Why does my platinum freeze?

Question

This happens rarely, but sometimes when I'm on my platinum, it just freezes. I can't unfreeze it and I have to turn it off and I have to go from where I last saved. It can get annoying. I have a normal d.s. if it makes any difference. Since it rarely happens, I'm in no hurry for an answer, but it would be nice to have an answer.

Answer 1

The following conditions may cause your game to freeze:

• The use of an Action Replay card
• The use of a ROM/Emulator card such as an R4 card (make sure you alway use Nintendo products only - these aren't.)
• Dropping or mistreating your Game Card
• Dirt, dust or moisture present in the Game Card slot of the Game Card itself
• Any kinds of glitch your game may have
• preowned games (in this case ask the previous owner)

Or, it may be a simple factory/manufacturing error which in this case is unresolvable.

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure you mistreated the game card.

You should keep trying and if not....Maybe you throwed it or ....... it fell a couple times.

Comments

Well, it was pre-owned, so maybe they mistreated it? It happened the first night I got it.

Yeah maybe they mistreated it.

Immediately ask the last owner if you bought it from him.

Answer 3

i have that happening to my platinum on my R4 so months later i got a DSI and some other stuff. a got a M3 too, and it has platinum and it does not freeze. platinum is a old game, so that's why it probably freezes. also, if it drops on the ground, it frezzes.

Answer 4

This may be caused by cheats (caused by AR).
Or you could just drop it a couple times, have a faulty system, etcetera. I know when I accidentally drop mine, it usually freezes. Glad I don't do that anymore. ;D
Glitches will also causes freezes.
There may be more reasons, but that basically covers it.
Hope this helps!
