    Homebrew GBA GBA Exploader on modern libnds...

    Yeah it has the same slowdown that the others have...I think they all have this issue? It's an inherent flaw with the SuperCard carts I think. Not sure on the Pokémon games. Never tested that aspect of it.

    Skyward Sword HD randomizer announced with release date and trailer

    I've enjoyed the Switch version of this game. The controls aren't that bad. Though they really missed the mark with recentering motion controls. Games like Breath of the WIld handle this pretty well. Motion controls for that game for example recenter the moment you pull an item out that uses it...

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    From what I can the MicroSD Lite is completely flash based most likely. I don't have MicroSD inserted at all in mine and games can still retain saves so MicroSD is not used at all for that. It's limited to 64KB though. I've read it's because of how the flash has to be addressed and it has to do...

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    Oh cool. So what modifications did you do besides renaming the frm file it uses? Did it work in normal mode or did you have to put it in SCLite mode? EDIT: Oh wait you did mention using regular mode. So yeah the SD and MicroSD version are the same then. Just the SC Lite is unique I guess. :P

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    The official recovery tool restores 1.85 version firmware on the target slot-2 card it was designed for. I haven ot tried flashing official firmware dumps via sckill because I don't have any regulard non lite versions of SuperCard to test the original flash code on. The SCLIte flash code can't...

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    Maybe with regular SuperCards. Not on SuperCard LIte though as I haven't been able to get it to write past 0x50000. But SC has official NDS recovery programs anyways so you don't really need to use SCKILL for that. ;) EDIT: Actually the non Lite MicroSD version doesn't appear to have a...

    Read and Write roms to a GBA Flash cart's Mini SD card with an R4 and a DS Lite

    Oh yeah this all assumes you'd primarily be using the SuperCard MiniSD on your DS/DS Lite. If you intend to use it on a GBA then yeah you'll have to get the MiniSD stuff sorted out.

    Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

    @metroid maniac I got SC Lite fw flashing to work properly now! Attached the improved build below. I set it so D-PAD toggles between regular and "Lite" mode. (must select it before hitting A or B). The scfw boots up and doesn't hang on white screen like my initial attempts with modified GBA...

    Need help getting a file from ds-scene.net

    Was it this patch? I was able to access the file after altering an existing download page link to point to this one instead: http://www.ds-scene.net/?s=download&viewfile=396b276f2318e5de6733ba7199b7006b I took different download page for something unrelated and replaced it's download ID (that...

    Homebrew GBA GBA Exploader on modern libnds...

    https://github.com/ApacheThunder/GBA-Exploader/releases/tag/0.62 Directory tree no longer displays both "." and ".." at the top. Like original GBA Exploader only ".." is the top directory entry when in a sub folder. The "." entry is a special entry provided by FAT for going to "current"...

    Read and Write roms to a GBA Flash cart's Mini SD card with an R4 and a DS Lite

    Assuming the SuperCard SD MIni uses the same mode switch code (pretty sure it does as I recall checking it's DLDI code while trying to help the original poster in this thread), my build of GBA-Exploader should already work for it for the most part. It does seem saves work too provided they don't...

    SuperFW: a (very much WIP) supercard firmware

    One notable difference I've noticed with my SuperCard Lite MicroSD is that the fw flash requires a different unlock command then the others and the sckill app from that other custom fw project isn't able to update the fw section. (despite updating mode switch for fw rom read/write, nothing is...

    SuperFW: a (very much WIP) supercard firmware

    I know for sure the SuperCard Lite MicroSD doesn't use a battery as I personally own one. Not sure on the others. Most models do have battery but SuperCard Lite is one of the unique ones that don't.

    Hardware Mystery flashcart used by Dora bootleg....

    Some older flash carts used nand for storage and do not have any form of removable storage. N-Cards are a notable example. The M3 G6 and Acekard R.P.G are other carts that have nand storage. Though Acekard RPG is unique in that it has both nand and a MicroSD slot. Most post R4 era cards moved...

    Hardware Mystery flashcart used by Dora bootleg....

    Looking to indentify what flashcart this is. I had found a Dora the Explorer saves the snow princess DS game bootleg. It's actually the second one I've come across but unlike the first one it is not an N-Card but some other form of nand based flashcart I've never seen before. Rom dumps show 2...
