Hi i have a problem
when i play any DS game and close down the flip screen
i goes into sleep mode but awekens after 1 second (with screen closed)
its like turnning on/off ....on/off but very fast all by itself with closed scren
i cant put any of my games to sleep mode
did any 1 encounter this problem


Using Supercard SD , Flashed DS Phat V3 with V7 firmware
Latest SC firmware + Latest patcher

That's because you have nothing in your Slot-1. :P

You can put any game or passcard in there and sleep mode will work.

PlayerX

yes thank you
so that superkey is not useless after flashing
now another thing , does superkey draw much power from the ds
its flashed but sometimes i wanna use sleep mode,
lets say full 100% of game time how much of it does Superkey draw in %

It's actually a somewhat well-known fact that leaving a Superkey/other NoPass device in the slot will reduce the battery life by a noticeable level.  It's probably only an hour or so, but it's not 1%.  I haven't really experienced it myself since most of my SC time is spent on homebrew, so I can leave slot-1 empty.

This could just be a stupid coincidence - sue me.  When I put my Mario 64 game in my slot 2 for the sole purpose of using it for sleep mode, my saves got corrupted.
