yes the sd card is in FAT format and like i dunno how to get the firmware updates to work i drag and drop the .bin thing to my sd and put it in the sc and in my ds with a superpass and all i get is white screens

You are not supposed to have the superpass in when upgrading firmware- run it in GBA mode and then update. It will ask if you will want to update, and it will show your current firmware. And also you have to patch the GBA roms before you put them on your SD card. You can get the latest patching software from the downloads section.
At least thats what I think you should do. :lol:

Yes, that is gba mode. Did you run your roms through the latest supercard patcher before you put them onto the sd card. Also make sure that you are up to date with your firmware on the SC. Hold L and R and choose the gba slot or if you have a gba turn it on while holding L and R buttons that should bring you to a self test mode which will tell you if there is a problem with your supercard. After the gameboy logo disappears let go of L and R button you should be in self test mode for the SC. press A button to do each test and then press B button to go to the SC menu.

GBA Mode is when you DONT have the superpass inserted, so only the supercard is in the GBA Slot of your DS, or you can just put the supercard in a GBA SP. You have to run the .bin file or whatever file it is to update the firmware. If it is in GBA Mode, it will only have one screen in use, and the other one is blank, unlike when you have the superpass inserted, and you run GBA game and there is a white screen and a normal screen.
