Fake TTDS / DSTT Cards / Adapters

Fake Versions of the DSTT

Fake Versions

Since the wildly successful original DSTT adapter came out, there has been several major revision to the card, as well as several copycat variations of the DSTT adapter. Unfortunately, the quality of the fake cards varies considerably, and we only recommend the original DSTT.

How to spot the Fakes

Due to the very serious problem of the fake DSTT adapters, the original DSTT manufacturer are currently carrying out a serious campaign to educate the general public on how to distinguish a fake DSTT from a real one. The only way of doing this is to open up the DSTT cover and look at the arrangement of the circuit board as shown below.

Currently, most boxed DSTT adapters on sale that claims to be new are fakes, as the original DSTT manufacturer stopped producing the box model in July 2008.

The geniune DSTT (CURRENT, previous versions were boxed but still genuine) currently comes in a pastic package as shown below:

The DSTT adapter manufacturer also created a video on spotting the fake cards which can be view here.

Avoiding Fake DSTT Adapters

Always buy your DSTT adapters / TT DS cards from a reputable supplier. We recommend NDS-Gear, especially if you're in the U.K.!

DSTT Menu Problem

DSTT Support / Troubleshooting

The Fade-Screen and "Menu?" Error

Two of the most common problems with the DSTT adapter are the faded loading screen crash and the missing micro SD error. The majority of people assume that this is because their DSTT adapter is broken, and immediately panic or send their card back.

THIS IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. YOUR DSTT IS NOT NECESSARILY BROKEN. READ ON...

Six Steps to Solve the Problem

1) Make sure you have downloaded the correct and latest software. For help with this, please visit the downloads page on NDS-Gear (which is a much faster server than the official website which takes ages to load).

2) Make sure the software is position in the root directory - the 'base' or first directory of your Micro-SD card. What your Micro-SD card's files should look like, can be seen below:

3) Give your Micro SD a good clean (a good blow, since the card contacts can be sensitive to dirt).

4) Make sure that the micro SD is not overloaded. The remainder of your Micro-SD card's memory is needed to keep your card running in tip top shape. As a guide, we recommend filling your Micro-SD card no more than 60% full. That means that for a 1GB card, we only recommend filling it 600MB full of games. For a 2GB card, we recommend only filling it up to 1.2GB full,and so on.

5) Make sure the micro SD is pushed down completely into the DS Card (ensure good contact between Micro SD and R4 card). In a very small minority of cases, the micro SD has to be pull up a bit if the 'click' between the micro SD and the DSTT card causes them to misalign.For the old spring format DSTT cards, make sure the spring mechanism is working and not 'stucked' by unloading and reloading the micro SD several times.

6) Reformat your micro SD (FAT16/32) for optimal performance.

7) Use only Micro SD/ SDHC 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 and 32GB. Untested for micro SD above 32GB and problems reported for 6GB micro SD.
