Fails to talk sucessfully to certain cartridges (Flashcards) #5

Open kitlith opened 7 years ago

This isn't consistant. Normmatt had an ak2i that worked with his powersaves, but the one I have for testing does not. Other cartridges work, maybe it isn't providing enough power to the cart?

Everything spits out 0s when this is occuring.

... This has to be some sort of contact issue, at least in my case, because it works when plugging it in through my extender/breakout fashioned from a Action Replay DS. wtf?

Even when this is done, it does not appear to communicate reliably or correctly.

When communicating, often the first byte returned from a command will be 0xFF, and other commands appear to be misinterpreted. E.G. returning the chipid in the middle of the flash dump instead of what's supposed to be there.

This implies that there are two sides to this issue. It implies that powersaves is having difficulty reading what the cart is sending, and that the cart is having difficulty reading what the powersaves is sending.
