I just got my Supercard SD, Superkey, Kingston 1GB SD, Card Reader in the mail today and Im getting a white and black screen when I try and play roms  . I downloaded some drivers and firmware updates from http://eng.supercard.cn/soft_sd.htm and Im still getting a white and black screen error. Can some one point me in a direction for a step by step walk through of how to get my roms working? They are unrared and in .gba format when I move them to the SD card.

The firmware update should come with a setup file to setup the Supercard patcher.  Have you run your games through that yet?

litch

Yes, I ran the roms through the supercardsd program that was installed from setupsdV258en in the setupsdV258en rar file. I unchecked enable add cheat and enable restart in the options menu.

And are you sure you're picking up the games from the directory you specified in the options?  Be default, patched games will appear in the "C:\Program Files\SC\out" directory.  It doesn't return them to the original location of the rom.  This might not be the issue, but it's possible.

Also, just to test, try enabling only regular saving, with no other options, and make sure that you're not just using a game that is known to not work on the SC.

Ya Im sure Im getting the right games. I even made a folder on my desktop called "ported" and pointed the program to the folder and Im grabing the roms from there after I patch them.

How would I cehck to make sure the game is known to NOT work? And which save option should I only enable? "Enable save" with/without more saver, "Enable saver patch", or "enable real time save".

I just tried bomber man classic (Im testing the classic games because they load within 2-5 seconds) and I still get just a black screen.
