I just ordered the DS SuperCard and SuperPass online a couple of days ago, and I'm waiting for them to come.

While I've been waiting for them, I've been skimming around trying to get everything ready for when they arrive. I just have a couple of questions that I'd like clarified because I couldn't find clear answers for them.

When I try to convert DS ROMs in the SuperCard prog, under 'Compress,' 'Save,' 'Cheat,' and 'Restart,' it says No, and when I try to go to Properties, it just give me a menu that has 'Saver Patch' checked as 'DS Card' and 'ROM Position Patch' checked as 'Super Card.' (It also won't let me check/uncheck anything) Is this normal? When I do GBA games, it gives me the Properties and everything.

Also, when I try to convert the following games, I get the .nds.dsi file, and it's 0 bytes.

Table Hockey e3 Demo - 839KB
Zelda Gallery e3 Demo - 1.77MB
Submarine Tech e3 Demo - 1.6MB

They're all obviously from the e3 Demo pack. I'm just wondering why these come out as 0 byte files, because I got the Electroplankton e3 Demo to come out fine...

One more thing:

After I compile the .gba files from Goomba, SNESAdvance, and PocketNES, can I just put those straight onto the card, or will I have to convert those in the SuperCard prog first as well?

Thanks!  

P.S. If anyone has any extra SD cards that they're willing to sell, let me know!

the three demo roms are not commercial "clean dump roms" that is why the supercard software doesn't process them correctly.

all you have to do is make sure they are the ds.gba version (not the wifi .nds version) and rename them as .nds

they will work without patching.  They do for me, anyway.

Oh, I only found the .nds ones. Can you send me the working ones?

Thanks!

to take the wireless multiboot .nds file and get a working .ds.gba file use this:
dsbuild_1.21_CLI.zip
follow the instructions in the zip file

once you do have the ds.gba then rename it to .nds and put it on your CF/SD and it should work great.

Thanks cory!

BTW, can you answer my last question too?
