I got my superpass2 and supercard all work great this weekend.

How do you save NDS game progress? do you have to do anything?

Can you reset NDS games back to the supercard menu without a QPC?

If you use a superpass3 (small slot one styles superpass) instead of a the bulky superpass2, do you ever have to take it out?

Also my bat life sucks a fat one now (small price to pay i guess).

Just save, normally.

If you enable "Reset" while patching, L+R+A+Start+Select while in-game will return you to SC's root menu. QPC is meant to be used for saving in some GBA games with certain saving functions enabled/disabled when patched.

If your DS' not flashed, turn it on and wait till it enters SC's menu. You can now remove your passcard, as your DS is already in NDS mode.

Flash your DS. It's better to rely on a passcard, IMO. If it's Phat, it's easy as heck to do it. If it's Lite, you have to be a little more careful when making the short circuit, but still it's easy.

Just save like normal

as long as u patched with enable restart, then pressing l+r+a+b+x+y should reset you to the menu, however it can be buggy

If you use a superpass3 (small slot one styles superpass) instead of a the bulky superpass2, do you ever have to take it out?
no, and afaik they use less battery power too

To save an NDS game, you do as you would with your regular games. That is to use the save feature that the game has. For example you will be able to save by pressing start or at a checkpoint (it is all dependent on that title)

To get back to the supercard menu or the current games title screen during an NDS game by pressing Left Trigger, Right Trigger, A, B, X, Y butttons at the same time. I do not do this, since for me it is easier to just turn off and on the ds.

I have a superkey (superpass3) in my dslite and you never have to take it out, unless you want to put in another game in the slot.

I do not know what the consumption of battery life the superpass2 uses. I have one but only used it once to flash my daughters DS phat.

Hope this helps

That is great, 3 replies!

Awesome, thanks for the info. I have phat blue DS. I love using this thing.
I think im going to invest in a superkey. The superpass2 is clunky and I have to take it out before I cold boot the DS to get back into NDS mode.
I also dont like the idea of flashing my DS and losing compatibility with singlecart multi-play.

other way round, it INCREASES compatibility to recieve download play games

but I thought once flashed, I can no longer host a single cart game with non-flashed ds's?

Well... Devil_Spawn is kinda confused, I guess. It does increase compatibility up to certain point, just because it allows you to use it with other flashed DSs. But, in the other hand, is a little handicap when using it with non-flashed DSs.
It does increase compatibility from one side, but it takes what it gives from another  :roll:
If you have no problem with battery running dry too soon, then don't flash it if you don't want to. But, if you use several options that make battery die sooner (DMA, fastrestart/prefatching patches, high volume, high brightness level, etc.), you may want to flash it in order to reduce the battery impact.
