I wanted to use QPC saving on my GBA games to help speed them up a little.. but it wasn`t working... it turns out the 1.70 firmware disabled that feature... so i downloaded the 1.63 firmware from this site... and  after i installed it ... the menu is now unreadable ( all distorted colors but i can blindly navigate it) no games will load, and when i try to upgrade the firmware back to 1.7 all i get is two white screens... i suppose this is a good chance to switch to a 1 slot card but i still  want to get this to work... if possible


edit: sorry for putting this in the wrong forum..

Look the supercard site

# 1. Format a MicroSD card.
# 2. Copy the firmware V1.7 file on it. Don't copy any other files.
# 3. Insert the MicroSD card and SuperCard Lite.
# 4. Open the DS power switch, don't care about the screen and wait 5 seconds.
# 5. press "A" button. You will find out that you can upgrade to V1.7

holy cow it worked... that 5 seconds really makes a difference... thank you dudu... just one question... is it safe to try and go back to 1.63 again?... or should i just put up with the slowdown?

Don't even try to reflash if it isnt needed.  I have read too many post about people flashing when they didnt need to.  It usually ends up in tears.

one should also mention that you cannot downgrade to the 1.63 firmware.  it is an upgrade firmware and not a full like 1.7.  if anyone has 1.63 firmware on their supercard lite and a means to dump it plz pm me.

If my sclite unit (when it arrives) has v1.63, I'll dump it and let you know.
