Installing two different patchers at the same time?

tdh · April 12, 2007, 08:24:39 AM

I have both an SCSD and SCCF, and can't get both patchers enabled at the same time. If I install the SD patcher, I can create dsq files for the SCSD which work, and then if I install the CF patcher, I can create SCCF ROMs but can no longer create SCSD ROMs. The same happens vice versa.

I've tried installing them in different directories, and I've tried changing the saver patch mode in the ROM specific settings, but in fact it won't let me select the radio button for whichever is the least recently installed type of the patcher. I've tried running supercardsd.exe instead of supercardnew.exe but that doesn't help.

Currently the only way I can patch for both is to reinstall whichever patcher I need at the time before I use it then reinstall the other when I need to patch for the other card type.

they can be in the same directory C: program files, but
when installing the different patchers name them differently call one
sccf 2.58
and the other
scsd 2.58

then just make sure that the short cuts are named differently too
I have mine named
SCds258
SCsd258
and then name the shortcuts form shortcut to supercard to
SCds258 and
SCsd258

Yes, i did the same thing with SCDS1 SCLITE and SCSD. I had to rename the dir when installing. I will say that the radio buttons do get switched when i use the SCDS1 patcher and then go back to either of the other. Be aware of that, but it takes just a little clicking to get back to normal.

I use this method and it works fine.

Still not working, some of the above posts have been having the same symptoms as me and I think probably not working quiet right either

are the short cut names different too. because if you didn't rename them you will go to the one that was installed last. It does work, your just doing something that isn't right.

Yes, as I described, I get the same problem if I go to the actual directories, and run supercardsd.exe or supercardnew.exe

try renaming both to different names it looks like you renamed one and left the other default.
start menu folder has to be renamed and the install folder.
below is my set-up and I rename the short-cuts accordingly also and just use them to get to each of the different patchers.
