SDRAM Error ???

[Speedu]

I Have Passcard V3 and SD Supercard 1.62fw and 1GB Kingston SD card. Can't get anything working. Tried to load GBA roms, DS roms and homebrew. White screens after loading. 3 Days reading forums and tried EVERYTHING. I'm starting to think that Supercard is broken. In selftest it says SDRAM Error and gives big list of numbers and letters. Anyone else got this error and still can run games or homebrew???

return it, I'm pretty sure if it has an sdram error then it is broken

Yes, you have a bad SuperCard. Please return the card back to the store you bought it from as they will take it back. There is not much more you can do other then to flash it with an older firmware if thats even possible.

Like 5thelement said, it's broken and you should return it for a working one.

Will do that. Thanks guys.

My friend and I ordered a supercard minisd a few days ago and they've been both working fine. Today, he was testing out some homebrew and went to load a program. Instead of the 8124k that it was preloading, it just kept going and going and he had to shut the ds off. Now everything he tries to load does the same thing. GBA games just freeze at the GBA logo. I did a self check on his SC and it says SDram Error with a bunch of numbers. I don't think he'll be running anymore homebrew for a long time.

I've had that same thing happen to me but I just shut it down and turned it back on again and everything worked fine.
What was the progam he was loading?

It was some media player... he's trying to get a good mp3 player with EQ so he was trying everything he could download on usenet. If I take out his minisd card and put it in my SC, it runs fine, but no card/ds/sc combination will work with his. It's hosed and he's going to send it back.

It could just be a coincidence that the media player he installed caused the problem, or it could just be a bad card. Electronics break, that's understandable. That's why we ordered from a local place and paid a little more just incase.

I stay away from USENET when it comes to DS homebrew.

Yep, lesson learned. :p
