Hi!!!!

I recently bought my SuperCard SC and when i insert it into my GB Micro it says:

not find the SD
Please turn off GBA

But if i insert the SuperCard into a GB SP or GB Advance, it works fine.

WHAT IS WRONG??????

I'm using firmware 1.52. Tried to downgrade to 1.50 but can't find the file.

My GB Micro is an european model, number OXY-001.

Thanks for your help!!!

you need to format the sd card in FAT filesystem not FAT32

I've done so, with a normal formatting (not fast) and it doesn't work.  :(

Any other solutions, please????????

Thanks for your help.

Some SCs don't work with the Micro. I think it was the ones manufactured in a particular month, or before a particular month, or something.

Firmware versioning: Get a Passcard 3, a SuperKey, or a slot-1 flashkit. Then it doesn't matter which firmware you have.

how recently did you buy it?  and from where?

I heard that some people were able to do an exchange, when theirs arrived and didn't work in their micro.

Dudu.exe

Olders CF Supercard do not work with micro!

sneef

Why do some cards not work with the micro.  Isn't it just a different shaped Advance?

The problem seem your SD card. If the SuperCard would not work , it would not tell u to insert a sd , maybe its your sd that is not compatible

No, it's actually a bit different... for instance, it can't play GB/CGB games.

Also, some other things don't work with it, like the E-Reader.

The quality control sticker says 10-2005.

Bought it trough ioffer.com, to a seller there. Just two weeks ago.

Which ones DO work on a GB Micro????

Thanks again, mate!!!

As i say on another reply, the quality control sticker says 10-2005.

Any clue about which ones DO work on GB Micro???

No, I don't remember the exact dates, but I do remember that some didn't work in the micro and some didn't work in the DS.

This is from Supercard.cn official site:

QuoteUpdate(2005.09.20):SuperCard Can be used on GBM
   

Important: From the user reported and our tested report. SD version totally can run on GBM. But CF version which selled before August have problem run on GBM. CF version which selled after can totally run on GBM. This is GBM changed some hardware design make this problem on SuperCard.

so supposedly the problem only affected older CF supercards.  Maybe you should contact the ioffer seller, and let them know that it won't work in your micro.  no need to mention that you have another device to play it on.  just see if they would mind exchanging it for a new one.  You could let them know you've tried it on a GBA SP and it worked (so they know it's not a problem with your SD card).  just a suggestion
