Diddy Kong Racing: use the special patcher file from scdev.org forum (read first post) and when patching, uncheck the "Enable Restart" option.Kaitou Wario the Seven: when patching, uncheck "Enable Restart" and "Enable patch Cartridge access".

I have a question about the supercard SD. I am using it mainly for my 8 year old daughter, and installing games for her on her sp. However, occasionally I get an error message when trying to add a game. It says "Access violation at address 00405089 in module 'SuperCardsd.exe'. Read of address 00000000" Does anyone know what this means, and is there a way to correct this so I can upload these games she really would like to be able to play.

Since your daughter has a SP, I assume you're trying to patch GBA games.There is a GBA compatibility list here:http://rothmans.josk.../supercardsite/Check there and see if there is supposed to be a problem with whatever game you're trying to patch. If the list says it's fine, then post here what game, version of patcher and version of firmware you're trying to patch and we'll see if we can help you out.EDIT: I just experienced this problem last night, when trying to patch 1807 - Payback (E)(M5). But that problem only showed up when I tried to select the properties for that game. In the end, I just patched it without changing the properties, and it still worked fine.

What do you mean by upgraded to the "new supercard one os"? Do you mean you bought a Supercard DS(ONE) or do you mean you already have one but changed the OS to a newer version?Save files can be transferred from older supercard products to the supercard ds.You don't have to patch games for supercard ds but patching adds extra options such as restart to menu, trim rom, etc.The supercard ds has perfect compatibility last time I heard. Anyway, the DKR problem was solved ages ago (end of Jan).

Just click the "SuperCard Patching Guide" link in my sig.And can you type better? At least add in some punctuation, geez. Reading your posts give me headaches...

The special patch was only for Slot-2 cards, so it wouldn't have helped you get DKR working. In fact, it sounds like it's lowered your compatibility level because basically now you're using the wrong patcher! If you want to use the supercard ds patcher, re-download it from the site.According to what I understood from the site, all you have to do is copy the roms directly to your memory card and after you enable patch and all games should work.As a side note, I know my friend has been playing DKR on supercard ds for a long time now. Did you wait to make sure the game wasn't just still loading? My friend's memory card is so slow that every time he loads mario kart ds it takes nearly 20 seconds. And from what I could remember, DKR takes some time to start after it has loaded.Hope I helped.

It's like this:Some games work fine with download play, like Bomberman. For others, the receiving DS(s) must be flashed. Having a passcard or similar device is no use; unless the receiving DSs must be flashed to bypass the security check for the downloaded data. Something to do with the game's hash not matching with the data downloaded. Using a slot-1 flash cart should improve the download play compatibility because it uses clean roms.This problem does not exist for multi cart play and WFC gaming.This is why I flashed all my friends' DSs, so we can play multiplayer all together.

I had trouble with AC, but not with freezing. Just try patching it again, making sure "Enable Faster Gameplay" is checked. You can try disabling "Enable restart" and "Enable patch cartridge access" and see if that helps too.AC also takes a while to start, so wait like 15 seconds to make sure it really isn't working before turning off your DS.

[phoenix121]

Make sure you're using the right patcher and make sure you didn't copy the slot-2 patch into the SC folder.Anyway, since you're using supercard DS, why do you patch your games? Just copy the rom straight onto your microSD and play. If the games don't load this way, then your rom is not a clean rom. If you use a rom from this site and it doesn't work this way, then your Supercard might be faulty. Or it may be your microSD. These new slot-1 models are sometimes really picky about what microSD card you're using.

[phoenix121]

There is no point in getting both unless you want to play GBA games. Just getting a slot-1 is enough.The R4 seems the easiest to use to me.

[phoenix121]

When you say 'supercard program', you mean the patcher, right?What files do you try to open? .zip or .nds?

[phoenix121]

I don't believe there is. If there is one, please tell me about it too (post or PM), I will add it to the first post (and use it, of course )Just a note, it's not your supercard that's flashed, it's your DS.
