This site (http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/) is probably the best one-stop shop when it comes to checking firmware for ds cartridges, especially if you have more than one version.

There are also some useful utilities/tools.

You need to use the relevant firmware that is compatible with your card ... if you got the card with firmware on it and your not sure check the link in the above post and just choose the card you have
