Of course, this assumes a couple things. Save chip being the ident factor for which microSD adapter was reinserted, save chip being available on reinsert... I only know for shure at this point MK5 (and likely all the other similar cards) ID as a 2mbit save chip using cardme.


I think it would be useful if we can get more data on which slot-1 cards use eeprom which is compatible with commercial cart eeprom.

I have a small test app for this:
http://davr.org/ds2/eepinator.nds

1. press 'START' to bypass first sceen
2. press 'A' on 'DS Cart Info'
3. post what card you have, and what you get for type, size & ID

List:

Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt: type=1, size=512, id=ff,ff -- for comparison
my DS-X 1.1.0: type=-1, size=0, id=ff,ff -- seems to not be supported
another DS-X (fw 1.1.0): type: 0 size: 8192 ID: 0, ff -- why different results??
Datel Games N' Music: type: 0 size: 8192 ID: 1, 1
Games n Music: type: 0, size: 8192, ID: 0,0
R4: type: -1 size: 0 ID: ff, ff
UFPEX 4G: type: 3 size: 262144 ID: ff,ff
UFPEX 16G / MK5 / DS Linker: type: 3, size: 262144 ID: ff,ff
MK5: type: -1 size: 0 ID: ff, ff
Ninja Pass X9: type: -1, size: 0, ID: ff,ff
EZ Flash V: type: -1, size: 0, ID: ff,ff
DS Link: type:0, size:8192, ID: 0,0
M3 DS Simply: type: -1, size:0, ID: ff,ff

loading the .nds file through WMB (inserted card before starting download), and from GBAMP (inserted card after program loaded):

MK5: type: -1 size: 0 ID: ff,ff
Datel Games N' Music: type: 0 size: 8192 ID: 1,1
R4: type: -1 size: 0 ID: ff,ff

Loading the .nds file on the slot-1 card:

MK5: type: 0 size: 8192 ID: ff,ff
Datel Games N' Music: type: -1 size: 0 ID: ff,ff
R4: type: -1 size: 0 ID: ff,ff
