Yea, I had that same problem with the fist DS I bought. Ended up having to return it and get another. Expensive little system, but im enjoying it quite a bit, more so even then I have with probably any system in the past year.
As for the system having to be rebooted every time you change a setting, it's true. Thankfully though you probably won't end up changing the settings much (time, menu color, screen gba runs on, and a bunch of stuff not worth mentioning). Although it does have a stupid caution/warning screen that pops up when ever you turn on the system that is somewhat annoying, which seemably can't be turned off <_< .
But thus far im relativly impressed by the system, more so then I thought I would be. Metroid Prime Hunters is another matter entirly though...
