What is going on? ROMS won't load / save errors ETC

[martj79]

I just bought a superkey and supercard SD for the DS Lite, which I have set up on the comp and have followed all the instructions as set out on the cd-rom I recieved with the carts.

I have managed to load some roms up and they work fine, however some don't.

Some simply say "save file did not load, please insert game cartridge" and other messages much like that reffering to a "save" game or save file. Some roms load, some do not, all .nds, all converted using the supercard software. - Also, some just refuse to load and all I see is two white screens.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why this is happening / how I can fix the problem?

Where did you buy it from.

Go to this link and see if it's a fake

See that chip? Mine is a LATTICE too.

I'm afraid you may have a fake if it looks liek the one labeled fake on the picture. Seem strange because I thought realhotstuff were a reliable site.

I would email them straight away and tell them your problem and ask for a refund.

Jeez. Good thing I'm not getting a supercard SD...

Well I hope they refund your money. Try getting an M3... Like here...

I thought it was a decent price for an M3...Though I'm getting CF($3 cheaper) when my 512mb CF card arrives in the mail...

It's not looking good so far though.

Same chip as the fake one and the white screens

Does yours have the large battery by the front, and the circle below the arrow on the front?

[Mazza]

The regular SD doesn't have a batter just the mini sd

[The Hombrew Hunter]

Oh heh. Shows what I know...

Well how about the little circle below the arrow on the front?

Yes, it has the little circle below the arrow.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here guys.

I'll give you an example...

I own Advance Wars DS, I tried the rom and it said "NO SAVE FILE REINSERT CARTRIDGE". On all games that require a save file it says pretty much the same thing.

Anyone have true consistency when loading ANY nds roms? Maybe it's not meant to be played on the DS and is more meant for DS emulation on the PC? - Or am I doing something wrong, I.E. a problem with my converting (however some games DO work).

try formatting your sd card with fat32 this sometimes solves common problems, you may just have a corrupt rom.

No, this has the circle and the image is CRISP, nothing like that one, so software error on my part?

Can anyone help me out on how they run roms on their SD Supercards? Like I said before, some load, some do not, I suspect mainly the ones that try to acsess some kind of SAVE file as the message says something about REINSERT CART SAVE NOT LOAD etc.

ALSO: Ace Attorney .NDS crashed, refuses to load.

Just did this.

NOT FAT FORMAT. PLEASE TURN OFF GBA.

*Formatted to FAT, same problems.

The fake one is also a lot paler.
