I have a N3DS that black screens during various part of running Smash 3DS.

It black screens when I try to access the option to change controls, when I go to stage select, or after I confirm selecting my character when going online. It also hangs on loading when I try solo classic mode at stage load or when I pick a character to customize their moveset. Trying to go HOME to kill the game actually causes a hang where I'm forced to hold the Power button to do a force-shutdown.

I've tried re-installing the game and its updates/DLC and it still black screens. I even went as far as clearing tickets (just in case). Still black screens.

This issue effectively kills this N3DS from ever playing Smash.

The only pattern I caught is that it seems to happen when it tries to access parts of the game that needs to load Stages. (I've never ran mods on this game.)

Any ideas?
