Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard

[Foutiti]

Yes my 4gb card is empty ( just scfw )

 

[metroid maniac]

Can you attach a screenshot of the SCFW folder on your SD card?

 

[Foutiti]

Sure

That’s ok ?

4gb? Is the limit 2gb?

Would be nice to have an NDS-side flasher for the firmware to bypass needing an SDSC card at all. Tried using TWLMenu to load the kernel, but sadly that just ends up whitescreening after passing the logo check (made sure it didn't accidentally load GBAR2 either).

I have loaded the kernel multiple times using YSMenu on the NDS side. I think maybe TWLMenu's automatic patches screw it up.

Huh, neat. Didn't even know YSMenu supported using the SCSD as a GEP. Though it doesn't work on all carts (some like the R4DSPro even brick trying to run it, others like the Ace3DS+/X are just incompatible with it), so a dedicated flasher (or just basic nds-side bootstrap for the kernel, ultimately both would achieve the same result) is still needed for about 50% of Slot-1 carts.

Well, when NDS mode is implemented, that should be a normal .nds file you can boot in any way you like.

Nice, yeah that'll be great.

There's a file around it shoud be version 1.85 the latest firmware. It should be a .bin file. That bin file you are suppose to put it in the root of your sd card the run it as a regular rom and fallow the instructions and thats it. Letme know if i can help with something else

What format is the sdcard? Have you try with another card? And also are you on a DS?

Can someone please help me? I was flashing the firmware and it got stuck, I had to power off the gba. It now boots to a white logo. How can I go back to the original firmware? What is flashmp and a slot 1 flashcart?

Ok slot1 its the NDS slot. and the slot2 its the gba slot. flashmp seems to be a flasher or something like that which you can use to revert to stock in case you made dom mistakes or things like that happens. I have never use that software before but i think its easy. By the way you are going to need a flash card like r4, ez, n5 and similars feel free to ask any questions we here to help

Unfortunately i dont have a nds. I have a gba. I guess ill have to get another supercard, unless there is another way to fix it?
