3DS game not recognized by 3DS XL ?

Post by hitbyambulance »

i just got a used copy Culdcept Revolt off eBay - it was the limited edition version and was packed very securely. however, the cartridge is not recognized by my system at all. i tried inserting it multiple times. cleaned the contacts with alcohol (even though they looked pristine), tried inserting a slip of paper in to push the contacts closer - nothing. other cartridges i have (including used ones) work fine. anyone else have this problem? i never have had this happen before.

Is it an import? Could it be region locked?
