Well, I figured that might be the best thing to do. At least I'm not the only one with this problem.

If I boot to the OS screen then pop in a game it won't recognize it unless I reboot. That's the only issue I have.

Drexl

Well, you're not supposed to put in a cartridge when the system is on anyway. At least, it says that in the instructions.

Totally! I played the main game for 5 days straight without even touching the mini games...but I haven't played the main game since I took a chance on the mini games last week! They're perfect for a short subway ride.

Has anyone tried the Datel Media Player for the DS Lite? I has a 4GB hard drive and you are supposed to be able to use it to play music & movies with. I was thinking about possibly picking this up to use kind of like an iPod shuffle.

Mine been acting up recently. When I turn it on it will say no DS game inserted. I have to power it off and take the game in out several times before it will read. This happens with several games too. After it works problem wont come back till a couple of days later. Anyone else experience this.

SmackDaddy is having the same problem, see a few posts above yours.

I'd exchange it if I were you.

For anyone still wanting to trade their Fat DS, just saw on CAG that its back up to $71 trade value at Gamecrazy.

And you can get the 12 free rentals and brain age free (see coupon in the DS Lite Deals? thread), if anyone is still looking to get a Lite.

I seriously hope they use something like this so you can download Virtual Console games from the Wii to play on your DS on the go.

SmackDaddy

Looks like I'll have to either wait for DS Lite to show up at a Circuit City (all CC's in the greater Houston area are out!!!) or send back to the big N.

I called Nintendo and they said it certainly shouldn't be doing that, at least not as often as it happens to me. For $5 you they will send replacement unit with a return shipping label so you won't miss any gaming. Or, if you don't want to spedn the $5, you can wait for a shipping label, send yours, then wit to get one back.

On the bright side, I went to Gamestop and dowloaded the Magentica demo, no that's just fun!

What are those?

For those of you that don't really need a case, but want to avoid scratches I had an extra Oakley bag laying around that my sunglasses came with and the DS Lite fits perfectly inside it. I'd imagine that most other sunglass bags would work as well as long as they're the right size.

I've had the "no game cart" issue happen 2 or 3 times to me in the past week with different games, too. I bought the Lite on launch day. My Lite has no dead pixels, and is behaving well otherwise, so I don't think I'm going to exchange it at this point. At least the flaw only occurs BEFORE I start to play.

The no game cart thing happened to a lot of DS owners I know. Popping it out and back in always seems to fix it so I have never worried about it.

So, those who got magnetica how is it coming along? I take back what I said about the cost of this game. Well worth it, IMO. There is so much more to it than Zuma could even think to offer.

Training: Beginner - 99 levels ~ 89 on intermediate.

Quest: Level 31 (if you haven't made it this far I just want to say, level 27 will blow you away)

Puzzle: Level 11

The only thing I have a problem with is when the marbles come from the right side of the screen and your marble shooter is on the left side. Makes it real interesting being right handed since my hand isn't transparent.

Jcheckel

For those levels I sometimes hold the ds like you hold it for Brain Age, putting
the left side of the screen on the bottom.

As for how far I am,

Challenge: Training: Cleared 99
Normal: Cleared 99
Hard: Level 63
Special: Level 39 (only did this board once though)

Quest: On Level 39

Puzzle: Completed 1-15

I love the game even though I stink at it. My wife plays it the most, but I don't know how far she is on it. She typically destroys me at puzzle games. I'm actually lending it out right now to someone else that wanted to try it.

Well we are covered under warranty and no reciept is needed per Nintendo when I called in since the official release date is 6/11 we are good for the warranty till 6/11/07. Just an FYI in case the problem gets worse.

eatntae

Good to know. I was a bit worried when I encountered the "no game card found" problem, since it never happened on my original DS.

Josh H

You can create an account on www.nintendo.com and register your DS by entering the serial number as well. That should further help prevent having any warrantee problems.

Josh H

For anyone that missed out at Wal-mart and the other couple of stores you can order the Japanese version of Phoenix Wright from Play Asia for $33.50 shipped. It has an english option and the translation is identical to the US version. Just get the case writing and the manual in Japanese.

Can't wait till I get the Lite

PixyJunket

Ah, whew.. I'm not all that excited over how the black DS Lite looks (probably due to both the clear casing and having owned the graphite black GBA and DS which I think is a far superior coloring). After seeing those pictures I'm quite glad I went ahead and picked up the white DS Lite.

SmackDaddy

Well, my mew DS Lite is on it's way from Nintendo, should be here Friday. Very friendly and helpful customer service. According to the service rep, any returns right now are being replaced with brand new units since it was just released. But, in the future, you'll likely get a refurbushed unit.

I was gonna wait it out until CC had them back in stock, but it started happening more frequently, so back it goes!!
