What do you do when you open a ROM from you're Supercard SD, and both of the screens just go white?
I really wanna play my ROM's.  :cry:

Are you running them through the supercard patcher first? Go to http://eng.supercard.cn and download the software. Then once its installed, run it and hit the Add button. Choose your Roms, then hit OUT.

Browse to the C:\program files\SC\out folder and copy the 2 files per game over to your supercard. They should start right away.

Add image to postupercard. They should start right away.

I've done exactly that. I open up the nds.dsq file in the list, then both screens just go white. Have I maybe missed something out? Perhaps, a flashing of my DS lite is needed ..?

EDIT: Maybe I need to update my firmware. Have you got a link to the latest one? That could be it..  :roll:

I have been trying to figure out whats wrong the whole day. Maybe I should start again. Like, programme everything all over again.

Is this every rom that you're trying, or just a few? It could also be the ROM itself that you got.. i've seen bad ones floating around.

Try turning off the DS, then hold L + R and turn it on to run the supercard tests. Keep pressing A until all the tests run and make sure you don't have any errors.

I took a picture of the screen after I turned off the DS, then back on to make the bottom screen have SuperCard DS.  On the bottom is the Tony Hawk ROM I put on to the SD card. The middle is the file I used to do the SRAM thing. And the top is .. I don't know. It says sram ite ( in card ). It has a wierd symbol after the sram bit.

Can this maybe help with whats wrong?

I couldn't upload the image, so I hosted it on imageshack. Please look at it.

And yes, every ROM I have tried, makes the screens go white. AND, the supercard is fine. When I did the test, everything got Ok!

Looks like something is corrupted. Have you tried reformatting the sd card? Also, what version is your supercard? Go through the steps i told you before to run tests. when they're done, it will tell you your supercard version.

It says SC Version: 1.62
And I have tried reformatting the card. A few times actually.

Is it something to do with my firmware? Because I don't think I updated it. Maybe that is the problem. Is there a link to all the firmware things please?

JimmyDodger

HUZZAH!!! I upgraded the firmware to 1.63 with the patcher, and it now all works!

Thank you so much for your help!
