OK... I have started to convert some games with the Supercard SC 2.42 software. It creates a Game.nds.dsi.... and no .sav file. Am I doing something wrong with this new software?

[Lupin]

you want to double click the rom in the supercard software, then the properties will come up. make sure the dot is in SD card for both boxes. You will get a .dsq extension and a.sav file matching your rom also. Hope this helps.

Ok. Got it to do all that. Now... do I have to rename the files at all? The Game.nds.dsq & Game.nds.sav... do I have to take off the dsq or nds or anything like that?

And then can you also explain how to boot the game up specifically.

[moviecouple]

One other question too. Am I able to put multiple DS roms on the SD Card... and can I also put DS, GBA, NES, GB all on the same card too?

[Koji]

No you do not have to rename the files. Wouldn't make sense that the program that patches the files makes you change the names of them ^_^

And yes, you can put multiple DS/GBA/NES/etc games on it.

Though if you are going to play GBA/NES/etc games you should boot in GBA mode instead of DS mode since in DS mode if you play a GBA game, the bottom screen will stay on using up extra power.

Actucally... I have one final question and then I think I am good to go.

How do I check the Firmware of the Supercard SD? I know that for CF, you turn on the power and hold L+R Triggers.

Also... If I upgrade the Firwmare to 1.52 for the Supercard SD, will I still be able to use with me GB Micro and GBA SP2?

Supercard SD is supposed to be 100% compatible with micro and GBA SP2. It's supposed to only be old model CF versions of super card that don't work with micro.

As for checking firmware... I'm not sure. The way I do it is I just put a file called upgrade.scu on my card (whether it's actually firmware or not) it'll come up on screen saying "Old 1.XX (being the firmware number you are currently using). Then just choose no for the upgrade.

I can't seem to find the 1.5 upgrade... all I can find is a 1.5 bin file.... which is from here actually. Do I need to go 1.5 and then 1.52? Or can I go directly to 1.52? I did see that it is currently 1.44 on the Supercard.

Also... I tried it before all the upgrades... and all I get is the two white screens.

And to Upgrade... I do it in GBA mode or DS mode?

No importance 1.44 to 1.5 (GBA MODE) 1.5 to 1.52 (GBA OR DS MODE)

[moviecouple]

So I have to go to 1.5 first and then to 1.52.

Where can I get 1.5? On this site it shows up as a .bin file and not an .scu

mysd_for_NDS_passme.bin is what it shows up as.

1. Download FIRMWARE 1.5

http://www.scdev.org/files/firmware/sd/mysd_for_NDS_PassMe.rar

2. Put UPGRADE.scu on your SD card. Put the SD card on your SuperCard      and Turn your Nintendo DS on and load it in GBA mode.

3. Upgrade your firmware as indicated on screen.

4. Download FIRMWARE 1.52

http://www.scdev.org/files/firmware/sd/UPGRADE152sd.rar

5. Put UPGRADE.scu on your SD card. Put the SD card on your SuperCard      and Turn your Nintendo DS on and load it in GBA mode.

6. Upgrade your firmware to 1.52 as indicated on screen.

Ok, dumb question. The link in step 1 unzips to "mysd_for_NDS_PassMe.bin", not UPGRADE.scu. The link in step 4 unzips to UPGRADE.scu. Shouldn't they both be "UPGRADE.scu" or is the first bin file also an executable firmware upgrade as far as Supercard is concerned.

My SC isn't here yet, just getting prepared for when it arives.

Sorry 1.50 upgrade et 1.52 are in .bin just put that in the CF and run it.

[UScr00ge]

So the steps are really (for Secure Digital version)
1) Copy mysd_for_NDS_PassMe.bin and run it to upgrade to 1.5
2) Copy UPGRADE.scu and run it to upgrade to 1.52

Correct?

What he is asking above... is that the correct way?

And then how do I load in a ROM games? I have the Supercard SD and Superpass with Metroid.

1. Everything is connect and installed.
2. I turn on the DS

Then what?
