k, I have a supercard ds one, with a the newest firmware sp2 and everything

k the problem is more concerning the download play option in the ds, I downloaded mario kart ds and went to multiplayer and waited for my cousin who didnt have a ds one nor mario kart and tried the signle cartridge option, it all worked fine he connected to and I tried to "officialy" connect with him. thats when I guess my connection went from 3 green to 0 red, and then finnaly it said connection lost which is weird
I tried this 3-4 times before I quit
so was just wondering if any of you guys have tried download play with others using the signle cartdige option, because im totally not sure what the problem is

ROMS cannot be shared with an unflashed DS. The DS that is receiving said ROM from download play must be flashed to remove the signature check.

so basically, no real possible way to do it. My cousin has to go get himself a seperate flash kart or his own supercard for it to work?, if i got that write, then whats the point of single download play with a supercard then, if we both have flash karts then we might as well both download the game?

btw what you mean by flashed (i am assuming flash kart)

well this a problem all flash carts suffer from, only the newest flashcart 'evo-cyclo' has a fix for downloadnplay

but a way round is to flash your own ds (flashme), and put the scds1 in the other ds and then you can download n play

of course if your cousin had an original mariokart ds then there would be no problem connecting up

note.... not all titles have a downloadnplay problem on most flashcarts, a good many roms have no problems, though on the other hand quite a few do.

ya, I was doing some research on it and I just read this thing about flash me, now the problem is, what exactly is it and how do I put it in my ds, I saw a video and I saw this guy opening up his battery back and doing some crazy things to it (not really) but he used pass me and somthing in slot 2.

was wondering if there is a way of flashing buy just putting it in my supercard ds one and running the program, but I doubt its that convenient..

I'm sure you can run the flashme from your scds with no problem (i don't have one so can't say for sure, but it would seem to me having a slot-1 flashcart makes the whole process much easier)... but you
WILL need to short the sl-1 contact in the battery compartment to overwrite the original ds-firmware.

It's just a case of reading up and being 100% sure of what you are doing before commiting yourself to flashing, you can bugger your ds if you go in hamfisted without reading up properly... fort example practise shorting the sl-1 contact before flashing

well, my cousin is looking for a cart, so il just show him the dsextreme (all though it is a little pricy, its like buying another ds) or any of the newer ones

in terms up shorting it, I dont really want to open it up and do n e hardware "modifications" to it

so il just probably play some other games that surpisngly do work with the supercard
