sd supercard with gameboy mirco

syphon, what games have you played specifically? I have tried the Super Card SD with 2 different GBM with the same results. I've tested 60 games and 36 of them crashed at intro or within a few minutes into the game. which firmware are you using? I'm having trouble believing that yours work perfectly when there are so many reported issues of the same games not working for everyone else.

I've tried about 10 GBA games so far. Same behavior as on my DS and normal GBA (i.e. perfectly, no crashing).
Post what failed for you. We can try to replicate on our end.
I'm using normal Sandisk 256MB SD Cards, non-high-speed.

there's a list of some of the games I've tried in the link in my sig. I don't want to break any forum rules by posting it in here.

I could never get AW2 to play in my Supercard SD but I've been playing Zelda Minish on my GBM with absolutely no issues. I'm even doing realtime saves. I don't know why you're having issues but I have the absolute EXACT game behavior in all my 3 Nintendo portables (DS, normal SP and the GB) with the Supercard SD.

yea Minish Cap is random. Some days I can get 10-15 minutes of playtime in and other days no more then 3-5 minutes without crashing. Maybe it was a bad dump?

AW2 doesnt work anywhere after what i heard. crashes after sound issue in the menu

lets say it that way

i tested & confirmed #2,3,5,7,9,10 from your list and they all work without any problems for hours

BUT

7,9,10 have slowdowns

for 7 it runs constantly slightly slower than the original game

for 9 it has slowdowns mostly in road turns dont know why, but works better than on sp because there the characters where invisible ?!

for 10 at least part 2 and 3, 2 works fine but on some places its got slowdowns, 3 got minor slowdowns at very few parts

i can say i tried about 50 and 3 of them have slowdowns (which i named) and i think 2 dont work (one of them is known not to work on supercard, means it works but crashes at beginning of a "game")

please give me some names of games that absolutely DO NOT boot on your card and i will supply a pic with this game running on a micro

Gameplay pictures of King of Fighters EX 2 or Metroid Zero Mission would be awesome. I thought that the SD card might have been defective but everything runs perfectly on my GBA SP2. thanks

elsewhere i was able to acquire the following pictures (click to enlarge)
i also heard from a certain source that it runs with absolutely no slowdowns

what you see running there is the european multi5 version! always try different language versions (as english is included in the most cases) - from what i heard broken sword european multi5 version did not boot while us version (which also contains these 5 languages) does fine.

then there are games that do not work in any way, like banjo kazooie, this one freezes at the disclaimer text after patching it with SC soft, doesnt matter if its the european or us version
