edit: tried to mod again, only wud let me flash as cf, not sd have u got the right flashmp??

I am not totally sure, as I don't know spanish, but from what I read on the original forum all this was posted on, if it sees your SD as a CF, its okay to flash it because the byte addresses are the same, just make sure you use the SD firmware.

Just don't hold me to that, but if it works, let me know and I will note it in the guide. :)

looks amazing

I don't think there is going to be one for SCL, at least not until someone figures out how to dump the SCL firmware.

i used my own dumped firmware, it still flashed as cf.. wierd

Allrighty, I updated the SCZ.zip lump file and updated the guide to include this change.

Some Supercard SD's (and CFs) show up in the second position on the list. The flashmp file contains 3 firmwares for each one of these positions. I had the "compiler.bat" set up to inject the modified firmware into the 3rd position only. So I modifyed the "compiler.bat" to inject the firmware into both the 2nd -and- 3rd postions. So if your supercard CF/SD shows up in the second position, it will work now. Just press the propper, corisponding buttons to start the flashing process.  :)

If it messed it up for whatever reason, you need:

A second flash card or a wifi connection set up with wifime

and

Darkfader's original flashmp.nds to reflash your cart.

Hopefully it should not cause anyone any more trouble, however. I had a few mistakes earlier that I think we have hammered out now.  :oops: Just make sure to re-download scz.zip if you had an old one.

My bad. fixed now. You can renab them in my post above (be sure to refresh the page first) or re-download the lump.  Forgot to set the background color.

Thats what I get for posting banners I didn't test first. :3 I am apparently the king of little mistakes!

wow fast reply, thanks VERY much. also, is there a way to do what you just done WITHOUT photoshop?

Sure, any graphics editor that lets you customize the pallet can do it. I just don't use anything other than photoshop, so can't really suggest any. Maybe try paintshop or gimp.
