Hacking The SuperCard DSTWO Beginner's Guide: How to Setup the DSTWO

Skeet1983 · Dec 1, 2017

Hi guys. I hope you guys can help me with an issue I am having with my SC DSTwo. Anyway, cheats don't seem to be working for me in the DS game Dragon Quest 6 US version. I enabled/disabled basic cheats like max money, and even tested walk through wall cheat, nothing seems to be working. I tried replacing game/ROM, replace usrcheat file, even went as so far as reformatting the mSD card in the SC DSTwo. Help on this GREATLY appreciated

Note: I am doing this on an N3DS.

Have you tried using my updated cheat database? I cleaned up some of the cheats for certain games due to the bad functionality they used to have. I will test this game for myself. Could you provide a copy of your .sav via PM/Conversation? I don't know how to play that game, prefer doing my test with a solid save you know lol.

I don’t know what I did or how I did it, but cheats are working again. Thanks though [emoji4]

Hi all, I have a supercard dstwo working on a dsi on ver 1.2u but the card doesn't work on my dsi ver 1.4.5U. The menu says DSTWOMENU 1.11 and I installed the EOS 1.14. A wild guess is that I need to update the firmware but I don't know how to check the version installed nor how to install the latest. I put the dstwoupdate.dat for Firmware_v1.25_eng in the root of the microsd card but the dstwo doesn't prompt to update when started on the 1.2u DSI. Any ideas? Thanks

Remove everything on the SD card, start from scratch again, this time don't add your games yet. I recommend trying this on an original DS, DS Lite, or retry your 1.2 DSi. After updating you can update the DSi to 1.4.5X.

I recently installed several emulators on my DSTwo card and found that several of them were not working.
So I did some experimenting and this is what I found. (I've edited this post so that it is no longer a question, but a relay of information I found.)
Tested on New 3DS, Old 3DS, DS lite.

New 3DS and Old 3DS worked identical, no issues.
DS Lite will ONLY work if you use a 32 gb microsd card or smaller. My DS wouldn't recognize the DSTwo with a 64 gb card.
(I've actually only tested with 64 and 16 gb, but based on other posts the limit appears to be 32.)

Non-DSTwo exclusive emulators such as nesDS, nesterDS, and snesDS did not work out of the box from the collection of DSTwo emulators.
Why? The downloads only included the "_dstwoplug" files (*.bmp, *.ini) for these emulators to run. I had to find and download the actual emulators (*.nds) and place them in the _dstwoplug folder as well.

DSTwo exclusive emulators did not work at all. They would just go to two white screens, top and bottom.
Why? I was using a 64 gb microsd card. When I switched to a 16 gb, everything worked fine.

NOTE: NDS games boot up fine from a 64 gb card, but emulators do not!
I've confirmed that DSTwo save states function also works. The game guide and cheat system probably work as well, but I haven't tested them.

I am using latest DSTWO Firmware v1.25 eng and dstwo patch 2012_12_6

In summary, 32 gb or smaller micro sd have all functionality across all systems. Larger than 32 gb cards appear to only work with the 3DS family and exclude emulator support.

Does firmware make a difference? Or the patch? Any other useful information is welcome. I hope if anyone else has my issue they can find this post and save themselves a lot of headache

Is it safe to leave this card in a game slot? I have an N3DSXL and it gets extremely annoying to insert this card in the slot. It just doesn't read it in most cases. Other cartridges are fine. Paper trick works from time to time. But when I get it working I would gladly leave it sitting in the slot. I've heard it drains system battery and other stuff, but is it really that harmful to leave it there?

I've heard it drains system battery and other stuff, but is it really that harmful to leave it there?

IIRC the significant battery drain is only during sleep mode, as the 3DS regularly checks what cartridge is inserted for ?Spotpass. This powers up the processor in the DSTwo, which takes more power than a normal cartridge. If you run other games, it should stay off, and if you're running the flashcart, it is only active when the CPU is in use (emulators, DS real-time save &c.).

So it's only really a problem if you use sleep mode. Try it for yourself, and then decide whether the reduced effort in getting it to read is worth the battery drain (and thus heating of the cartridge/system). I pop it out when I'm not using mine (but mine generally shows up first or second go).

Bonjour, j'aimerais que la combinaison soit de retour au menu du jeu lorsque vous jouez dans un jeu? j'ai supercard dstwo 1.14 et dsi xl. Merci beaucoup!

In English: Hello, I would like the combination to return to the game menu when you play in a game? I have supercard dstwo 1.14 and dsi xl. Thank you so much!

My full hotkey is L+R+start, my simple hotkey is L+R+sel. They both bring me to the guide / cheats / real-time save menu. To 'reset the system' to the rom-selection menu, I click the '[<]' button in the top left corner and press A.

It is possible to edit the hotkeys from the rom-selection menu by pressing start and choosing settings. You select the buttons by clicking on the touch screen.

En Français: J'utilise L+R+start ou également L+R+select pour voir le menu guide / trucs / sauvegarde vite. Pour retourner au selection de jeu, tu peux utiliser le bouton '[<]' au haut et gauche.

C'est possible là de choisir un nouveau combinaison - pousse start et puis 'settings'. Choisis les boutons sur l'écran tactile.

I'm not sure but I don't think so, the way you do to return in the ds roms folder in the only way I know.

But just in case, you can check the user manual of the DStwo / DStwo +, you can find it here : http://eng.supercard.sc/manual/dstwo/use.htm

What exactly are you looking for? SNES emulator, GBA emaulator, MAME emulator and some apps like ireader and iplayer ?

Otherwise you can find FBA here : https://gbatemp.net/threads/fba4dstwo.461008/

EDIT :
here is a pack of various things (applications, emulators, homebrews):

Just needed the EOS ( os ).

I was trying to make a clean install because Pokemon Black 2 (JAP) wasn't working on the flash card, white screen on boot, still didnt figure what is the problem, already changed mSD cards and got another rom, still the same...
Prior to that i had slow downs on pokemon soul silver, but that got fixed after changing the mSD's.

Thanks for the Plugin pack

The last firmware (eos v1.14) is in the pack with the GW simulator if you're using your dstwo with a 3ds

Question about Nintendo DS Lite and Super Card DSTWO PLUS.

So I have a DSTWO Plus, along with my micro SD that I use with it. I would like to update the DSTWO with the right firmware and OS to use with my NDS Lite. Here is the thing though -
Even after downloading the latest DSTWO+ EOS v1.14 and Firmware v1.25. I followed the instructions step-by-step on how to initially set up my DSTWO+, but it is not
detecting the upgrade file so I can't continue and press A to upgrade like it states..

There is another guide I have been following as well. When I insert the flashcard and turn on the power, it boots normally (I select DS_GAME) it boots the OS and detects my SDHC 32gb card, it technically works but the fact that I can't update it irritates me lol.

When I hit "start" and "help" is states DSTWOMENU 1.11 and not v1.14.

I read on a different guide I have been following, that I have to "Find a DS console (NDS\DS\DSLite\DSi\3DS) which can run this EOS system, if you have the latest version console it can not run EOS system".

I think my DS Lite is has its most recent update which is creating a brick wall for me. Is there any way around this? Could I possibly update the flashcart on a different device such as a 3DS?

So I know this hasn't been updated in 3+ years, but I don't know where else to post this; the links at the top no longer work. Where can I get the cart firmware and the EOS files?

From the supercard website the links are:
