Hi, I think its best to start off with a list of what i have got:

White DS lite
Superpass DS 2 (with metroid pime hunters stuck in it, and loaded the metroid prime thing onto the superpass using the software)
Supercard SD (with the minisd memory card)

I am using a video tutorial on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ePwfuWoULQ&eurl=http://maxconsole.com/)

And so far i have taken off the battery cover, loaded the flashme.nds (v7) and Iqsram onto the minisd card. I start up the ds, it goes to the normal ds menu screen, i select the gba slot, supercard menu opens, select iqsram. It says ram loaded. Power it off, whack the superpass in the ds slot and reboot. This is the stage where the chap in the vid says to load the flashme programme but its not in the list, just the iqsram programme.

Its weird, the ds in the video boots straight into the supercard menu, even when i hold every button mine doesnt do that. Please help!!!!!!!!

I think its something about mine booting into gba mode, not into nds mode?? what can i do?

Thanks

I think it's possible you're doing the powercycle / inserting too slow. Or the superpass 2's not been programmed with the game info correctly.

Do i have to do anything else to the superpass 2, other than export the metroid prime data onto it from the superpass software? because it comes up with a dialogue box saying to save files to the sc card but i havent done that...

I dont think any of that is the problem. I think its to do with the fact my ds doesnt boot straight into the supercard, it goes into the standard ds menu, which then means i have to select the gba slot, which i guess means it goes into gba mode, which then means that i cannot play nds files (like flashme) as my ds has become a gba.... so what should i do?

Have you upgraded the firmware on you're Supercard ?  Otherwise try holding down XYBA (use thumb) on the power cycle stage, also put the superpass2 in after the save loaded message then power cycle straight away.
Yes I'm mad

if you've been getting the black sram loaded screen and it doesnt work then you should make sure:

1. your superpass is programmed properly
2. the sram files that you're using are matching your cartriage
3. your superpass is not in programming mode (the little black switch on the side that u flick back and forth b/t programming and using
4. you have the superpass all the way in (sometimes mine gets caught on my strap or something and doesnt register
5. your power cycle is fast enough (usually not the problem but sometimes...)

I have had a little play, and i think i have got a bit further.... I whacked my superpass 2 back in the dongle thing, reloaded the files onto it. Then found the relevant .gba and .sav files in the program folder (called something like AMFE-0.gba and .sav) and loaded them onto my minisd card. Now when i boot up my ds, the AMFE-0.gba shows up in the list. When i run that it loads the sram, says done, then i quickly power off, whack in the superpass2 and reboot, holding down all four buttons. It still goes into the ds menu and says nothing is in the ds slot.

However when i select to go into the gba slot, there is a new option in the list, called sramwrite(in card), and still the flashme.nds file doesn't show up. When i select the sramwrite program, it just hangs on a white screen... any ideas?

the simple way to flash it.
buy superkey or borrow one superkey.
u don't have all those problem above.
put superkey in ds or ds lite. run supercard with v7 and short sl1 and fininsh.
