Boot Menu Blank? [Supercard SD]

Ok, I took out my gba roms out of my SD media stick and replaced them with new ones. Next, I popped it back in the Supercard and went to GBA mode. Oddly enough the menu shows no roms at all. The menu I'm talking about is the default one with the List, Saver, Options, and Help on top of the screen. My version is 1.63b I think, and even if it wasn't I cant run any upgrades cuz they dont show up on the menu. The self check is all OK except for this part: Test SD/MMC --> SD/MMC ok! --> not find test file

What is this "test file"? And will reformatting my SD do any good? I'm getting my SuperKey later this week and somewhere on the forums I've read about this nds homebrew that can reflash my Supercard (if my problem is indeed a firmware one) to like 1.5 or something like that.

Any help would be much appeciated. :o

The homebrew application that will reflash your Supercard is DarkFader's FlashMP.

(there is another flashmp by ChrisM that is only useful with GBAMP)
You shouldn't need to use DF's FlashMP unless your supercard is completely unusable "bricked".  You should be able to re-flash your supercard using one of the Supercard firmware updates.

Also, I have noticed with some Windows applications (Roxio) will do weird things with folder security.  This can cause strange behavior when copying folders with files directly to SD/CF, as the folders may appear empty in the Supercard menu.  If this happens you can manually create folders on your SD/CF and then copy files to the newly created folders.
