My Supercard SD comes in the mail tomorrow and I'm looking into how I'm supposed to update my firmware. I'm trying to be cautious, as I heard about people's Supercard's being bricked by a certain update.

This is the page where I'm looking at downloads: http://eng.supercard.cn/soft_sd.htm

Is this the correct firmware update I need?: http://eng.supercard.cn/download/setupsdV255Cen.rar

That was from the Supecard website under the SD section, and it's titled " SOFTWARE: SuperCard SD & MiniSD V2.55 C & Firmware V1.63b (Fixed V1.63 update problem.)" Is this the correct update that I need?

Also, is this the correct patcher i need?: http://eng.supercard.cn/download/setupsdV256en.rar

It's titled "SOFTWARE: SuperCard SD & MiniSD V2.56"

Also, how do I go about udating the firmware of the Supercard SD?

And is there anything else I should know before I use my Supercard SD?

Yes, you have the correct files.  You can also find the files here . . .

All you need to do is put the sd_163.bin file on your Supercard SD, and then select it from the Supercard menu.  That's it, it's very easy.  Just don't turn off your DS during the process.  When the firmware upgrade is done you can remove the sd_163.bin file from your SD card.

The patcher software is a standard Windows setup.

Cool, thx for the help. And the quick response!

are there any other important files I should be aware of and get so I can use them?

Don't patch homebrew with the Supercard patcher software.  With homebrew use the Magic Homebrew Patcher v0.2.
