    im no expert but, ive had a similer sort of problem in the past, pull the battries out of your your daughters ds's and put the time and date back 6 months, see if that helps. happened with my neihbours card. this fixed the problem

          This site is probably the best one-stop shop when it comes to checking firmware for ds cartridges, especially if you have more than one version.

          There are also some useful utilities/tools.

                You need to use the relevant firmware that is compatible with your card ... if you got the card with firmware on it and your not sure check the link in the above post and just choose the card you have

                    sounds like your missing the loader/correct fw
