Hacking Need help setting up my Supercard DS One SDHC

[jimmy_logic]

Hi,

I followed the instructions as per the manual and various posts around the web. But I still get slowdown in the intro of Castlevania DoS. I modified the global.ini to have 30 as the speed of my microSD (Kingston 2GB Japan) and it still had stutter. Also everytime I change a settingthe card never saves my settings... anyone know what I am doing wrong. Also everything was formatted fresh before I tried anything. After this I formatted and loaded my M3DSS back up and everything ran perfect, please help I really would like to try out the Supercard DS One card.

Also if any can point me in the right direction of a well written guide that would be helpful to.

Regards

you have to click save menu option in the *other* menu

also, set the speed to 25 or else the game will crash horribly.

The reason you still have lag is because the 2gig cards have a slower random access speed than the 1gb cards.
only the 1gb cards play them without lag but it doesnt matter.
try formatting it to fat32/64kb clusters

try formatting it to fat32/64kb clusters

I think you mean FAT with 64KB clusters. FAT32 only supports cluster sizes up to 16KB.

 

[jimmy_logic]

Awesome... yes it set to format FAT with 32K cluster.

LMAO I wonder what that option did, I though it was supposed to open like save types or something. Man feel like a goose

Also how do you get the Supercard to save in its native save type I keep getting 512KB save files. Do you need to run it in Patch Mode with Save Direct turned off or in Clean mode?

EDIT: They should update Scopei's wiki as thats where I got the speed = 30 from.

Scorpei probably uses a 1gb card.
You should just run the speedtest built in the SCDS, its precise

get the latest NDSINFO.DAT to fix the saving issue

I did get that and it still saved in 512KB mode I loaded Castlevania DoS and loaded the SD card on my computer to check 524888 I think from memory. Do you know of any reason... I do remember somewhere that it saves in this mode if something wasn't checked on or off I can't remember... first time noob user of Supercard.

 

[xcalibur]

HOLY SHIT!

I just had a look at my saves and i found that they also use 512KB...
this is wrong...
maybe it saves in its proper mode when you disable patching?

my saves alone take up 55 MB..

 

[DanTheManMS]

Saves originally only took up the amount of space they needed, using the database file. However, for some reason over time they've started taking up the full 512 kb. I don't know why.

 

[jimmy_logic]

I believe it just easier that way... not need for a database then I guess. Just like the R4.
