Can someone help me with this problem in superFW?

Hi guys, I've been trying to run Sonic Advance 1, 2, and Kirby Nightmare in Dream Land, but every ROM I use says it doesn't have a patch, and when I patch them through SuperFW and try to run them, the screen just stays white. I've seen YouTubers playing these games without issues, but they never explain how they got them to work. Can someone help me?

Hi. You should ask this question in the thread of the author of this software. Anyway, these titles work well with the original Supercard SD firmware, provided you patch them first with the client software on your PC.

I'm kind of surprised nobody has patched every GBA ROM for the SuperCard SD yet, and put them into a torrent or something.

I actually did patch it and it still doesn’t work. It just stays on a white screen. I also asked in the official thread but no one replied haha

Bro, when someone manages to do that, I'll build them a castle myself.

Those games work fine out of the box on SuperFW.
As I have already mentioned, the first photo shows an invalid game ID in your game "????". That means that your SD card is corrupted (ie. the filesystem) or something wrong is going on there. Very wrong I must say
I think I will add some CRC checking on the ROM header, since this is happening more often than I expected.
But TLDR your supercard / sd card is having a bad time, these games work just fine in any supercard variant
