New SuperCard DS(ONE) Info and Photos! *Update*

[Sigma83]

I'm having quite an issue with the Supercard ds one. I didn't notice it earlier, but game's will crash after a few minutes of playing them. If I pass a level in metroid pinball, the message says "DS Card removed, power down system" or something. Othergames will just stall, and the sound will go all nuts. I haven't tried the V 1.1 yet, but would that even help? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Maybe its your SD card, or worse case scenario you have a bad Supercard.

I have a question now, what brand of Microsd cards do people reccomend, ive read so many mixed reviews im not sure anymore, should i go for a 1 gb sandisk or a 1 gb kingston, any help to clear this up would be great.

Try the v1.1 OS first. If there's still an issue it's the microSD card. That game works fine for me.

I will try it tonight. Is it necessary to format the card first? I just used it as is. It's a Kingston microSD card. There's no speed listed anywhere on the packaging. Liftetime warranty, retailed for 79$ canadian but after rebate it'll be $35. I would think it's great quality. It does seem like it crashes if I hit too many buttons at once. Hopefully 1.1 fixes it

EDIT: 5uck3rpunch, sorry if you mentioned it already, but what SD card are you using?

Thanks

Ok, I just tried reformatting to Fat 32, putting everything back on, (v1.0) and ultimate spiderman still crashes in under 1-2 minutes. I then reformatted, and installed V1.1, put all the games back on. Same crash. I'm using kingston from japan , not taiwan as some have stated this is less compatible. I'm out of ideas. V1.1 autodetected my Micro card as being 2x. When I throw it on 16 speed it runs fine for those same 2 minutes, so I have no idea what to do. I'm going to format to FAT not FAT32 and try one last time. Otherwise i'm stooped.

I am not very knowledgable on the slot1+slot2 combo since I started on slot1 solutions here, but what is the disadvantage of the slot1+slot2? Seems like it's far more compatible, can use browsers, homebrew, msn, andanything requiring a slot 2, gba etc. Is no patching the only advantage?

I am thinking of getting this...whats the best site and If I do get it is there anypoint in keeping my SuperKey and SCL?

Superkey? No
SCL? Maybe, if you still wanna play GBA games, poor compatibility tho.

 

[Mystic-Homer]

Maybe for the DS browser... *shrugs*

I'd keep it 'cause there's many games that aren't working on SC DS, and aren't working on certain SD cards...

SC Lite, however, has almost 100% compatibility, plus the speed/brand of your microSD doesn't matter as much.

try using FAT not FAT32. mine's on FAT and working perfectly (cept for the intro to DoS, but POR is fine)

Please let me know what games won't work. I have just received my second DS1, works perfectly, happily playing CastleVania POR, no slowdowns, nop crashes.

What memory card are you using?

I've noticed less graphic intense games run fine. The ones still causing problems:

marvel nemesis
ultimate spiderman
metroid pinball


I installed v1.1 and set my card speed to 6x......it seems to be the best chance I have of not crashing a game.

Metroid pinball is almost perfect,
CastleVania POR is perfect, no slow downs on video, no crashes.
Marvel Nemisis, 1 sec black screen before fights, seems fine.

Toshiba 512MB OEM memory cards auto set to x30 (Kingston Japan, Dane-Elec)

 

[neekstan]

I've got a Toshiba 1Gig SD-C01G (Same as 1Gig Kingston Japan card I believe). Works perfectly on x30 setting.

 

[helpme]

my Transcend 512MB High Speed 80x MicroSD auto set to 2x with the 1.1 loader but i set it to 4x myself & im not having any problems playing any games
i had a slight lag in AC:WW but after formating my sd card to fat with 64k clusters it runs at full speed now
i had no problems with lag with CastleVania POR even before i formated my sd card to 64k clusters

i hope when they release the finished 1.1 loader my card has a better auto set score cause 2x is shit for a 80x card

Well I kind of gave up on my SCDS1- several games were very slow (Metroid pinball, Tony Hawk Sk8land, Princess Peach, Animal crossing and a few others), so I ordered an R4DS as it advertises that there are no speed issues related to SD cards. Also it's £8 less than the SCDS1 her ein the UK. It arrived yesterday and so far it's great- everything plays full speed on the 1Gb Toshiba card that wouldn't boot with the SCDS1. Maybe firmware will fix this, but I'm not so sure. For the moment I'd advise waiting until the SD card compatibility is sorted, or there's some sort of compatibility list (although I'm not sure that would help, since some users with exactly the same model SD card are reporting no issues....).

 

[Sigma83]

Hi cgrieves,

I've been using the scds one for a few weeks now, and I will second what you said about metroid pinball and sk8land. Those definitely do chug on the supercard. I'd say the card is about 90% compatible with about 9% chuggin at one point or another, and 1% of games causing complete stalls.

 

[daanking]

I tried the sk8land and animal crossings, at first the framerate was awful, but after i changed the SD speed from 5 to 18 (the max my sandisk non-ultra can take), both play fine. So as always: the sd speed is key.

 

[crazyanz]

Only problems with frame rate i had so far was with FFIII but after getting a new rom that was solved to. But i use a san disk ultra II at 30 sd speed

sarah do you rehost that file the 1.1 i want to try it because with the one currently on the site , castlevania POR hangs on menu and sometimes in game and i have the japanese kingston 1GB (however everything else works fine)
