Thrills & Woes of the Super Card (GBA)

[nightrnr]

Well, I'm at a dead end.

My success is that I did flash the firmwares to my DS Lite. They do work and my DS is still functional. It supposedly acts as though you have a passme device to allow DS app access to your GBA slot.

My failure is that neither firmware will load DS roms. They recognize the extension, but when I try to load the game, it still acts like it's a GBA game and copies to the SuperCard RAM (which obviously won't work).

Even poorer results with my EZ Flash IV, but that's beyond my initial plan.

FWNitro seems pretty neat overall, if it would actually do what it's purported to. Trying to dump DS cards to the SuperCard doesn't work, as it just hangs on "initializing FAT" at 0.00%

Not sure what else to try, but I might be stretching staying on topic with my own thread.
I just want to know the full capabilities of the SuperCard.

I have yet to try much for homebrew programs and emulators.
GBArunner doesn't work, but maybe I'm not as surprised there. As odd as that sounds, if it worked, it would allow it to run more games on a DS that the SuperCard struggles with.

Basically, I want to turn the SuperCard into a DS flashcart.

So I have learned that DS games need to be patched through the Supercard program, just like GBA games.
This gives them a "dsq" extension (Ex, "Mario Kart.nds.dsq"

So far, I've only tried Mario Kart DS and it just loads to a white screen.
I tried this with and without reset patch.
I could try others, but if it doesn't even play Mario Kart, I am not hopeful.

Anyone know if this is worth further experimentation?

I wonder if there is a way to make emulators work on this (in DS mode). So far I've only tried GBArunner (not an emulator exactly), and jenesisDS.
Genesis in particular would be kind of neat. But both attempts failed.

I'm about ready to go back to my DSi's for most of my DS gaming needs.
