I have this card, which is almost certainly a fake. Before I throw it away entirely, any chance anyone knows where I might find software for it?

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, on my DS (old style, running v6), all I get is a white screen when I try to open the cart. See photo for the setup on the root of the SD card.

The cart is recognized as a Spongebob cart in the menu before I launch the cart.

Clones tend to do that.
