I have got a problem: When i try to writesome NDS Roms to my CF card, it says Cannot copy (insert rom here). The device is not ready. What does that mean, and what can i do to fix it? I have written other DS games to my card...
This is not a problem with the Supercard, this is a problem with the ROMS/Reader

One thing that I still can't understand is how SD card speeds affect gameplay? If I'm using a 45X SD card, for example, would my games be "laggier" than if I use a higher-speed one? Or will any old SD card do fine?

The only thing SD card speed effects is how long it takes to transfer the data from the SD card -> the 256mbit on board ram on the supercard.

When i try to convert with GBA Movie Player 1.3, it crashes before it begins (i get the error "invalid video input") and if i use Movie Player 1.6, it converts fine. Can i use 1.6 with my supercard? And if not, what is the latest version i can use, or is there a way to fix the problem of this crashing? Thanks!

After playing with my Superpass2 a bit more, it just started to work! I honestly don't know what I could have done to change anything asside from reflashing it over and over.
However I'm not sure if there is an easier way to use it... At the moment, to run the supercard in DS mode I need to turn on the DS without the DS game (Mario Kart) inserted into the superpass2, select GBA mode, run the agb0.gba file (cant remember the exact name!) insert the DS game back into the Superpass2, turn the DS off then on quickly. Then it will start in DS mode from the Supercard.
I have to do this everytime I turn it off for more than a few seconds of if it crashes trying to run scumvm or another program... Is this normal? Does the superpass1 require this?

Cheers!

What about for games that run from the SD itself?

Hi, i just bought this device and had my DS NTR001 Flashed at the same time after reading this excelent review and Faq/Guide.

I have a general question about it thoug which i cant seem to find answers to, before anyone flames me though i have no documention with the unit so have to work it out on my own.

Q. Dig Dug, Sonic, and mario kart are supposed to work but i get an ' Error with game date ' and im told to re insert the game and try again.


Im pretty sure its something im not doing properly but now im totally lost.

Please can someone explain or help me ?


Many thanks
