Hacking Is My Supercard dead?

[cov]

Hello. I have a problem with my SC.
It was working ok for months. Now when I open my NDS with my SC inserted only the logo "Super Card DS" appears in the bottom screen. In the upper screen it remains white. I cant see the rom list etc. I have tried the same SC to other DS consoles with the same results. Is anything I can do to fix my card?

Have you tried a different SD card? If so the next thing I would try is the SC hardware test.
To do this remove your SD turn on your DS & hold the L & R buttons then use A to scroll.

Yes I have try a different SD card. I have a flashed nds. When I try to load it with L+R pressed without any SD card inserted nothing happens (it appears the DS original menu). I try it with an SD card inserted and the test give me this results :


Test SRAM
SRAM ok!
____________
Test sdram
sdram ok!
____________
Test flash
flash id ok!
flash ok!
____________
Test SD/MMC
SD/MMC ok!
not find test file
____________
Now SC Version:1.62
____________


I cant figure out how I will be able to reflash this card. I try to boot it from a GBA SP and the Supercard menu appears for 1sec and disappears again. I can't do anything.

do all of the buttons on your ds work properly?

 

[cov]

Yes. I have do the test to another DS also with the same results.

might want to go to www.scdev.org

post your question there, they can probably do a better job of figuring out whats wrong.

Is the SD card in FAT/FAT16 (not FAT32)?

 

[cov]

Yes its in FAT.
I have tried the same SD card to another SC in the same NDS console and its working.

I had that problem once all I did was take out the supercard and reinsert it firmly in the DS, I think the contacts between the DS and the card didn't have a good contact. oh and make sure you have a known working game on your memory card

Try a 1.70 firmware upgrade this will help as well because the SC does a firmware search before booting the menu so it will prompt you in its broken english way "find new firmware?"

Then if you install that firmware it may help.
