Any ideas why my SuperCard SD has problems with save patching on your custom firmware (Save Type Patch Error)? Could it be also related to this, the different flash chips on the newer carts?

I don't know yet why that happens for you.
And that's unlikely. The flash chip only stores the firmware data, and using a different flash chip should only matter while trying to install the firmware.
Ok it makes sence. By the way the scfw its working normal for now and the Cfw kernel also working good saves, patching,and all that. I talked to the ally Express store that i buy it from and i did get a answer.aparently they pre installed the 1.85 allready.metroid maniac you were right but as long this error dont affect anything other than upgrade i should be fine right?
Just checked a spare Supercard I own which I bought about 2 weeks ago which also has flash id c2ba. Looks like these are becoming more common in the wild.
True. Sc is Great look what I'm playing perfectly fine

Hello everyone ! I was very happy to see that there are still people creating and moving the gba scene. I have downloaded this software with the intention of playing on my gameboy advance and there is no way... I have been totally stuck checking the forum for two days and I can't get any game to work. Does anyone have a step by step explanation to do everything? I also tried to revert my supercard in order to test how it came from base but I continually get a message that says c2ba error...
Please help me, im desperate...

I second that. Because the custom firmware automatically patches the ROMs for you, you no longer need to patch them using the SuperCard software. If you do, it will cause problems (Mostly glitched Nintendo logo, you'll get stuck on bios screen). As mentioned, you only need to put your ROMs to your SD card and simply load them using the CFW
Thank you both very much for responding. So specifically, the card should have the cfw content in the root and a folder called gba that includes the games in .gba format, right?

I have done what I mentioned before and I get this screen and it doesn't go away from there. When you turn it off and on again, the screen goes completely blank.

So, I took a look at the new Supercard which gives the "flash id cb2a" error.
It looks like this is already completely compatible with the existing flashing code, and is even recognised as a compatible chip by SCFW already. Only the original firmware does not recognise this chip.
Since everything already works, you can use SCFW's firmware installer instead of the official installer to revert to the original firmware. The original firmware is attached to this post.
This original firmware will be bundled in future releases for convenience, but for now you can download it directly if you happen to have a newer Supercard and want to revert to stock.

I had one of these cards lying and decided to give it a go.
So far im impressed, its amazing that I can use my SDHC cards. I ran a few games, everything except Zero Mission works so far (but that prolly already got reported). Thanks for your time making this even tho im prolly not using this much over my EZ Flash ODE.
Happy to see what u can make with this in the future!

I have a question. When I tried to flash my first SuperCard with the CFW it got bricked and now stays on a white screen after boot. We discussed this on the github page and we couldn't do anything about it because I didn't have a DS. But now I finally have it and I have a second SuperCard too. The only thing I'm missing is a flashcart for DS. My question is, can I unbrick the cartridge without the R4 card, just with the other SuperCard or do I need to buy the DS flashcart to actually unbrick it. Thanks.
So what exactly this does? Bypass the id error?

How are we supposed to flash this fw with you kernel? Or with a r4 or something? My sc its just fine but i just want to confirm in case something happened to my card

I think I bricked the supercard. Since yesterday after the game boy advance letters, a white screen appears and nothing else can be done. I have formatted the SD several times and it's still the same...

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
-
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
