i just got my supercard sd and flashed it with 'mysd_for_NDS_PassMe.bin'. Now i want to upgrade to 1.52. but the file extension is .scu and when i put it in my sd card, it doesn't show up when i boot up my sc. so how do i upgrade to 1.52? do i just leave it inside the sd?


another thing is about saving. i enabled saving, restart and compress but not realtime save. saver patch is enabled but not extra saver.
problem is that i cannot save into my sd card in-game when i hit L+R+A+SEL. i have to press L+R+SEL+START to exit the game-> go saver-> select the .sav and save->restart rom. the roms are patched on 2.42 patcher. but i can't save castlvania:AoS and HoD using the above method. Anyone can help?

Leave the file name as upgrade.scu and put it in the root dir of the SD card. SC should automatically see the file when you turn the system on and ask if you want to upgrade (at least that's what it did for me. I just got my card a couple days ago too ^_^)

make sure you boot into gba not with passme
Supercard SD, Sandisk 2 GB, AData  256 MB
Supercard One - 512MB Transcend
Pink DSL with flashme v8a Org-FW  haven't checked

Does it matter? I booted with my superpass in DS mode and I updated my firmware without any problems.

i left it in my sd card root but my gba had no reaction when it boot up.

i'm using a gba btw.

That was in reference if you had a DS. In a DS with the pass me in, it automatically boots the DS into DS mode.

And that's odd... even files that aren't firmware come up with that prompt on my DS as long as the filename is UPGRADE.scu.

i don't think that the upgrade helps gba users. :(

oh.
so gba can only use up to 'mysd_for_NDS_PassMe.bin'?

what about saving? anyone encountered not able to hit L+R+SEL+A in game?
