Hacking DS Lite n00b with questions here

[tinlunlau]

i just bought a Super Card game loading cartridge.
now, i've tried compressing the rom's with Super Card. it works great with GBA games but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the DS roms. i try to run the rom's. the GBA rom's are fine. but the DS games is just blank.

is there any solution to this?
my flash card also came with a CD full of installation programs.

Try turning your DS off and switching it back on, had the same problem when i got mine but when i restarted my DS it seemed to fix it.

 

[tinlunlau]

tried that several times and the same problem arises.

I don't think that the ds roms can be compressed. You can trim them though.

so what do i do with the DS roms?

This is the guide is used, hope it helps.

I have only ever had that problem when saves werent being generated properly, or there wasn;t enough space on my memory card.

 

[tinlunlau]

i installed the Super Card for CF.
i got the SD memory card. is there any difference?

Just to get the basics out of the way: Are you using a flashed ds or some type of passkey/superkey device?

 

[Darkspark]

Yeah, if definetly isnt flashed, otherwise it would have been mentioned.
I fell into this trap, sort of. I got my blue ds, when passme 1 was around, and passme2 was in development. I could only play gba until superpass2 came out.

If ur usin an SD card then u'll need the SD version.

Ive got an SD card and use the SD version and it works great.

 

[tinlunlau]

well, apparently, i got DS games working now.
i've been told i need to install some 2.561 or something like that. however, not all roms work perfectly.

New Super Mario Bros. doesn't save, Bleach has no audio, DBZ: Supersonic Warriors 2 still doesn't work. otherwise, everything else is fine.

btw, my DS Lite has been flashed. i don't use any passkey or anything to insert in the DS slot.
i do use an SD card for game storage.

Well, im also new here and i flashed my lite yesterday, updated my supercard with the last bin file and tried several games (without the trim option) and every single one worked like a charm but i havent tried saving on nsmb so i'll let you know later on.
But make shure you patch your roms with the sd options (available in the properties of your supercard software for preparing your roms) i will check that save question and tell you my experience.

See you soon.

 

[tinlunlau]

well, i patched it again and the save works.
now i'm having trouble with Mario Kart DS.

Fullmetal Alchemist doesn't seem like it saves either. will need to patch again
