Just as the title indicates,i have problem with saving.I have downloaded a .sav file,but i cant's use it,because mu supercard saves the game to the dsq file,not to the sav file.Do you know how can i change this?

It's not possible for the Supercard to save to the DSQ file as far as I know.  Didn't you copy over a *.sav file when you copied over the patched DSQ file?  What happens when you just put the downloaded save file in the same folder as the DSQ file and rename it to match the rom?

Nothing,it kept loading from the dsq file!!!!
Look,to prove my theory i tried this...
Started a new game (the game i play is phoenix wright),and saved my progress.THEN i deleted the .sav file that is in the same directory.The result?The saved game was still there!!!!So i think something is switched so it loads and saves to the dsq file?WTH?

Some people have reported that the Supercard retains their save files in memory somewhere.  It's not saving to the DSQ file, but it is being saved somewhere else.  Last time I checked, we didn't know where it was saving them. 

Try playing another game to hopefully clear out the Supercard's memory of that game before messing with the *.sav files.  It probably won't work, but it's worth a shot.

when you patched your rom you probably had the setting saver type "supercard" set, which keeps the save inside the same file as the game.

It doesn't have a "supercard setting".It has an "SD card" and an "DS card" setting.I have selected the "SD setting"

FIXED.Just had to flush the supercard temp memory.

Delete if you have to.
