NDSPatcher - Supercard SD woes

This is actually a continuation of my previous thread but I thought I'd make the title more specific.....

I just got my SC-SD this week. Can use it with the Supercard software without problem. However, I want to save to SD card, so I tried using ndspatcher.exe.

I got 2 sets of roms.
Set1: extension is *.nds - I can patch these but non works in Supercard.
Set2: supposedlt "patched". Extension is *.nds.gba - Unable to patch these (static black screen) but I rename them to *.nds and I can play them in NDS.

However, with set 2, everytime I tried to save - turn off and on quickly and select saver tab and save to *.sav file of the same name as rom - it saves to the NDS card slot. So, I seem to be getting  only 2 saves and then the 3rd one overwrites the 2nd one.

Also, when I use Metroid, I cannot save. I can only save using Mario64. This means games lilke Ridge Racer which require a profile created before you start the game first, cannot start.

I am unable to find out how I can save to the *.sav file in the SD card.
Does anyone have the same problem?

Until the firmwire update, it will not save to the CF/SD card. It is possible to run a NDSPatcher rom that is patched for SRAM and use the QPC method however, but only for a FEW games that can be patched to SRAM. I suggest you just wait, and save on real NDS games till the update.
