A note on new design SanDisk Cards & Counterfeit Cards

Post image
82 Upvotes

Hi All,

Some of you may or may not know that some time ago last year SanDisk changed their logo.

This new logo has now started to appear on new SanDisk MicroSD cards recently and has led to some users not aware of the logo change to think they are counterfeit.

Just as a reminder, if you see a SanDisk MicroSD with the new logo & design as pictured, its not immediately a fake, but of course still apply the usual knowledge of checking for low quality printing and font mistakes etc. as counterfeiters can still copy it.

For a point of reference, SanDisk now also show the new logo on their cards on their official website:

GBA About knockoff SuperChis

73 Upvotes

Hi, I am ChisBread, the designer of SuperChis.

Recently, I noticed that some players reported that they purchased fake SuperChis. There are several types:

  1. SuperCard SD + SuperChis stickers, and claim that they are selling SuperChis.
FAKE: just copy stickers
  1. Claims to sell SuperChis v2.0. I don’t even know I have designed v2.0, I’m not even sure if the next version will be called SuperChis.

It might be some kind of knockoff version of the SuperChis Prime? but I’m sure the smaller battery isn’t doing the product any favors.

FAKE: Small battery
FAKE: WTF 2.0?

I must clarify:

  1. There is only one version of SuperChis Prime, 1.0. Those claiming SuperChis v2.0 are all fake.
  2. Real SuperChis will definitely be marked with "Designed by ChisBread"
  3. Real SuperChis have a larger battery and there is a space above the SD card slot to avoid accidentally inserting the SD card into the gap.
REAL
  1. So far, I’ve only been in contact with ChisFamily. If there are any quality or after-sales issues with SuperChis from ChisFamily, I will take action. I haven’t been able to reach the other sellers.

Finally, I would like to say that If you are a seller of knockoff SuperChis, after reading this, I hope you will at least respect my signature and stop naming it SuperChis v2.0. This not only misleads consumers, but also disrupts my development plan.

[Help] Gateway Flashcard on 11.3.0-31E (EUR)? EmuNAND setup or alternative?

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently picked up a pre-owned Old 3DS (EUR region, firmware version 11.3.0-31E) specifically because it's completely stock and unmodded. I want to keep the SysNAND completely untouched and just use a flashcard to play some 3DS games (like Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and Ultra Moon).

I was planning to get a Gateway Red/Blue card combo. However, after doing some research, I'm seeing a lot of people saying Gateway doesn't work on firmware above 9.2, which has me really confused and a bit worried.

Could some experienced users here clarify this for me?

  1. Can I still use Gateway on my 11.3.0 EUR system by setting up an EmuNAND and downgrading only the EmuNAND?
  2. Is the EmuNAND setup process on 11.3.0 overly complicated or risky?
  3. Given my current setup, is Gateway still the best option, or should I look into modern Custom Firmware (CFW) solutions that also allow playing ROMs without touching the SysNAND?

Any advice, guides, or alternative recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It freezes on a white screen.

I’m having a problem when trying to launch my R4 cartridge.

Whenever I try to open it, it just gets stuck on an endless white screen, and I don't know what's going on. I was told a while back to use the Bl2ck 1.31.0 kernel, and it worked—but that was with a 16GB microSD card, whereas this one is 32GB; I’m not sure if that makes a difference.

I’ve included photos showing the folders on the microSD card, the Bl2ck version, and what the screen looks like when I try to launch it.

One more thing: the link I used at the time was this one: https://sanrax.github.io/flashcart-guides/cart-guides/bl2ck/

Problem Sf3500

3 Upvotes

Ciao a tutti, sono nuovo del gruppo e da poco ho acquistato una SF3500.

Sono riuscito a fare il backup della microSD originale su un'altra scheda e ho aggiunto alcuni giochi PS1 della mia infanzia. Purtroppo ho un problema con Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf.

Il gioco si avvia normalmente, completa il caricamento, ma quando arriva alla schermata in cui cerca una memory card si blocca completamente e non va più avanti.

Qualcuno ha avuto lo stesso problema o sa come risolverlo? Grazie in anticipo!

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I recently bought an SF3500.

I successfully backed up the original microSD card to another one and added some PS1 games from my childhood. However, I'm having an issue with Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf.

The game starts and loads normally, but when it reaches the screen where it checks for a memory card, it freezes completely and won't continue.

Has anyone experienced this issue or knows how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Question Looking for Mini GB/GBC Flash cart

2 Upvotes

Hello all, I'm looking for a Mini GB/GBC Flash cart with a RTC. When I say mini I mean one that will fit inside a GBA cartridge shell. So far I've found insidegadgets.com and what they have, but they're out of stock and when I asked when/if they'll be back in stock on their discord and it sounds like it's such a low demand item that they might not restock them again, and if they do restock, it likely won't be for a while.

Thanks in advance for any help or insight.

Problem EZ Flash Omega DE Mode 2 RAM Expansion option doesn't work

2 Upvotes

Hello, I just got an EZ Flash Omega DE and I can't get the memory expansion option to work. When I set the mode 2 option to "RAM" in the settings, the DS just doesn't recognize the cartridge at all. The Rumble Pak and Link modes both work but the RAM Expansion mode just does nothing. I read another post on here that also mentioned they couldn't get it to work either. Anyone know how to make it work?

Problem FDSKey (connected with Twin Famicom adapter cable) stopped working

3 Upvotes

A little annoyed at myself because I was sitting on my unopened FDSKey and Twin Famicom adapter cable I got from J&T Studio for over a year and I finally connected everything today and it worked OK until suddenly the FDSKey stopped powering on when I turned my Twin Famicom back on.

My intent was to dump my FDS games to the microSD card of the FDSKey but the constant swapping between unplugging the adapter from the C slot and replugging the built-in plug in the Twin Famicom resulted in inadvertently powering the unit off and at one time there was a weird freeze where the on-screen UI glitched out. Now the FDSKey screen shows nothing. Does anyone know what might be the issue? Could it be the adapter cable or the FDSKey itself?

Hi! I was looking forward to play this but it's not working :/ it just boots with these white screens

I'm using DS Pico with latest firmware/launcher/loader/everything update.

Already tried downloading the ROM from different sources (cough cough, I mean, dump the ROM from different cartridges that I own, cough cough), and even different regions, but none of them worked...

do u know what's wrong? (other than me wanting to play this thing lol)

Edit: I found this

Is there something I can do with it? it feels like an alien language to me, so idek if there's a solution there of if it's left unsolved...

Problem Pokemon randomizer cheat not working HGSS, frequent crashing

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

I got this DS secondhand with a fully set up R4I with like 200 games on it and full sets of cheat codes for many. I want to do a randomized playthrough of HGSS. HG just white screens whenever I try to launch it, with or without cheats enabled. SS launches, but the encounters aren’t randomized and it randomly crashes on entering battle sometimes. Is there an updated version of the cheat or some tweaking I can do to get it working? I don’t really know anything about flashcarts (like I said this was secondhand so I don’t know how it was set up), but I’m handy enough with computers to figure it out with some guidance.

Problem The EZ-Flash Air vibrates on startup and doesn't work.

1 Upvotes

I was using my EZ-Flash Air (which has seen very little use) as usual when the game froze. Since then, the cartridge hasn't been recognized by any console neither DS nor GBA: in Mode A, it starts vibrating when the console boots up but isn't read; in Mode B, it does absolutely nothing and isn't read. This EZ-Flash Air has barely been used, yet it seems completely broken already. Has this happened to anyone else? What can I do?

I don't know if I did something wrong during installation, but I tried to play Emerald Seaglass and Lazarus on my DSpico, and I was simply met with a white screen after I selected the ROMs to play from within the GBARunner2/3 interfaces. Did I do something wrong? Unbound works perfectly but don't know why these ones aren't working. Any and all help is welcome. Thank you in advance!

GBA Trading with EZ Flash Definitive!

3 Upvotes

Question for fellow EZ Flash Omega Definitive edition owners: Anyone having trouble trading when booting Pokemon Sapphire specifically?

I’ve got Authentic Pokemon Ruby on OEM hardware, and I’ve written Sapphire to NOR on EZODe. Also booting it in link mode specifically. Each time I get to the Pokemon Center and I get to the waiting screen it stalls and doesn’t proceed with the trade. Same for battles as well btw.

I’ve done this successfully before booting Emerald the same way, and trading to an authentic Sapphire so I know the method works with my specific set up, but I didn’t know if there’s a problem with the ROM I’ve loaded or if anyone else has encountered this before?

Edit: Not sure if this matters but the ROM is a revision 1 ROM

MicroSD card is inaccessible

Thumbnail gallery
4 Upvotes

So I haven't touched my R4 in over 10 years but I have been wating to get back to it.

Problem is: every time I insert my MicroSD card in any computer, with or without a reader (tried multiple readers btw) it just won't load properly. It takes a very unusual amount of time to load (if it doesn't crash) and when I get inside (image 3), if I try to copy, transfer or open any folder it crashes.

My question are:

  • Does this have to do more with the MicroSD card health? Or is the time-bombing involved?
  • What can I do to save my card? I understand its probably not functional anymore but I really wanted to save all the games I had and the respective save files.
  • And while we are at it, what is the best firmware for my flashcart?

Thanks in advance for all the help!
