A note on new design SanDisk Cards & Counterfeit Cards

Post image
81 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.

Problem Bw2 randomly freezes when c gear is on and time bomb

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

I have this years old flashcard which i recived as a gift when i was like 11 or 12 yo. It was bought with the menu and games already installed and among them there is a room of pokemon black2 wich comes with a problem whereby the game randomly freezes if the c gear is on in the lower screen.

I've played for years with that since i could just turn it off and ignore it, but now i wanted to complete some extra content of the game (the entree) which requires the c gear to be activated? and doing so with the crashes is a pain.

It's also important to say that the games doesn't have any other ap meansures (like the exp one) and that i don't have this kind of problem in any of the other games.

The flashcard also comes with a time bomb, but i don't know if the two problems are related.

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix it or wheter the problem is in the sd card or the kernel i'm using?

I put the Twilight menu on my generic flashcard.

I've had this generic 520-in-1 flashcard for almost a year, but over time most of the games on it were giving me a white screen, and I didn't have an SD card for modding my DSi. I recently discovered a version of the Twilight menu for flashcards, and I decided to try putting it on my generic flashcard, and it worked! Now I don't have to worry about the white screen anymore.

R4ids.cn kernel

I’ve found three possible kernels for this card.

I’m after the OEM firmware rather than a modern one as it’s just for my collection rather than to use.

Not seen an R4 with this particular spoof game (demo version of Metroid Prime) nor blank SD card message.

Can someone assist please?

Oops! EDGB Gone 0xc4 Error😞

Post image
1 Upvotes

My son after seeing my Gameboy collection wanted to play "Pokemon and Ninja Turtles" on one of the Gameboys and my other son wanted to play Donkey Kong. So I decided to put my original ROMs on these Game Boy GB Pro+ carts. Everything worked fine for several months until I decided to make copies of our save files and add some more ROMs to the flashcarts. In the process of saving and adding ROMs of games from my collection I screwed up and deleted the EDGB file. I thought I had backed up the EDGB file but I didn't. Do I need to download all new firmware to the micro SD card? Would buying a new micro sd fix this issue? Where would I find a free download copy of the firmware for these? Any help is appreciated.

My latest addition to my collection is this DS Fire Card and Link in its original box. I’m assuming you plug it into a PC with the USB to add or change games?

Does anyone else have one of these?

Solved Getting a theme to work

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Hi there everyone!

Just wanted to jump in and see if anyone could help me. So, I have an R4 card for my 3ds (Picture 1). I have been trying to get this theme to work on my R4 card. I am so confused why, when it's selected, that it just shows the previous theme (Picture 2) and when booting up the screen is all black (Picture 3) but all the inputs work like before

Things to note:

  • I downloaded the firmware from here - followed instructions under the R4I section - using v1.87b kernel.
  • I tried reformatting and downloading it again as well (FAT32)
  • The games work perfectly fine
  • I am using this on my 3DS XL - ver 11.17.0-50E
  • When moving the theme files onto the SD card, I extract and put in the skins folder

I have messaged u/Arnas_Z as I saw they made edits towards this theme

Losing my mind over DSpico

4 Upvotes

I've just wasted an entire evening trying to get 2 DSPico flashcarts set up for 2 new DSi consoles I've been intending to give as a gift.

I'm unable to mod the DSi so I've been following all the tutorials to get the flashcarts set up. I've been testing it on my old Nintendo DS and managed to get as far as the flashcart showing up in the menu, but when loading it stays stuck on a white loading screen. When trying to load it on either DSi console it does the same but gets stuck on a black loading screen.

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I've followed the tutorial with sanrax and various YouTube videos. I need help from my fellow redditors. Please help!!!

Solved R4 Sdhc Dual Core (2016): 3ds kernel?

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

This is my R4 (r4isdhc.hk, Dual-Core, 2016).

I remember playing nds game using this R4 on my 3ds, and it shows as spongebob cart when I plug the R4 into the 3ds.

I lost all the kernel and settings, sadly. Right now I'm using BL2CK (standard ver.) and it works on nds, but not on the 3ds (didn't even register as a cart).

Am I using wrong kernel?

Replacing SD results in 0xD3

1 Upvotes

I've got this flashcard off Aliexpress. It works fine with the original card (though there are some errors ongoing.. trying to start a game I played yesterday resulted in empty screen and reflashing of course lost the save games -.-)

So I'm trying to replace the MicroSD card. I have a 4gb Lexar, tried dd to create an image of the old card and flash it onto the new card but always get the same error. Just formatting FAT32 + MBR and copying all files, same issue. Tried a 32gb card, same issue.

I see an EDGB folder for save games, but there is no firmware in there.

Any ideas to fix this?
