Age Of Empires DS - Are the glitches fixed yet?

AoE DS was such a great game. I played it non-stop for about a week.

Then, one day I quit a skirmish game without saving, to return to the main menu, and the game glitched, music stuck and all. No problem, turned it off, didn't think about it for a few days. Well basically the game has this glitch, and if it happens, the game won't boot at all. Ever. It shows up on your DS main screen, but then when you choose it, you just get a black screen of nothingness.

It sucks.

So i returned it for super princess peach, but I'm wondering if anyone else experienced this and knows if the copies I see in stores now are fixed.. cause I'd really like to play this game again..
 
I'm not sure, but I have a strong feeling that Majesco has not released any fixed cartridges. However, there is a work-around available that will eliminate the chance of getting a bricked cartridge:

[quote name='NGreder of Majesco Games']Majesco has been investigating the issue in Age of kings. We have narrowed down the problem a bit and have another work around for the issue.

The issue seems to be caused by having an empire name of 2 or 3 letters in length.

To Avoid the loss of data and the Black screen issue our current suggestion is to edit your user profile.

Make sure the profile is more than 3 characters long (That’s 4 or more letters or symbols)

This work around should prevent any data loss while playing age of kings.

Majesco would like to thank you for you patience and you patronage with us during this time.

So basically, all you need to do is avoid creating an empire name name that is 2 or 3 characters long. Names like Todd, Tod!, and Tod1 are okay, but Tod is not. Some players have also suggested that you avoid using the "Save and Quit" option and that you turn off battle animations to avoid the less serious glitches.

There's a topic concerning the glitches over at the Majesco Games Forum:

Thanks for that. Supposse using the name "Jer" for my profile and saving and quitting out of a skirmish game with full animations might have bricked my cart..
Maybe i'll pick this one up again.
