Upgrade to v1.53 leads to disappearing NDS roms

Hi.  I had put some patched NDS roms onto my Supercard SD card.  However, when I upgraded to version 1.53, I can no longer see the roms on the menu when I switch on the GBA/NDS.  I used to be able to see them under version 1.52.

Can anyone help please?
Thanks

You cannot see NDS roms anymore in GBA mode. You have to be in NDS mode to see NDS roms.

Hi, what do you mean by NDS mode?
I have the SuperPass which doesn't work (2 white screens) because I have one of the new blue NDSs.  However, even though the SuperPass didn't work on the NDS, I used to be able to see the NDS games when I plugged the SuperCard into my son's old GBA under v1.52, and now I can't under v1.53.
Are you saying that v1.53 changed it so that I can only see the games when I plug the SuperCard into the NDS (with the SuperPass working, which it doesn't at the moment!).
Thanks.

Your Superpass doesn't work because you need a PassMe2.

And the DS has two modes; GBA mode and NDS mode. GBA mode is what it normally runs things from the GBA slot in, and NDS mode normally runs only from the DS slot. Passthrough devices (PassMe[2]/SuperPass, WiFiMe, FlashMe) trick the DS into staying in NDS mode while running code from the GBA slot. Firrmware 1.53 hides .nds files while in GBA mode.

Once you get a PassMe2 and install FlashMe, you'll need to hold A+B+X+Y when you turn on your DS to boot the Supercard in DS mode. (This is a FlashMe hotkey; it forces the dS to try running DS code from the GBA slot.)
Manually signing your posts is dumb.

Firmware versioning: Get a Passcard 3, a SuperKey, or a slot-1 flashkit. Then it doesn't matter which firmware you have.

I know what you are talking about, romman fixed it againg so that only gba roms appear in gba mode, you could see both nds and gba roms on version 1.52. The roms are still there, you just can't see them. :wink:
