NEED HELP! Trouble after formatting Supercard MiniSD!

I downloaded Jam Session, converted, and tried to put it on my Supercard MiniSD, but every time I tried my laptop said my card was full, but when I checked the MiniSD (1gb) card, it had enough space. Next I saved all my previous games, moonshell data, etc onto my laptop and formatted my MiniSD card as FAT 16 and then I was able to save Jam Session onto my MiniSD card. However, when I tried to play it on my NDS the firmware loaded up fine but no files were detected so all that showed was the supercard menu. When I ran a supercard test, everything checked out ok except for the message 'test data not found.' I thought there might be a problem with the firmware, but when I tried putting other firmware (I unzipped the file and placed the 1.7 .bin file onto the card) the firmware didn't update automatically...Now I have now clue what's wrong! Please help! I'd be grateful for any help! Thanks!

what patching settings are you using ?

using RESTART ON

and HIGH COMPATABILITY is all the settings you should need  :)

thanks! I really appreciate the response! On the other forums that I posted I don't get any responses! :)

But I think I didn't explain what was wrong clearly...After doing all that (including converting on High compatibility) and even after placing back all the games (already converted) that did work onto my MiniSD, all I seem to get when I use the supercard in my DS now is the supercard menu screen (list, saver, options, etc) without any content (games) to choose and I can't even switch to other tabs... :-[ I'm not sure what to do at all at this point...all I know is that when I run a test everything is ok but

'TEST SD/MMC
SD/ MMC ok!
not find test file'

appears...is that supposed to happen?

Thanks for the help! I managed to solve the problem, apparently I needed to format my card as a FAT instead of FAT 16, so everything works, thanks!

Well, with the Windows formatter, FAT is the same as FAT16, so it's likely that the reformat itself fixed the card, not necessarily the file format you reformatted into.  Still, glad to hear that the problem's been sorted.  For a while I thought it might have been a serious hardware problem.
