Did you update the supercard firmware in GBA mode?

Help us help you by checking your DS version . . .

The following procedures should work with your hardware setup.

Update supercard firmware . . .
1) remove superpass from DS
2) format SD as FAT (not FAT32)
3) copy latest supercard firmware bin file (v1.61) to SD

4) put SD into supercard, put supercard into DS, power on DS
5) select DS option "Start GBA game" to start supercard in GBA mode
6) you should now see the supercard menu, yes?
7) select and run supercard firmware bin file

Test supercard+superpass in DS mode . . .
1) put superpass2 switch in up position

2) insert superpass (and game) into DS, then power on DS
3) you should now see the dual screen supercard logo menu, yes?

Patch "clean dump" game roms . . .
1) verify game roms with Nintenren software
2) patch game roms with latest supercard patcher software (v2.52)

3) use this list for best patcher software options

4) copy patched *.dsq and *.sav files to SD
5) run patched files in DS mode

Let us know at what point you run into problems, if any. Good luck.

I really appreciate the help the only problem is I have supercard CF and superpass 1. Now I reformatted my card updated to 1.61.
The card works fine in my GB Micro but when i put it in my DS it doesn't say "Start GBA game" it says "There is a DS Option Pak inserted" and when I select it nothing happens.But if I put my GBAMP ver.2 in it plays no problem. I dont know what to do.

Correct me if I'm wrong folks, but I believe the "There is a DS Option Pak inserted" message appears when the original (older) supercard firmware hasn’t been upgraded.  Try re-flashing the firmware on the supercard with your GB Micro.  Also, examine the GBA contacts on the supercard/DS.

This is just another simple read error, if the nds sees that there is a gba card in the slot, yet is does not respond normally it thinks that it must be a rumble pack or somthing.
This problem is usually caused by bad connection between the supercard and the nds.
clean the contacts, especially those on the nds.
