    Default Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Flash Cart problems

    Hey, I decided to grab PM Diamond and Pearl for my flash carting purposes but after uploading it using GM V3.13 they don't seem to work when I boot them up in the M3 Passcard/Movie Player I have.

    My Passcard and Movieplayer are: http://www.modchipstore.com/NDS-Nint...-SD-16373.html

    and I'm using a traditional DS and using a 2GB MiniSD Card which has not shown any incompatibility with the above flashcarts with other games I've played in the past.

    I got the Pokemon roms from: http://ds.rom-news.org/?keke=downloads&search=pokemon, 1st DL link.


    On the seventh dawn of the seventh day a twice-blessed man will roam the fields. Doomed to shadows with his brethren, or saviour to all who walk the ground.

    I've just tried that rom you linked in my M3 perfect lite sd (sandisk ultraII) patching it with these options: 1MA, Soft Reset, Force R/W. It works nice and saves.
    What options did you use to patch it?

    Damn, I patched it with the options used with the Japanese rom, there wasn't any USA Rom options on the DS compatibility list. They were: Trim Rom, 4MA, Software Reset. I'll try using the options you've posted above and let you know how it goes.

    **UPDATE**

    Thanks CM, it worked with the settings you used, as usual you are always helpful.

    Strange, It should have worked with 4MA as well, did on mine.

    To be honest I've haven't tried patching it with 4MA yet, perhaps it has to do with the flash memory.

    But what about the Trim Rom, could that have been the problem?

    I don't know, but in your original post, you said "GM V3.13", when was the last time you updated your firmware/game manager?

    Firmware is at 32, and Game manager is at 32b.
