Hi guys/gals,

i have the following situation:

DSL
Supercard Lite microSD
1 Gig Sandisk microSD FAT formatted with a couple of roms on it

If i test the Supercard Lite i get:
Test SRAM ok
Test SDRAM ok
Flash ID ok
Flash ok
SD/MMC ok
SC Version 1.63

The roms are patched with 2.55c

What happens is this:

When I select a rom it takes about 5-10 seconds to load
and i see the counter going up to 32768, which i think is normal.
Those games run fine with no problems whatsoever.

Problem is, if a game has a size of not exactly 32768 the DSL whitescreens.

For example, my Advance Wars Rom is well above 64000 and the supercard only loads up to 32768 and then white screens.
(it also only displays 32768 possible bytes to load which is irritating)

what could be the problem? i think it has something to do with the supercard not recognizing the larger roms. but i have used the latest firmware and newest patcher??

pls help :)
thanks

When you patch the rom, when you double click on the rom, it should have the option ofloading the rom from the SD or through the SC chose SD than it'll stream play off the SD card, the problem you are having it That your trying to load 64 meg of file into the SC's 32 meg ram........ and that doesnt work out so well ;) but patchgin it to stream off the SD will work wonders, it should be how you run all roms, its what i do.
