Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard
From what I can the MicroSD Lite is completely flash based most likely. I don't have MicroSD inserted at all in mine and games can still retain saves so MicroSD is not used at all for that. It's limited to 64KB though. I've read it's because of how the flash has to be addressed and it has to do...- Apache Thunder

Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard
Oh cool. So what modifications did you do besides renaming the frm file it uses? Did it work in normal mode or did you have to put it in SCLite mode? EDIT: Oh wait you did mention using regular mode. So yeah the SD and MicroSD version are the same then. Just the SC Lite is unique I guess. :P- Apache Thunder

Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard
The official recovery tool restores 1.85 version firmware on the target slot-2 card it was designed for. I haven ot tried flashing official firmware dumps via sckill because I don't have any regulard non lite versions of SuperCard to test the original flash code on. The SCLIte flash code can't...- Apache Thunder

Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard
Maybe with regular SuperCards. Not on SuperCard LIte though as I haven't been able to get it to write past 0x50000. But SC has official NDS recovery programs anyways so you don't really need to use SCKILL for that. ;) EDIT: Actually the non Lite MicroSD version doesn't appear to have a...- Apache Thunder

Read and Write roms to a GBA Flash cart's Mini SD card with an R4 and a DS Lite
Oh yeah this all assumes you'd primarily be using the SuperCard MiniSD on your DS/DS Lite. If you intend to use it on a GBA then yeah you'll have to get the MiniSD stuff sorted out.- Apache Thunder

Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard
@metroid maniac I got SC Lite fw flashing to work properly now! Attached the improved build below. I set it so D-PAD toggles between regular and "Lite" mode. (must select it before hitting A or B). The scfw boots up and doesn't hang on white screen like my initial attempts with modified GBA...- Apache Thunder

Need help getting a file from ds-scene.net
Was it this patch? I was able to access the file after altering an existing download page link to point to this one instead: http://www.ds-scene.net/?s=download&viewfile=396b276f2318e5de6733ba7199b7006b I took different download page for something unrelated and replaced it's download ID (that...- Apache Thunder

Read and Write roms to a GBA Flash cart's Mini SD card with an R4 and a DS Lite
Assuming the SuperCard SD MIni uses the same mode switch code (pretty sure it does as I recall checking it's DLDI code while trying to help the original poster in this thread), my build of GBA-Exploader should already work for it for the most part. It does seem saves work too provided they don't...- Apache Thunder

SuperFW: a (very much WIP) supercard firmware
One notable difference I've noticed with my SuperCard Lite MicroSD is that the fw flash requires a different unlock command then the others and the sckill app from that other custom fw project isn't able to update the fw section. (despite updating mode switch for fw rom read/write, nothing is...- Apache Thunder

SuperFW: a (very much WIP) supercard firmware
I know for sure the SuperCard Lite MicroSD doesn't use a battery as I personally own one. Not sure on the others. Most models do have battery but SuperCard Lite is one of the unique ones that don't.- Apache Thunder

Hardware Mystery flashcart used by Dora bootleg....
Some older flash carts used nand for storage and do not have any form of removable storage. N-Cards are a notable example. The M3 G6 and Acekard R.P.G are other carts that have nand storage. Though Acekard RPG is unique in that it has both nand and a MicroSD slot. Most post R4 era cards moved...- Apache Thunder

Hardware Mystery flashcart used by Dora bootleg....
Looking to indentify what flashcart this is. I had found a Dora the Explorer saves the snow princess DS game bootleg. It's actually the second one I've come across but unlike the first one it is not an N-Card but some other form of nand based flashcart I've never seen before. Rom dumps show 2...- Apache Thunder

Hacking The original R4 DS
I have recently acquired a genuine revision 1 R4...Might even be a revision 1.5 of sorts. It's using black shell instead of white and the chip markings show it as a ATF01 723# instead of 0733 or 0712. Uses the revision 1 MicroSD slot and revision 1 shell shape with fully molded pin separators...- Apache Thunder

Homebrew GBA GBA Exploader on modern libnds...
Yea that restriction still applies. I think it was an arbitrary choice to ensure ram limits aren't hit though I'm sure there's plenty room to expand that if needed. I could look into doing that. Like with SuperCard Lite you will need to use their patcher first. Unpatched games will not boot and...- Apache Thunder

Homebrew GBA GBA Exploader on modern libnds...
Probably not but as I don't own one I can't really test that. This was intended for SuperCard Lite MicroSD, Super Card SD and maybe SuperCard Mini SD. Pretty sure the CF version uses separate code. I do not have one to test ether. If it responds to the same mode switch commands as the SD...- Apache Thunder

Thanks to ArcheyChen's efforts in getting in contact with Rudolph we now have public source code for GBA Exploader.

Homebrew SCFW: Custom Firmware & Kernel for Supercard
Oh neat. You happen to have the Neo Mk5 USB dongle some of those came with or just the lone cart? Curious if the N-Card software works on that Neo Mk5 dongle. :P As for the final revision 3 in 1 was it like 3 in 1 plus in that it had larger NorFlash or is it just different revision of previous...- Apache Thunder
