Ok, i bought a supercard sd. I was all hyped up, ready to play all the games i had gotta all ready for it... but when i put the supercard in the DS (after putting all the files on my SD ofcourse). what i get is the "Supercard DS" logo on the bottomscreen, the top screen flashes and goes white.

"thats odd..." i thought.

so i looked on the forum, and somebody mentioned holding L+R to check things (i'm not sure exactly what he said). Anyway, i hold L+R when i boot it up, it reads that everything is ok, sram, sd/mmc card... untill it comes to Firmware:. I'm assuming naturally it should say what firmware version i have correct?. well instead of saying a number, instead there's just a black box...

odd again...

does anybody have any clue whatsoever of what i should do? i tried putting the 1.6 upgrade on the card.. no response, same problem. I tried putting the oldest (1.5) on the card... same again!

any help would be greatly appreciated...
-thanks

Edit: I've tried reformatting my SD card. and I've also tried testing the SC in my GBA SP. No success

EDIT: I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, like i said i tried the newest and the oldest firmwares.. but those are .bin files... then i tried 1.52 which is a .scu file and my supercard recognized it!! YAY, so now it said

current version: (garbled letters)
upgrade version: 1.52

i upgraded it and now it works fine :)

for some reason the firmware was messed up on it originally... but its fixed now, thanks for anybody who even thought of a possible answer to my problem.

thanks for posting that my SC is on the way and now I know how to fix this issue if I run into it. So hope that helps.
