DS Doom Released

[ACID]

Cant wait for mi supercard lite to arrive so i can play mi nds homebrew

[iball]

That's why I have a crappy Sandisk 2GB mini-SD and a fast-as-hell ATP 150x 2GB mini-SD.
One for playing, one for testing.
Haven't been burned by corruption yet.

I have an A-Data 150x 1gb SD, which is pretty much perfect on the M3 compatibility list. I formatted my card... this is the first time in my homebrew history [NDS, PSP, GP32] that I had to do something like this, or dealt with savestates being erased. Guess I'll have to make sure I back my stuff up for now on.
After I formatted my card, I tried it again, and it still didn't work [FAT32]. I'm thinking some SD/miniSD cards just aren't compatible with it for some strange reason...

There should definitely be a disclaimer about this since I'm obviously not the only one having this problem.

You're formatting it as FAT32.
Format it as plain-old FAT (FAT16) and try again.

I'm currently using an M3 SD...
I tried installing DSDoom, using the vague instructions it provided, extracting all the files to the root directory, with a doom.wad file. I tried running it... I get a black screen on top and a white one on the bottom. I restarted my M3, then the only folders I was able to see was BACKING, prboom-2.4.4-win32, WADS, and the dsdoom.nds file... thats it! I then put my card in the SD reader and checked the space remaining... it gave me about 24MBs. Then I checked the volume for errors [and set to fix any]... took about 15 seconds and it didn't report any errors. I put it back and nothing changed. I decided to try dsdoom one more time.... same thing happened... only this time when I restarted my M3 my custom skin was gone, and the only thing it shows in the folders was FOUND.000!! I put it back in the SD reader and checked the space again, which was the same, and checked the volume for errors, and once again it reported nothing... but it took about 15 minutes. I checked it again and same damn thing.

Can ANYBODY help me?!? Even if I could recover just half of it I'll be happy! Any tools or software anybody knows that could help me on this?? I really want to recover my saves... I put hundreds and hundreds of hours to the games I've played on this... I don't want them to be in vain.
PLEASE, somebody HELP ME!!

I can't help you with this but downloading stuff on to any device like this can often have problems, you should reguly back everything up on your PC, its the same with other devices, do it as often as possible, ya know, as soon as you make some huge foot forward on a game and want to download something new, back up whats already on there.

I a nut shell, whenever your SD card is plugged into your PC to download something, make sure you back up everything first, its already plugged in, whats the prob?

Just a little tip

There is a disclaimer, "08.07.06 - Site created. A lot of functionality has been implemented in the SVN repository over the past week or so and DSDoom is basically ready to be released for beta testing."

You should always have backups when testing beta software. Not that I haven't been burned by the same issue

luckly I ran chkdsk /f on my sd card and the files restored in a something named like file0xx.chk but they were my save files I just had to rename them to the correct name.

Single player works perfect on my DS. I'm trying to setup a server but it's not working.. When connecting to the default IP adress in the PRBOOM.cfg file, it works and then just recieves packets continuously for eternity (I know it shouldnt work with that IP adress). When I put my IP adress in the CFG file I get a guru meditation error after it says connecting via WFC data. I've forwarded port 5030 and I have the server running.
