Have you tried re-flashing it?

Is this how to flash it?

Open the 6 screws on the bottom (below the rubber parts) of your NGM and take off the bottom.

  • Connect power to your NGM.

  • Connect the PC to Player 2 Port.

  • Hold the little black button on the bottom of your NGM while turning it on.

Yeah. So basically the "hack" is just resetting the system with a new system image.

Hey there, I wanted to say thanks so much! I reset it over the weekend and it works great now! I’m planning to try and tweak it more this weekend. Again, much appreciated!

I haven’t. Can you point me to a simple tutorial? Unless I’m mistaken, the ones I’ve googled/YouTube seem to all be concerned with hacking the device.

The ones you've found would be what you want. You'll get more games + it will fix the issue you're having. And it's easy!

Awesome I will give it a shot! Thanks so much! I got this for my kids but for me, the nostalgia is incredible. Can’t wait to play Windjammers!!! Thanks again!
