well, you are not the only one... shark650 has had all sorts of problems with his Slimloader, NPK, and Neomax (he mixes .dll files and does everything imaginable to try to get it to function properly on his setup).

I've also heard of a so-called"break-in"phase,when the stuff just seems to start working.
Considering that it was previously used,I don't think that's the case-
But-It sounds as if it's working fine.
As I said,Daughter #1 uses a 512 NEO-cart for GBA with no problems,so maybe it won't act up again.

*L*
I can get Castivana COTM to save,also NPK dosent seem to like golden sun trying neo max.

it also is very fussy about where I plug it in and soemtiems I have to change where I plug in it >< got any spare SL3? *L*
oh well golden sun seems to be messed up.

all I can find to fix headers and such for GBA games is GBA Tool Advance 0.7  is that the only worth while GBA tool?

Also I am goign to start makeing a list of what works on what.

Man,as far as you are with it,I hate to pull a 360 on you-
I use NEO-MAX to set-up daughters GBA.

Seriously,try too fool with it a bit,and if you have any questions,we'll do our best to help.

Particularly with NDS,I don't think NEO-MAX is recommended over NPK,but I've had a lot of success with it,with GBA.

(All I know is that my 7 yo daughter is beating GBA games left and right-I'm so proud!!!!)

I know this will sound odd,but the coders are so busy coding,that they pretty much seem to rely on testers and such for feedback,
Please keep in mind how quickly this technology is coming along,and I can only promise you,the coders work every day to improve the product.

It may be difficult to get an SL3 or 4 by itself(I am just now helping a lady I work with get started in the hobby,not sure what she plans to purchase herself,or I might could try to help.Depends on what she gets or does not get,and it could be a couple of weeks on that.)

Try the NEO-MAX software,the newest version addressed a lot of problems with the slim-loaders.
The only"cart"I cannot get to work with it is the NEO-Key.
Please just give the NEO software a try.

EDIT-On your side though.The SL's should probably be available seperately(they're kind of fragile)
Another thing-Boblen recommended to someone(as a LAST resort)to take the SL apart,and make sure the USB cable is properly seated inside.
Just don't hold me responsible.......

Bust they are but at the price they could come up with a simple swap system charge 10-50 plus s/h to swap  it,but  hell even full brand tech places dont do that *L*

ZippyDSMlee,

You should definitely try the latest neomax, as there are bugfixes in each version.

As far as purchasing a Slimloader 3 separately, only place  I've seen that carries them is ic2005 (near the bottom of the page -- price is high, though)

http://www.ic2005.com/
