Is it still worth to buy a DSTWO; do they still give support? do there come updates?
Or is there a better card for its price?

Thanks

I was gifted a Supercard DStwo and I'm getting the error message on my 3DS XL version 7.2.17u I believe. I'm not sure what firmware the card is on, I have nothing else to test it with. I see the game icon but get the 'error' when I launch it. I tried formatting the card with the recommended tools, and upgrading the firmware with the 'don't touch it for 5 minutes' method, but nothing seems to effect it. I've tried cleaning the contacts and all that good stuff.
The game shows every time in my 3ds menu, but errors when launched. Any ideas what I can do? I tried patching it with 1.19 firmware, should I just go to the latest 1.25 with the rename and leave for 3-5 minutes method?

you shouldn't never patch an old firmware. and of course you should try to use latest 1.25...

1.19 firmware only supports 3ds with firmware lower than 5.0 :hateit:

When i start the DSTWO i only see, the DS option? Is it possible to download more options or something like that (more plugins?)
Thanks

Yes, you need to download those and slap them on to your SD card. If you read the first post, you should see where to get some of this stuff.

I have 3ds 4.5. I'm thinking of buying DS Two. I've read somewhere that in order to correctly use it on a 3DS I need to set up it on DS, is that true? Do I really need DS?

Can anyone confirm it or deny?

with a 4.5 it should work out of the box, specially when some places already update it to be compatible with the last firmware

if you can't really find a 3ds you can use the Method B to update it on the 3ds, but if the firmware on the card is really really old you will need an original ds\lite...

Hey, I just received my supercard DSTwo in the mail today and I couldn't be more frustrated. I've followed all the steps here, as well as formatting the microSD card and starting over multiple times, trying different firmwares and EOS's and nothing seems to work.

When I plug in my supercard, everything works perfectly until I try to load a game. All the games and plugins I add to the SD card show up, but when I try to load a game, I get stuck on the Loading screen indefinitely. Can anybody give me any advice?

Also, I feel like I've done more damage than good by trying to get it to work so many times. When I first tried it, everything loaded perfectly up until trying to play a game on both my 3DS and my DS Lite. Now, I get the black screen with white text on my 3DS and can only get to the Supercard menu on my DS Lite. I would honestly be happy if I could even just get it to work on my DS Lite.

Please help, I'm both frustrated and disappointed right now. I feel like I've wasted my money, and if I can't get it to work in the next couple of days I'm just going to give up and get a refund.

P.S. Sorry if any of this has been asked/resolved already, but I read the first 15 pages of this thread without finding any posts relevant to my issue.

Have you tried a different Game Dump than the one u load?

Might be a corrupted backup try another Ripp or ROM

I've tried ~5 different roms, and even tried a GBA game in the GBA emulator I installed. No matter what everything works perfect until it comes time to actually load a game

Many people asking about 3DS fw. 9.2.0 support.
You should add that 9.2.0 it's supported with last version (1.25) on the "How to update your DSTwo's firmware to work on a 3DS (Updated for 3DS v7.0.0-13)" section.
