Hardware GBA FLASHMP SuperCard micro SD?

[Egoistamamono]

I need help..

My SuperCard was accidentally blank when I installed SC CFW, now it can't be used. Even when re-flashing using FLASHMP it gets stuck at 'programming 524288 bytes'.

When I force reset, sometimes the SuperCard is detected as a gba game, sometimes as a pack option but when detected as a gba game, it stays blank white when selected, both on my GBA SP and on my NDS phat.

Since I only have an NDS phat with a broken top screen, can it be repaired? What software should I use?

I used R4 SDHC Dual-Core & SuperCard Micro SD (but it labelled as SD)

Thank you

Your flash chip is faulty and requires a replacement since you're not able to access the entire flash memory.

You're left with a few options here:

• Replace the flash chip marked U1 (requires soldering expertise)
• Stick to SCFW (consumes minimal flash memory space)
  • A.K.A. - Delaying the inevitable (Flash chip will eventually wear out completely)
  • Caveat here is that official GBA units( incl. NDS/NDSL ) may not be able to boot the cartridge and it will stay stuck on a white screen.
  • It will, however, have a higher chance of booting on clone GBAs (just not consistently) despite the cart having a faulty flash chip.

For the first option seems difficult, can you tell the type of flash memory used for the replacement?

then, is it possible to go back to SCFW without replacing flash memory or soldering? if so, how? Thanks
