To make your memory card faster, format it with big clusters :

Memory smallest or equal to 2Go have to be formated in FAT with 64ko clusters.
Memory bigger than 2Go have to be formated in FAT32 with 32ko clusters.

You will improve access time and perhaps decrease the lag and you will speedup the navigation in supercard's OS.

(don't forget to copy the µSD content before that ^^).

Well now that M3 has come out with a proper fix (no rom patching needed), hopefully it won't be long until the Supercard team does the same.

M3, Cyclo, iTouch have done it but on those linkers the hacked rom didn't work.

Don't know if people have seen this (taken from that other forum on a download site-hopefully I have removed anything that maybe a problem)

I. Acekard 2i => Worked on my NDS Lite with No Problem using Sandisk SDHC 8GB
1. Using OS AKAIO.1.4.1.PROPER_Repack_5-4-09 or Mirror Here
2. ak2loader (Replace in \__aio\loaders)
3. Play with PATCHED ROM xxxxxxxxxxx.nds

II. SuperCard DSONE(SDHC) => Worked on my NDS Lite with Some Problems using Sandisk 2GB
1. Using OS SuperCard DS ONE(SDHC) OS 3.0 SP8
2. In the file Browser go to Tab Menu OTHER => AUTO Set SD Speed
After that NDS will restarting and will show :
SD CARD speed may set to '5'!
Do you Save the value(s)?
Press 'A' key, it will save.
Press 'B' key, it will return.
3. Press 'A', after that NDS will restarting.
4. On Mario Icon Games, Press 'X' go to SETPATCH, CHECK ONLY Enable Patch and Enable DMA, Click SAVE.
5. Play with PATCHED ROM xxxxxxxxxxxx.nds

When you played for the 1st time it only showed White Screen, you must restart your DS and start again.
When you want to save your game there is problems with option "Save and Quit" and "Back to game" don't chose that option or your DS will be FROZEN.

III. EDGE => Worked on my NDS Lite with Some Problems using Sandisk SDHC 8GB
1. Using OS EDGE OS v1.5
2. Using Action Replay Codes with r4cce (R4 Cheat Code Editor) ver.0.86
3. Execute r4cce, open CHEAT.DAT from EDGE Card
4. Add Game
5. Game Title -Anything u want-
6. Game ID CLJE AE1362E1
7. Game Enable Check
8. Add Code => Code Title -Anything u want-
9. Code List :
52064138 E1A00005
5206413C E28DDE22
02064138 E3A00001
D0000000 00000000
D0000000 00000000
10. File => SAVE CHEAT
12. Delete Mario and Luigi Bowser.sav if exist
13. Play with Original ROM and Enable Cheat
or you can use this file Download CHEAT 090109 with Mario and Luigi : Bowsers Inside Story PATCH for EDGE

For EDGE user, Sometimes after you Saved Game your DS will be FROZEN and you must RESTARTING and LOADING again to play.

IV. M3i Zero & M3DS Real => Worked (Not tested by me)

2. Play with Original ROM

Changelog:
1. Fixed soft-reset function for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (U)

3. Fixed compatibility for Blood of Bahamut (J) and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (U)

For slow µSD card user.

You have to use the clean ROM (not the patched one !!)

Download the archive joined in this post (you have to be login to see it).

Extract it on your memory in the same directory of the game.

Rename the .scc file, both game and .scc file must have the same name.

Enable Patch & patch SD card  & patch saver & DMA & Cheat.

launch the game with the cheat ON.

Sometimes you will have some freeze but it's that or clean mode or waiting for a new OS or of course playing with your original game ^^.

Have fun.

anuarbin

wow it worked. even on my slow µSD this game can be played. Thanks!   :D
everybody else having problem should try. BTW Alfadir (or anybody), mind updating the cheat file with gameplay related cheat(assuming it exist). help is appreciated.

Hello , i have a supercard 1 SDHC with a 4gb memory kingston taiwan
and when i play the game frozen randomly

please help me

sorry mi bad english  ;D

@Alfadir-

I had tried that technique with the .scc file (compiled myself before AND tried yours to make sure) and it doesn't work properly. You can get ingame and past the title screen, but saving always freezes the game. You can still use ingame reset at these freezes funnily enough and the save will have saved properly, but you will not be able to pass the first battle with Bowser. You can beat him and the screen will go black forever. I have heard that it is possible to get past this battle and beat the game if you don't ever save, but that kills the game. Once you save, the first battle you get in after the save will freeze.

The only thing that has worked properly so far is playing the game manually patched with the cheat (using DSATM) on a fast microSD card with ALL options disabled. The game has some minor slowdowns and loading times, as well as some slight flickering on some of the animations, but it's playable. But this fix will only work for some people. You also have to remember to reenter the supercard firmware to back the save up. I lost two hours of progress on the game because I forgot to do this the other day while messing with the supercard settings and doing the self check (self check erases the current save from the PSRAM).

No other way for the moment.

@Any solution. The game freezes no more when I turn off patch saver. Ofcourse, there wont be a save file then. But I played 3 hours long without a freeze. Anyway hopeless.
Now still waiting for an update from SC team, while other flashcards (except R4) has the solution for these games (HG/SS too). >:(

Clean mode is when no option are checked.

Yes of course no other except R4, EDGE, DSTT...

Of course some have made new OS for that but this firmware come with a lot of other fix.

On DS One it's the only (popular) game with problem, it's not urgent to make an OS just for a game but be certain that it will come ^^.

Clean mode gives a fail message "Please wait while the game is loading" or a freeze at the first save block. I was looking for another solution actually.

Would be nice if the new OS has built-in moonshell 2 btw. Something the most up-to-date flashcards have, and it's pretty sweet.
Anihow, I'll wait, ofc. =3

With clean mode you have to choose manualy the size of the save file.

For this game it's 64k.


Yeah, I forgot which problem is which ^^"
Clean mode is that black screen problem (after battles and doors) and save block freezes.
I have the game on 64 size btw. Maybe I was sort of testing with other sizes orsomething when I wrote that post. w/e
Point is; it's not playable at some levels.
I hope they don't put those anti-piracy in later games like Kingdom Hearts and the newest zelda. Nah, ofc they do ;_;

Sorry for my bad(?) english.

I've not tried this, but a supermod over at the supercard chinese forums posted this patch you can apparently put in the scshell directory to get the game working-

http://bbs.supercard.sc/attachment.php?aid=3349&k=97eb7dd9e1f94bf0efcd3ca43f205631&t=1253784720&fid=13&sid=d7bbu1C3kIvlDiqi4csfUi76yEeIsXgbS%2FQaLfaVW1iHDRs

Options checked-
-enable patch
-patch speed
-DMA
-get patch from file (forgot what the exact wording was)

apparently you can have any options you want on now. I have NOT tested this yet, but it came from the makers, so give it a test. I believe you use this with a CLEAN rom. And you probably need to have an ndsinfo.dat with Mario's information in it to recognize the rom. Maybe not though, but there's someone on these forums that makes one if you do.

EDIT- yep, tested and it works. Got to saving and past the first battle. No freezes, no slowdowns, no loading, all working perfectly on my slow microSD. It just takes a little long to load the game up from firmware. Maybe 20 seconds or so, give or take some. Looks like it's finally fixed!  ;D
