Hacking brand new supercard ds(one) doesn't boot up

02sugand · Jan 9, 2007

hey all.
I just got a nds for Christmas. so i'am basically new to all this. i opted to get a supercard ds(one) solu for my nds lite. It arrived today. now i'am not sure if i have done something wrong or if it's supercard ds(one) itself is the problem. Basically this what i have done i have formatted(FAT) my mircoSD(kingston japan, 1 GB) and put shell folder and MSFORCE.NDS in the root(got these from supercard.cn). put the mircroSD into supercard and put that into my nds lite. now when i start my nds lite i first get the Health and safety screen where it's says to touch screen to continue. after i do that it takes me to nds default frontpage. i'am not sure what i'am doing wrong. this doesn't come with a manual or something that i can lookup. any help will be appreciate.

P.S: sori for posting b4 in the wrong section. i'am to nervous. took me 9 days to get this card and now it won't boot. :'(

Euhrm, so you get on this DS frontpage thingy... nothing wrong up till that I suppose?

Just click the top thing where you normally would boot a normal card also? Or tell when what goes wrong?

In the default page it's says 'there is no dS Card inserted' this is above the picochat and ds download play icon. So i don't know how else i can start up supercard DS(one)

Your Supercard is broken, doesn't work. I have the same problem. The first supercards have this problem. It suppose that the next replacement fixe this problem.
You have to send back to the store, It's the only solution I know

Defective card indeed.

Code:

We contacted the manufacture and here is theit reply: 

"This is a pin contact problem, because the first batch of product coming out so fast, so the circuit of DS ONE is a little thin than normal, so your DS console can not detect the DS ONE. The other goods will be OK." 

If your DS One is defective, contact us and we'll get it replaced. I did have some defectives, but it does not mean all of them are bad. Most of them are still good.

nowhereLand. ic and thanxs

I have written the retailer a e-mail. waiting for his reply. i hope they exchange it. 9 days i have been polishing and shinning the nds lite. waiting for this day when i can play games. but now this happens. does this only happen to supercard ? or it's just a random occurrences

edit1: thanxs zatalli. that ans my above question. but still need by retailer to confirm he will take it back. maybe this is a blessing in disguise. might get the r4ds instead of this.. hehe

first blow at your supercard and in the ds lite slot and see if it helps, maybe there is something that blocks the contacts.

lenselijer, did that b4 but no success

also i called my friend over. he has a supercard lite, superkey combo. and that works perfectly.

callandor · Jan 10, 2007

did u try it on his ds?

bmonkey · Jan 13, 2007

A friend of mine has the same problem.
He got a ds for christmas, and i recomended him the slot 1 sc, because i have a good experience with superkey + sc mini sd.

The ds crashes with the card inside, or boots and does not recognize the slot1 card.
Blowing and stuff doesnt help, i tried it in 2 ds lite, and it was the same problem.

i wrote to gamersection.ca, and wait for a answer...

Why do they sell stuff that doesnt work!

I know someone who repairs nintendo consoles and he says NEVER BLOW into it (console or game) as your breath will create condensation and eventually corrupt the pin connectors until it is beyond repair. So the only way to get it to work afterwards is to replace pin connectors with new ones *and this is a bastard of a process too* He says people should never have done this in the past cos it may have been a temporary solution, but in the long run it surely wisna.

I'll just assume the same would go for any nintendo stuff. There shouldn't be any reason ta blow

lenselijer · Jan 14, 2007

lol, i always do it with my 1985 nes console and it still works now, so i dont think it will harm

Return it.
Faulty batch of red thin PC boards.
The new improved ones work fine.

Still waiting for my faulty green PCB to get replaced. Going to R4 DS next. Not worth the time and effort it took me to figure this thing out. I'd rather be playing.

scdsone · Jan 16, 2007

do you have to take apart your scdsone to find out what color your PCB is?

eyemessiah · Jan 17, 2007

Just look at the little strip at the top of the metal pins that connect to the DS. You should be able to see either a red or green bit above each one.

My SCDS with a green pcb (I think) did the same btw. You can try holding down L+R when you turn the DS on and if you get some errors your card is probably faulty. If it doesn't detect it all though, you might not even get the self-test. Mine detected sometimes, sometimes didn't. I returned it and swapped it for an R4DS, which has worked like a magical dream come true so far, though mind you I hear the new SCDS's are better than the first run.

Also my R4 had a scary episode of non-detection briefly (like 20 minutes), but it turned out it just wasn't sitting right, but I nearly blew a fuse of the "teh slot 1 flashkits are teh suk!!!" kind.

Good luck getting yours sorted!

I think I've found the culprit

, the supercardDS is to blame. Make sure to check this Topic & give that method a try prior to either dumping your card or sending it back.
BTW, my supercard DS works fine (red PCB) ever since I bought it on December 22nd, I'm yet to experiment that problem with it.
