I'm new to this homebrew/backup scene with nintendo. As I understand, the supercard takes sd memory cards and you can load games/movies/cheats to the sd card. Do I need to flash and install any program loader to the gba at all? or will the gba read all files from the sd card automatically?

and what's the max size of the sd card for this application? will it take a 4gig sd card?

 

sd card? only one I'm familiar with is the gba cartridge flash drives.

 

you need to run a .pff patcher against the roms to make them play. When the game is patched, the .nds file gets dragged to the SD card.

insert and play ... I think.

 

any rundowns on this??

i'm still confused h:

 

if you have the supercard ... what you do is ...

download the HOMEBREW rom
apply a specific game patch for the specific HOMEBREW
(you need to do this because of the way the GBA or NDS rom save works)
after you're patched (use a .pff program) ... click and drag the patched HOMEBREW rom from your PC to your SD card. (you'll need a memory card reader)

remove the card from the reader and insert into the supercard.

 

thanks for the rundown
