White screen on Downloaded NDS games

Hello everyone, i would really appreciate any help.

When i try to run my games in NDS that have been put into my SD card by using the SuperCardsd program, NDS would allow me to chose what games to run in the upper screen. i select the game *.nds file and pressed A button, it came up with a loading screen, when the loading is done it would be stuck wtih a white top screen with a black screen at the bottom of NDS. So the main problem is that i am not able to run any of my games because it is stuck on this white blank screen.

I have read the Supercard manual on
http://www.supercard.cn/eng/manual/index.htm
and i have followed it's instructions by downloading Supercard, then running it to load games into SD card.

I have also followed instructions on this Website for Dummies
http://users.skynet.be/DuNe/Prive/su...d4dummies.html
I followed all this website's steps in running my game, everthing is identical except that when i try to run the game the bottom screen staies turned off and my NDS would get stuck on a white screen when loading the game. The instruction website for dummies showed that when NDS is turned on, a picture of Supercard DS would appear.

I have loaded 9 different games into my SD card to test whether it is the games that i have that are not working. So i have loaded multiple *.DQS and *.SAV into my SD card with the use of SuperCardsd program. I have found that all 9 games to have the same problem, they all get stuck at the white screen.

I have checked my Supercard to see whether it is broken, i incerted SD card into Supercard then by holding L&R and turning NDS on. The testing screen says Test SRAM, SRAM ok! so i assume it is not broken.

I have brought my Nintendo DS along with Superpass and Supercard (SD), a SD card, a original NDS game (Nintendogs), USB card reader.

Running my game steps in detail:
I have downloaded games and stored in my computer, they are *.nds files. i have downloaded Supercard v2.51 for SD Version. I run SuperCard and click add, then i click my games *.nds files and click open. I set the options for SuperCard optimised for SD card as instructed on Website for Dummies. I set the path where i want my *.nds files to be placed at. I click Out and wait for the files to be placed. I then copy all files placed in my directory (*.DQS &*.SAV) into my SD card by using the USB. I then put the SD card into my SuperCard and the SuperCard into the GBA slot of NDS. I press the power button on NDS and top screen of NDS displays Gameboy advanced, bottom screen staies black. NDS top screen loads into a window screen where i select games i want to load. i select the game i want to run and press A button, it loads and finally turns into a white screen where it is stuck

main problems i would like answers to are:
(1)Why do my games get stuck at the white screen?
(2)Do i need to use Superpass to run my games?
(3)Maybe the 9 games where i got are all corrupt, can someone put me in the right direction to where i can get NDS games?
(4)Are there any steps that i have missed? maybe you could give me a link or write a step by step guide so me and everyone else could be enlightened?

Oh great ones, share your knowledge.
Much appreciated

Below are pictures of my NDS, Supercard, Superpass, the game option list ,the blank white screen and shows the deactivated bottom screen.

The games are failing because you are trying to run them in Gameboy mode (if you are booting in NDS mode you would not get the gameboy screen). You need to boot the NDS in NDS mode either using the superpass and/or flashing your firmware with flashme v6.

Do a search as there are a ton of threads on how to properly load NDS from thr GBA slot.

Dude, you're running it in GBA mode. That's why it's not working. When you start it up in GBA mode, the DS automatically turns off the faster ARM9 processor, the second screen, WiFi, the touch sensors, and all that good stuff and basicly becomes a large GBA. You'd have better luck trying to run a DS game on a GBA.

Boot using your SuperPass to start it in DS mode.

Thanks for replies

superpass is in your first pic... put it in the nds-hole(?) and then the nds-game into the superpass.

then you wont need to flash or to know what flashme is since you dont seem too bright on that.

mine comes up with 2 white screens when i do that?

I've been having a similar issue, I have a normal NDS with Supercard miniSD and Superpass, it's been acting strange lately (namely since the newest damned update), I boot the Supercard first and run asme-0.gba to boot the DS mode, it says "Writing SRAM... done." as usual, and then I insert the Superpass, turn the DS off and then on again, and it gives me white on both screens... I can't play a thing
