I want to play pokemon diamond and pearl, and Diddy kong racing (U) on my supercard SD, but the only thing I get is a white screen.
I got the newest firmware, 1.70, and tried both 2.56 and 2.58 software patcher program.
The only result: white screens.

Please help!

Do other games work with your SCSD? Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, as well as Diddy Kong all work fine with my SCSD, SCCF, SC miniSD, SC Lite, and SCDS (One).  With SCSD you will want to make sure and use the latest 1.7 firmware and 2.58 patcher software. Make sure you are patching "clean dump" ROMs. Backup your .sav files and start with a freshly formatted SD card.

1) verify "clean dump" roms with OfflineList or something
2) patch game roms with latest supercard patcher software (v2.58 )

3) use this list for best patcher software options

4) copy patched *.dsq and *.sav files to freshly formatted SD card
5) run patched files in DS mode

Let us know if you still get white screens.

I got white screens with firmware 1.63 and patcher 2.58 (the combo worked for most games to my surprise), but upgrading to 1.7 made it work correctly.  I haven't played it more than a few minutes, but I haven't gotten any freezes or save corruption yet.

Pokemon Pearl and Diddy are working already, but Diamond isn't. I guess formatting my card did the trick. I guess Diamond is just a bad dump, so i'll have to find a new rom.

@dantheman: i've already installed 1.70, so that's not the problem.

Thanks!  :D

Diamond is the one that I've got on my SC miniSD and it's working fine as far as I can tell.  I have about 45 minutes of gametime so far and it hasn't frozen or corrupted yet.  Not too sure what to tell you.  I used the default options and it just worked.

EDIT:  Interesting, I get white screens when exiting the WFC settings area.  I won't need to access them myself, but I guess I can be another user who confirms that this problem exists.
