Have you tried the paper trick, usually used with the Acekard, on your Supercard?

I've never used the R4i, but I have a Supercard and I am pretty well versed in how to work it. I do believe I've read a few cases of people needing to do the paper trick with their DSTWO. Cut a thin strip of paper (maybe a quarter of an inch tall, wide enough to span the entire width of the cart) and stick it behind where the contacts go on the cartridge, then close it all back up.

I demand a video showing the DSTwo working on your DS XL and showing the latest version, and then shown on the 3DS as not working. Cuz either you have a fake cart, you're doing something wrong, or you're just plain lying.

a DSTwo clone ? i don't think clone maker would bother trying to clone the DSTwo its simply too difficult to clone because of the cpu in the card

I'm sure there isn't, but there's some kind of problem here and it's either user error or somehow his 3DS is just disregarding flashcards which is, so far, unheard of.

Ok heres what I'll do.

1. Format the SD card using SD Formatter 3.1 (https://www.sdcard.o...ds/formatter_3/)

2. Install the latest EOS (http://down.supercar...12_0323_eng.zip)

3. Put the latest firmware onto the SD card (http://down.supercar...e_v1.16_eng.zip)

4. using my laptop webcam I'll do a video of running the dstwo on the DSI XL, the video will include the firmware update

5. I will then swap the cart from the DSI XL to the 3DS and attempt to launch it

6. I will also do repeat the process with the R4i Gold Plus

Video will come shortly

edit: apparently its a somewhat common issue with supercard (http://forum.superca...-10076-1-1.html). However I'll still do the video for you since both my carts don't work.

editedit: There you go

Quality isn't great but you can clearly make out everything with the exception of the version the card is being upgraded to (please put a little trust in me that it is indeed 1.16, if you wish i will take a picture)

Are you sure that you are running on 4.2.0.9U, since if you updated today, then it means that you have probably updated to the 4.3.0.10U version, which apperatly blocks Acekard and SuperDStwo..

Same thing happened to me with my r4i gold. I bought a new cart, and it worked fine. I don't know if that helps anyone.

hmmm ya but my issue is that TWO carts (one new one I've had for a while) both don't work. This was RIGHT AFTER I updated.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
