So I purchased my supercard DSTWO a few days ago and it just arrived. I went and (thought) that I patched the firmware from beta 1.15 - 1,15. So I try it on my 3DS that's running 4.1.0-8U (so it should work) I still get the "An error has occurred" message. So I try and update it again and for whatever reason I get the same beta 1.15 - 1.15 message when I update.

Does this mean the cart is not actually updating the firmware or am I just missing something really obvious? (IE beta 1.15 is the same as 1.15?) and if that's the case is there anything I can do to get it to run on my 3DS?

So your DSi XL is on a low enough firmware to run the dstwoupdate.dat file.

How to use:
copy the dstwoupdate.dat file to the root of microsd card, then upgrade it.
We suggest you to upgrade it on a DS console or never upgraded console.

You doing this?

So you've tried twice to get this update working, i can't work out why it's not working for you

I suggest try it again and hopefully someone who has had a similar problem, will read this thread and help you out.


EDIT: Have you the DSTWO EOS on your microSD also?

I believe that you are already on the latest firmware. Now download the latest EOS and install it to the SD card (overwriting everything). I believe the latest 3DS update required an EOS update to fix, not a firmware update. Be sure to get DSTWO EOS v1.11_0521(2012-05-21).

I thought you would have read the instructions on the Supercard download page, and i assumed you had the EOS system on your microSD.

hmmm actually I just noticed that my r4i gold plus from r4ids.com also doesn't work. Yet apparently it ALSO supports the 4.1.0-8 update for the 3DS, could there be something up with the system itself?

Someone said lodging a twist-tie in there helped it, just experiment with putting it in different positions. Many other people have tried using folded paper, which is a common trick used for the Acekard 2i.

hmmm Ok, I might try and find someone else with a 3DS and see if it works in theirs since it's odd that both chips don't work (and one was working right before the update).

Having the same problem, 3DS updated yesterday SCdstwo works on ds lite and got the eos and firmware update on the lite and it wont run on the 3ds (not a contact problem for it shows on the 3ds menu...)

For the update process, are you using an sdhc that is either 4gb or smaller?



The SC DS2 and SC Ds(i) mini will only allow updating from a chip either 4gb or smaller. (not sure why this is so..) using a larger cart will not allow the update process to work. You can use a larger card for the actual day to day use, but not for updating. This one had me goin' for weeks. Try that first, once you know you have all the correct software, firmware etc.. in place. Hope this helps.
