getting GBA games working on my DS lite

I didn't want to start a new topic for this as there are probably heaps but all the ones I saw could not help me. I don't know why but I have had extreme difficulty with getting GBA roms working on My Supercard SD on the DS Lite, I have tried them patched with supercardsd 2.55c and tried them not patched. Without them being patched they come up with the game boy screen and then it goes white. when patched the gameboy screen comes up however the nintendo logo at the bottom is distorted and it stays there. I've looked at most threads regarding this matter and still can't get them to work.

So do I need to patch the .GBA rom using supercardsd v 2.55c?

If so what settings are advised and what files need to be on the SD card to work?

Can you play an unpatched .gba file?

If you play a rom on an emulator such as visualboy advance can you get the .sav file created by that to work on the DS?

I have a feeling this should be simple with the explanations on the Supercard site and other various places however I can't get it working :?

No, just patching the GBA files should work fine. I do believe that you do not have good rom dumps, which is why they are not working for you. Get ahold of a No-Intro romset, and try again.

Nintendo Wii - cIOS38 Revision 12 (and more)

some roms dont want to work (the 2 in one packs like to crap out on me sometimes)

but you can try to patch it without compression/cheat/rts and see if it works (i had the same problem as you with the old patcher but the 2.55 one is fine (upgraded to a sc lite and it hasnt failed yet...)

cheers that helped heaps.
Just the second question:
If you play a rom on an emulator such as visualboy advance can you get the .sav file created by that to work on the DS?
I noticed that the save patch in the supercard program doesn't work but there are lots of threads on that I'll search
