After much unproductive time spent trying to fix my apparent crashing on startup of 3ds, it appears that the system was not crashing, but taking as long as 5 to 10 minutes to start up! This on a 200MHz MMX with 64Mb of SDRAM! When I realized that it was a slow startup, and not a crash, I found the appropriate place on Kinetix's web site. Apparently they have a patch for this problem, it appears on only some systems with fast cpus, and not others etc, etc, blah blah blah. I have not yet applied this to my 3ds, but from the description, it appears to be my exact problem! (I was so excited, I had to tell someone!) Go to the links section from the ny members only home page to find it if you are having the same problem. I am going to fire up the patch now, and I will let y'all know how it goes. Wayne
