DSTT - The next generation R4DS revolution for DS (Another blank Nintendo DS Cartridge)
Sat, 02/16/2008 - 14:24 — mario
It seems to be getting harder to find the R4DS - Revolution for DS these
days. So we found the DSTT! The DSTT does everything the R4DS does, plus some. One of the main differences is the DSTT supports SDHC microSD cards. The DSTT also seems a bit cheaper as it comes bundle with your choice of microSD. Here are some good deals on the DSTT:
Here's a comparison chart of the differences between the DSTT and the R4DS

DSTT
Hey, I got my DSTT about 2 months ago, and it on only just started freezing when i opened a game. It never used to do this so can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
"Menu?"
When I first got my R4, it was working perfectly fine. It had a few games in it already, and those too were absolutely fine. But I tried putting in some games into it and it said I had to delete some ROMs. So I just got rid of some files and games that I thought I didn't need. Then I put it in my DS and it never got past the loading screen. So I deleted more games. But now when I put the card into my DS, all I ever get is a white screen with (in the top screen) the word Menu? in red inside an outline of the shape of the R4. What did I do to my R4? It's totally wrecked, and I can't find the files I deleted!
Someone please help me!
.ssav files not working with dstt
when i copy and paste my game files (nds and .sav) to my computer and then copy and paste them to another card it seems the saved information is not transfering. I have renamed all the games in my computer by eliminating the number prefix so they are alphabitized would that effect the sav files. I changed teh name after first unzipping the files, wouldnt the sav file rename also before the game has been put into the ds. please help i keep losing my place in games
Help!!
Hi there,
I am wondering if anyone knows of or has created a homebrew app that allows you to go back to the games menu with out having to turn the DS off and back on again! Thanks.
yeah
if you press all of the buttons on your ds (excluding start and select) your r4 should go back to the main menu if this doesnt work go to settings and look for DMA reset if this is turned on the reset should work. hope this helped
press all of the buttons on
press all of the buttons on your ds to go back to the homepage if this doesnt work go to setup or options and find one the says DMA reset turn it on and this should work

how do you get music and
how do you get music and vids on dstt. i have put both files on there and it does not load and i do NOT have a fake one.
PLZ REPLY IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.
DSTT Freezing at menu screen
My girlfriend got the DSTT back in January and we've not had any problems with it until about 2 weeks ago, When i load it up it gets to the DSTT loading screen just before the menu and freezes. The loading bar at the bottom left is still moving although i can leave the DS on for over 30 minutes and still nothing.
I stripped the DSTT of my games and saved them on my computer, I also updated the TTmenu.sys and TTmenu.dat but it still comes up with the same thing and freezes.
Reading the comments on this page im relieved because ive discovered im not the only one that has had this exact problem, If anyone can help a reply would be much appreciated as i would love to get my DSTT back up and running,
Thanks.

No, but you can get gba
No, but you can get gba flash cards at NXPStore
DS not reading card
Yeah so i've had the card since January. I've really enjoyed it and is one of the best things i could buy for my DS. I have one problem though. For some reason my DS is not reading the damn thing. I even tried blowing on the slot and wiping the end of the card but nothing. Is my already defective? I also checked the microSD card on my computer and it looks fine.
well it could be fake....idk
well it could be fake....idk its just a possibility
Same issue
I have the same issue. Did you also update the TTmenu.sys? I believe that there is a "virus" in that code tha is blocking the DS now. Can someone confirm that this is the case and if so is there a way to remove the "virus"?
I can not run ordinary ROMs any longer, only the games run via TTDS card works.
The roms refuce to boot.
Freezes at the Loading Screen
I recently bought a DSTT and it worked great for about a day, and now whenever I turn my DSL on it always freezes at the Loading screen and won't go to the menu screen. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? :]
Ps. All my games and save files are already in another folder, and I like only have round 10 games on my 2GB SD card. D:

That is because your memory
That is because your memory is full, try deleting some ROMS, until you have around 0.5 MB for each ROM do you have... if you have 300 ROMS, you need 150 MB of free space for the sav files :-)

screen freezing problems
I just got my dstt card and 4Gb sd card. I formatted the sd card, downloaded v1.15 from the dstt site, copied the ttmenu file and ttmenu folder onto my sd card, created a games folder and downloaded 2 or 3 games onto the card to check it worked ok.
It loaded ok, I played one game and then I switched it off. When I turned my ds back on again the screen froze at load up
I just put my sd card back in my pc and I don't have the sys file that I was told would be created on boot up
any ideas what I can do next? thanks
Always use soft reset -
Always use soft reset - don't switch off in a game.
We had this a lot- annoying isn't it?
Soft reset back to main menu, then switch off.

Freezing During Load Up Solved.
I've had a problem with my games freezing during loading. I've tried everything and everything seems to fail. However I read some where on here that they separated their games into another folder. I decided to give that a shot since my options are quite limited at this point. To my amazement it worked! =D
I popped my 4GB microSDHC card into the USB adaptor and into my computer. Opened up the removable drive and created a new folder called "Games".. I then dragged all my *.nds and *.sav files into that folder. Once thats all done I took the chip and put it into my DSTT adaptor and like a well oiled machine, if finally runs once again.
Thank you very much for the help.
Also make sure you've downloaded the latest firmware. V1.15.
DOOOD OMG that worked, you
DOOOD OMG that worked, you are a savior, I would always back up my files and that worked, But this is much easier!!!
the sys file will be created
the sys file will be created on initial boot up of the card
DSTT with 8GB MicroSDHC
FYI.
I got my 7 year old daughter a DSTT and she is using a SanDisk 8GB MicroSDHC with no problems (using the DSTT OS v1.12/). I put 213 game/rom .nds files in a folder I named "roms" on the root of the memory card. Every game she has played works great! Also one thing to remember is to leave some free space for the .sav files. Looks like each one takes 512KB. I haven't messed around with MoonShell yet. Her card is full and she doesn't listen to music much and she can watch movies on my BlackBerry or on the TV at home.
If any one has concerns over getting a DSTT...I have experienced none. This thing is awesome!
Another good place to get games/roms is the torrent sites. So far I have a total of 603 games (99% of them English). [URL deleted] is good too, but very slow.
can you put music and
can you put music and pictures on a dstt?

DSTT OS 1.14
Update. Now using DSTT OS v1.14 but did not get it from the DSTT web site (which is having some major downloading issues).
I did a Google search for "DSTT 1.14" and found a site (first site at the top...GBATemp...) with a mirror link for DSTT OS v1.14, downloaded it and it works great!
Also running original DOOM game...do a Google search for "DOOM DS". DOOM files (4 of them...don't need text files) must be placed on the root of the memory card or game will not load.
Hi, I'm trying to download
Hi, I'm trying to download the latest system files for my dstt, but there seems to be a system file missing ! In the pack there is only "TTmenu" and "TT.dat", but the original one i had a while back had "TT menu","TT dat", and"TT system file". Can anyone help ?
Cheers,
Steve
Ok I'm thinking of selling
Ok I'm thinking of selling my R4 away! It's a great card I accept but It's not reading the hc micro cards! I upload emulators,movies,music files,homebrew games and lots of things so even 2gb isn't enough. I want to buy 4gb(or even 8gb) micro sd,then I guess R4 screws up here! Anyway here's my question ; Should I buy a DSTT or a CycloDs?
I'm sure cyclods would handle all the homebrew games and emulators I want to play (like monkey island 1,2, quake,doom,snes games,neogeo games) but I want to be sure if dstt can handle it ?!
Thanks!
my microsd card won't work
so when i first stuck my sd card into the card reader and stuck it in the computer, it was fine. i put it the firmware and a couple of games, which were in a separate folder. and i stuck the sd card into the dstt in my ds. the games started but froze. i shut it down and tried the other game and if failed to start. i put the sd card back into my computer but this time nothing popped up. i checked my computer and clicked removeable hardrive but it said i had to format it. i tried to but then it said failed to format and windows cannot format. i've heard that the problem might be from the card reader rather than the card, which is 2 gb. in dire need of help. thanks a lot.
Just ordered one
Hey all, searchin around here for stuff about the DSTT and I found this.
Me and my sis pitched in together to buy a DSTT from Amazon and we should be getting it (and the 2GB MicroSD card we ordered) by the 7th of July.
I am such a paranoid person and all these comments that the DSTT sucks (from mods at nds-roms.com) and comments that they can be defective have me getting really paranoid about if i made the right choice of buying this card.
Can you help me erase my worries or are they good to have? thanks.
and another quick question, should I rename the .nds files I downloaded for the card or leave them the way they are?
thanks!
wicked!
nah no need for worries as those people havent tried out the DSTT themselves to they are just prob being abit snotty to shelfs themselfs as super experts but it works fine as i have one myself and it works 100% if you do everything ok and jus dont damage it then your DSTT will just stay alive an function well an normal.
nope you dont have to rename them as long as the ".nds" is at the end of any game name for example mario kart just have the ".nds" at the end of the name so the DSTT can read it, u can rename a game to anything u like as long as ".nds" is at the end of it like this "Mario Kart.nds" and thats all :)
How exactly do i play videos on the dstt?
anyone can help as i dont know how to play videos on the dstt as ive tried something before but it seemed to crash only the audio of the movie works. can anyone tell me what converter they use to convert their videos and for it to work on the dstt?
hahahahaha nothin' beats

Download the DSTT firmware from the official site
Here is the download link from the official DSTT site:
http://download.ndstt.com/download/os/v1.11/eng.zip
Unzip the file and copy all the content onto your microSD, then plug the microSD into your DSTT.
DSTT (Dual Screen Top Toy)
he's can play mp3 & TV/Movies like iPod?
Even Better!
It can play mp3s, TV/Movies like and iPod AND it plays Nintendo DS games! You can store about 50 DS games on a 2gb microSD. Best device I ever bought for my DS. Im going to get them for friends and family this xmas.

dstt emulators
Hey guys, I got a dstt a couple of days ago. I got some roms ready to go for the nes, snes, and gameboy. However, the dstt is not detecting the emulators I put in there (nnnesterJ). Do I need to add nesds in order for it to work? What kind of patches or other things do I need to do in order for it to work on my dstt? What emulators do I need for the dstt to read them and be able to play them?
Thanks!
Problems with my DSTT
i dont know if anyone can help but ive had a problem with all the DSTT cards ive had but its not the card i dont think, when ive put the games on it will work 4 a bit thern it will come to loading and freeze completley then will not work unless i take all the games off n put them back on, any suggestions?
problems for people with crash loading at the start when loading
Its because you have overloaded you memory with "too much" games as i have had the same problem before when i was exploring and playing about with the DSTT for example max games you can roughly put on a 2GB memory is about 42 but max you max to put on is like 25-34 as in my terms i just believe its the firmware problem which the DSTT group needs to update
hiya there i was wondering
hiya there
i was wondering if you could help me, i used to use a site were i had to extract the games to play on my dstt but i have forgotten how to extract them...could you help me??
and also is there a site were i can jst download them for free but not have to extract them so they play straight away on my dstt??
thanks in advance
Hi there, I have also had
Hi there,
I have also had these kind of problems. Tried reformatting, using FAT32 and default allocation size, but after loading a couple of games it would start freezing again.
I have an answer though, which I found on another website which works like a charm. Instead of keeping your .nds and .sav files in with your TT files (system files) create a separate folder called 'Games' on your micro SD card and keep your .nds/.sav files in there. Honestly, I have had no more problems since i have done this, and I now love my DS again!!
Hope this helps.
what web page should I go to
what web page should I go to download games in to my dstt card?

How to convert R$ games to DSTT games
I have an R4 downloaded games and before I transfer it to my SD card i have to extract it from winrar to convert it to nds file. How does it work when I have my DSTT now.
It works the same way
The DSTT works the same way as the R4, you have to extract the .nds from the .rar/zip before putting it on the DSTT.

problem with the dstt
hi, i have bought 2 dstt and 2 micro sd cards, but i have a problem with one om them, when i insert the dstt to my ndsl, my dsl didnt read the card, like if there were no card inserted, but with the other dstt that i bought i had no problems... how could i fix the one that doesnt work? i had also tried using another ndsl and other micro sd but nothing works..
Sounds like a defectiving DSTT
If the DSTT didn't work in 2 DS.Lites, then I would say that it is defective and you need to send it back for a new one.
Nice card but be careful with it!
The DSTT is a fantastic little card. I ordered two from Asia and they arrived quickly, but one of them failed to work. The menu wouldn't load and the card was replaced by the supplier - since then no problems although I would advise people to keep the DSTT in its case or in their DS, not lying around as it's somewhat flimsier than a standard slot-1 cart.
Ships from the US
they also ship from the USA... so its much more reliable then the overseas places. Plus it takes less time and offers FREE SHIPPING! Can't go wrong.
no problems here
they shipped the dstt really quick. i love my dstt!!!!!!
I'm thinking about getting a
I'm thinking about getting a DSTT. Has anyone ordered from Memory Suppliers? Please let me know if you had any issues with them. Thanks in advance.
No problems with Memory Suppliers
We've ordered from them before and had no problems. The items arrived quick! Would do business with again.
