Hello,
This is my very first thread, Im a supercard newbie. After looking for threads  with similar problems that Im facing, I decided to create this one in order to get some help. Im a little bit desperate here... Well, heres my hardware:
#Game Boy Advance
#SuperCard Mini SD
#Transcend Mini SD 2GB

I went to this page http://eng.supercard.cn/soft_sd.htm and downloaded the last firmware available (1.84) and also installed the latest software (SC SD/MiniSD v2.64). After formating the mini sd card, I put the firmware there, and then passed it to the Supercard, and tried to update. A white screen came after turning on the GBA, with some tabs  (list/saver/options/help/path:/). Afterwards, I pressed L+R at the startup, and it comes:

SRAM ok! sdram ok! flash id ok! flash ok! SD/MMC ok! not find test file
Now SC Version: 1.63

I tried to patch some games, but nothing happens on the GBA. Anyone has any advice? Thanks in advance!

Did you run the firmware *.bin file from the Supercard menu?  You have to run it to install the updated firmware.

The patched games appear in "C:\Program Files\SC\out" by default. 

I'm having trouble understanding exactly what problem you're having, really.  Do you only get blank screens?  Do your games even show up at all?  Are you sure you don't have a Supercard Rumble?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Well, I put the bin file on the mini sd, and then on the supercard. And nothing appears, besides a menu. No games, no files.
The strange thing is that, when I was trying everything, I put a .scu firmware update file, and then the card recognized it and asked if I wanted to upgrade. I pressed start and it didnt work, cos it was the lite firmware...
I have this one:


Im trying to figure out whats hapenning, but I have no idea.

I think u just screwed up your SUpercard because you flashed with the SClite FW

But it didnt flash. It said "this is not the right version, turn off the GBA".

Hm, it doesn't look like a Rumble cart, but perhaps it is.  If you create a new folder on the card on your computer, does it show up in the menu?  If the folder shows up but a *.bin file won't, then you have a Supercard Rumble, which means you can't run any GBA files at all, making it pretty worthless for your purposes.

Also, have you formatted your card in FAT/FAT16 file format?  I doubt this is the issue, as it was able to read the *.scu file in the first place, but it's worth a shot.

I have formatted in FAT format before doing all the job. And when I create folders, it doesnt show up in the menu. It seems that it just reads the .scu files...

Alright, well it if can't view any folders you create, then we've got a major issue.  I really have no clue what the problem is.  Perhaps the miniSD card's contacts aren't touching correctly, or perhaps the Supercard is damaged or something.  I'm not really sure, sorry.

Hm, Im gonna try changing it for another supercard, then...
