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

74 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.

Question Is there a way to get icons for GBA games in PicoLauncher?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My .nds games in PicoLauncher have their own small game icons, but my .gba games just show these pink icons instead.
Does anyone know how to get game icons for GBA games too?
Sorry I’m new to all this, so I might be missing something obvious. Thanks :)

Problem YS Menu doesn't show cheat (stock kernel does)

3 Upvotes

I have a R4i-SDHC card with YSMenu. When I select Pokemon Platinum (Italian Version) it won't show me the cheat checkbox. I use the same usercheat file as stock kernel and it works fine overthere. Is there any work around? I have the same problem With Pokemon Heart Gold (US)

Problem Mi R4 card shows “error” in white screen when loading

14 Upvotes

I just found my old R4 cart that my parents gifted me around 10 years ago. I remembered it worked for me for like 2 years with tons of games and then one day suddenly stopped working.

I haven’t seen anyone else have this problem, most people have the “menu?” Error, so I didn’t look at any tutorials. The most I have done is setting my console’s date to 2005.

I know next to nothing about R4 cartridges or anything like this. Sorry if it’s not enough info!
I just want to know if it can be salvaged?

I have this R4 since 2010 i think, my dad took care of it at the time and don't remenber how to setup it anymore,
because of a bad usb adaptator my sd card got corrupted, i got a save of what were on it, but i know it is not sufficient to get it to work so my questions are,

1/ does someone can explain (or have a link) how kernel works
2/ what do i have to do for it to work again
3/is it even possible to this day ?

i think it does not have a timebomb since it worked well last year and we didnt update it since 2014/15

sorry for the bad english
thanks in advance

DSPico won't enter BOOTSEL mode

1 Upvotes

Hi!
I received my DSPico yesterday, which already came pre-flashed.

Due to some slowdown issues compared to my other off-brand flashcart, I wanted to update the firmware to see if that solves the problem, which I have found myself unable to due to the pico not showing up on my laptop (both windows and linux).
I've tried holding the bootsel button, tried four different cables but to no avail.
Has anyone had a similar problem or knows how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

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

Thumbnail gallery
5 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'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.

Oops! EDGB Gone 0xc4 Error😞

Post image
2 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.
