shouldnt think so they are pretty standard settings I and others use for almost all the games ive tried so far with the only change being RESTART either ON or OFF  :)

you could use TRIM if you want :)

you dont always have to patch lots of games at the same time either you could just patch the 1 game and see if it works first before patching the rest :)

trim or trimming removes any blank data in the rom code this usually can make the rom smaller so you can fit more on the memory card with some games trimming can reduce the rom size to half its size  :)

patching gives the rom the correct header to start from slot 2 instead of slot 1 :)

Also sometimes trimming breaks the rom, so if it doesn't work after patching try patching without trim and restart.

I have a Supercard SD (not lite) running 1.81 firmware and using SC 2.6 software...

For the life of me I cannot get the NDS cheat system to work at all. Created .cht files from .txt files properly and named the same as the roms. Then I tried using L+R+Up+Start during the game but nothing happens. I can't do anything but reset to the supercard game menu, actually.

What am I doing wrong? Please help.

Once you get the cht files, you need to use "cht2Supercardcheat" to convert it into a *.scc file.  You must then repatch the game, specifying that cheat file as the one you want to use for that game.  If you don't repatch, the game won't even check for the button combo or the cheat file.

Hey guys, I am having a problem similar to this using Supercard lite 1.81. Tried using cheats with Final Fantasy 3 and Animal Crossing and both freeze at black screen after selecting which cheats to enable when starting them up. FF3 will show the company logos before freezing but AC just froze right after exiting the cheat screen.

Have messed around with the patching options in the Supercard software but no matter which way I do it it never works. Any help would be appreciated, thanks  :)

I think FF3 (EURO) cheats got fixed in 2.61 patcher, but as for Animal crossing there seems to be no fix at this time.


also note with FF3 you must not turn any cheats on the first time you boot the game, as it stops the save file being formatted correctly.. turn them on once your in game... I used cheats on FF3 (USA version, not EURO) using this method even with 2.60 patcher.
Yes I'm mad
