I must say that i am happy with my supercard though, once romman sorts the save fuction it will be sweet, it must be hard work otherwise here would have released it buy now :?

Aslo like to see a gui version of this new patcher!

Got it working with SC CF mario and nintendogs at the moment.

Saved using normal in game save method (button combination not working).

Restarted em both and ive still got my mario and puppy saves.

This looks promising as it develops.

:edit: After playing mario, the nintendogs save has gone. So it must be using my asphalt cart in some way.

But at least the game is running. We are on the right track

to save "64k save" NDS games just copy a GBA .sav game to supercard with the Same name

Ex:

Rayman DS.nds
Rayman DS.sav

when you finished playing

quickly TURN OFF DS and TURN ON ... in Supercard menus Press RIGHT to enter in SAVER MENU ... chose the file rayman ds.sav and save your game..

Supercar automatly load the saved game when you load the rom!

I did exactly what you said with NFS2 but it did not load anything.

mozzer999 · September 21, 2005, 05:45:03 AM

Thanks dudu. of course.

Still no nintendogs saving then yet.

pokemon dash, pacpix, nfs2, ridge racer doesnt work for me either at all.

In supercard Menu OPTIONS ... see if AUTO LOAD SAVER is marked...

works fine to me!

i will test know if NFS2 to make sure!!!

ghaxaq · September 21, 2005, 05:51:06 AM

Yes it is already marked.

What I did was.

I loaded the game that I converted with the nds.gba patcher, then I entered my name and played one of the games.

In the slot I have Metroid Demo.

then I QPC and saved to a gba save witht the same name.
Then I just went to the main menu without QPC and run the game again.

But the new profile screen appeared again.

I guess its becouse this patcher not work very well with this game.. i cant even start a race... allways freezes... this rom with supercard patcher works very well!!!

cant make Ridge Racer work too!

mozzer999 · September 21, 2005, 06:04:52 AM

Just on/off saved nintendogs, and when i reloaded got the 'data corrupt' message, obviously cos its not 64k save.

Interesting though. If ronman creates patcher with ability for different size .sav files were are on a winner.

Dudu.exe · September 21, 2005, 06:13:14 AM

Look like this patcher inst perfect =]

QuoteIt also attempts to patch
the saving functions so that it can save on the flash cart's SRAM instead of
using the NDS card's SRAM.

it attempts... but in some cases it may fail =[

Dudu.exe · September 21, 2005, 06:23:17 AM

This QPC method work ... but not with all roms...

Look what i did to test it..

Castlevania.nds
Castlevania.sav

Played a little to reach the 1st save point, saved...

made the QPC ... saved on .sav file.

turn off DS for a couple of minuts ... Load another rom ( Zookeeper ) to make sure Castlevania is not more in SC RAM...

then i Load Castlevania and the save was there =]

I tried with nintendo dogs and it works, but the gba sav is only 64k and so saves only part of the data.

Do you remember the 2Mb gba sav thta someone created maybe it works? I cannot find it though any links everyone.

But yes it does work.
