Supercard clones today seem to ship with the 1.85 firmware. It isn't necessary to manually upgrade them yourself.
Looks like newer Supercard clones are using different flash chips. This might be a problem for installing either custom firmware or original firmware. The ID identifies the flash chip, but different flash chips also use different flashing commands and will require more code to support installing a new firmware.
Were you able to install custom firmware with this? SCFW performs its own flash ID check when trying to install the firmware.
Any ideas why my SuperCard SD has problems with save patching on your custom firmware (Save Type Patch Error)? Could it be also related to this, the different flash chips on the newer carts?

And that's unlikely. The flash chip only stores the firmware data, and using a different flash chip should only matter while trying to install the firmware.

Ok it makes sence. By the way the scfw its working normal for now and the Cfw kernel also working good saves, patching,and all that. I talked to the ally Express store that i buy it from and i did get a answer.aparently they pre installed the 1.85 allready.metroid maniac you were right but as long this error dont affect anything other than upgrade i should be fine right?
Just checked a spare Supercard I own which I bought about 2 weeks ago which also has flash id c2ba. Looks like these are becoming more common in the wild.

Hello everyone ! I was very happy to see that there are still people creating and moving the gba scene. I have downloaded this software with the intention of playing on my gameboy advance and there is no way... I have been totally stuck checking the forum for two days and I can't get any game to work. Does anyone have a step by step explanation to do everything? I also tried to revert my supercard in order to test how it came from base but I continually get a message that says c2ba error...

I second that. Because the custom firmware automatically patches the ROMs for you, you no longer need to patch them using the SuperCard software. If you do, it will cause problems (Mostly glitched Nintendo logo, you'll get stuck on bios screen). As mentioned, you only need to put your ROMs to your SD card and simply load them using the CFW

Thank you both very much for responding. So specifically, the card should have the cfw content in the root and a folder called gba that includes the games in .gba format, right?

I have done what I mentioned before and I get this screen and it doesn't go away from there. When you turn it off and on again, the screen goes completely blank.

I never seen a error like that try using a different sd. I do have a Omega and a supercard which the super card is my daily driver I just love it so mush that's why my name. And try reformat again. And got my scard resently which is micro sd version I'm looking for a mini sd version it seems to hVe a different flash
So, I took a look at the new Supercard which gives the "flash id cb2a" error.
It looks like this is already completely compatible with the existing flashing code, and is even recognised as a compatible chip by SCFW already. Only the original firmware does not recognise this chip.
Since everything already works, you can use SCFW's firmware installer instead of the official installer to revert to the original firmware. The original firmware is attached to this post.
This original firmware will be bundled in future releases for convenience, but for now you can download it directly if you happen to have a newer Supercard and want to revert to stock.
I had one of these cards lying and decided to give it a go.
So far im impressed, its amazing that I can use my SDHC cards. I ran a few games, everything except Zero Mission works so far (but that prolly already got reported). Thanks for your time making this even tho im prolly not using this much over my EZ Flash ODE.
Happy to see what u can make with this in the future!

I have a question. When I tried to flash my first SuperCard with the CFW it got bricked and now stays on a white screen after boot. We discussed this on the github page and we couldn't do anything about it because I didn't have a DS. But now I finally have it and I have a second SuperCard too. The only thing I'm missing is a flashcart for DS. My question is, can I unbrick the cartridge without the R4 card, just with the other SuperCard or do I need to buy the DS flashcart to actually unbrick it. Thanks.

How are we supposed to flash this fw with you kernel? Or with a r4 or something? My sc its just fine but i just want to confirm in case something happened to my card

I think I bricked the supercard. Since yesterday after the game boy advance letters, a white screen appears and nothing else can be done. I have formatted the SD several times and it's still the same...

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.
@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
