I posted about this in replies before, but what you need to do:

1) get the newest usgard 1.1 (it was re-released a day after to fix the
Luxury Shell Bug)

2) send the backup of your choice to your calculator

3) send PATCHROM.85S from your PROGRAMS directory that came with usgard to
your calculat.r

4) it will work now.
