Game tested/used/applicable

Mario Paint Composer DS (Bullet Bill Release) (latest as of 07/28/2010)

Expected Behavior

When all the required files are in place, the game should display a Mario Paint Composer DS splash screen, and pressing any button or tapping the touch screen will enter the song editing area.

Actual Behavior

The game displays a FAILED TO INITIALIZE FILESYSTEM error. Tried creating a RAM disk, and it didn't comply.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download Mario Paint Composer DS.
  2. Extract the required files and place them in the SD card.
  3. Launch the game.

Logs

My NDSBTSRP.LOG just says LOGGING MODE, nothing else. I don't think that might be helpful, but that's what my log file says.

Other notes

Also tried Unlaunch, no luck.

Will you be available for future issues and/or replies?

Yes

I tried and set it to run in DSi mode, but I got a result worse than that error. Instead, the console locks up on a white screen, requiring holding down the POWER button to force shutdown the system.
