing how good it is.

If working fine then suddenly begins to freeze games then you might have dirty contacts on your DS or DS ONE.

I've found many DS ONEs with tiny black spots over the gold contacts, most like some type of grease from the factory... Cleaned them with a cloth and grease remover cleaner or alcohol, dry and problem solved.
But you can also have a slow micro SD memory if that happens from the begining, or corrupted files if that happens before you put a new game in the card.
