Uhh... if mine says MX in giant white letters on half the chip is it safe to assume it has an MX chipset?

The only way this can happen is if some kind of destructive code was implemented into the update as all the other updates were nice and friendly. Obviously they want to destroy the fake cards.

Problem SOLVED!

Firmware 1.63b was just posted and it works on both MX and CB cards.

If you already bricked your card I hope this will fix it...

That was posted on RomMan's website and a fix was released soon afterwards!

Use the link below to get the v1.63b update, which corrects the problem:

I´ve read in the forum of SCDEV:

What can we do to fix our bricked cards?

complain on the official forums... http://www.supercard.cn/ or direct for english language http://eng.supercard.cn/


explain how this was totaly not you're fault, the least romman should do is re-place the bricked SC's as the mistake was theirs.

Though apparently it can be repaired via a wfi card, look for 'bltbit' posts on Scdev.com, he is offering a free repair. (god bless him)

Did darkfader not write an app to recover the supercard. He was working on one after he decided to write the virus that bricked the supercard to restore the firmware.

btw I did have the MX chip.

Yes, he did write an app to recover firmware. The link to file was already posted in this thread

But to use this app you need to get wifime working. Theres a tutorial on how to set up wifime here

http://www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime.php

You need a PCI or PCMCIA wireless network card with the RT2500 or RT2560 chipset to install the modified drivers.

Currently this is the only way to recover a bricked minisd with the CB chipset.

Keep in mind that WifiMe only works with certain FW ds's, and sending homebrew code only works with FlashMe.
