Oh, so thats what its all about huh? So I can save normally in all games if I go to the 'Save options', but once my battery is out, I can't go ahead and shut off my DS because I'll loose my progress correct? If thats all I'm missing, I won't mind much then. So in other words the autosave thing is just for savety measures, incase you're in a rush and need to shut off your DS quickly but have no time to go to a save spot in the game to save, right? Thanks again pakixd!
yeah pretty much.. its also convenient. I know i would rather just shut off my DS to have it save than press ABXY or whatever the combo is to do the soft-reset and then have it save
Thank you!!! So would you still recommend me on getting the M3 Lite? or SCL/G6? And if so, so these are the 4 things I'd need to get.. Nintendo DS Lite Jetblack Passcard 3 + M3 Lite http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/dd-ds-m3lpass.html (This is the right one right? Just making sure. :X ) microSD Reader Sandisk 1GB microSD ( Any other brand you might recommend?) And thats it?
if you're looking to play GBA games, I would recommend the M3 Lite over everything else in the market. If GBA is not that high of a priority for you, you might be able to save a few bucks going Supercard.. but I'd still stick with the M3 lite over anything As far as brands go, I would recommend Kingston over the Sandisk. I've heard of problems with Sandisk and M3 Check here: http://m3wiki.com/index.php?title=Media_Card to see if the card you listed (or something similar) is on there.. just to make sure it works Overall, though, thats all you would need (assuming the Sandisk works)
So I updated my list, I just saw the prices of Kingston and they seem a bit cheaper than the Sandisk, which is a good thing. So would either one of these work good with M3 Lite? Kingston 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820134029 & Kingston 1GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820160032 And then the combo that Divineo sells, (once they do again.) http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/dd-ds-m3lpass.html And just your typical NDS Lite.. And I'll be set ? Thanks pakixd and everyone else for helping me on this.
Zyoren, those are both just standard SD cards - not MicroSD from what I can tell. Either of these would work with the M3 Lite: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...14&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=68&Manufactory=1183
Hey Zyoren, I've read briefly of on the guides to using roms with the pass me cards and flash card 3 for the ds lite. Sorry guys, I'm a newbie, but I just got a ds lite and need some guidance and insight. But that website that you posted www.divineo...... its a good site to get the cards from? And I've heard everyone saying with the m3 lite and pass card 3, there's no programming needed except you have to get the latest firmware onto to pass card 3. Is there a step by step procedure on how to do this and can I simply download the nds roms from any website and drop them onto the pass card w/ the microSD card onto it (but I read the game has to flashed or something? first) Maybe not? But once the .nds file is on the card, is that all? Please I'm a newbie but willing to learn. Thanks guys.
divineo was a great site for me to get from... I always thought the firmware was upgrading the m3, not the passcard 3 tho?
yeah, upgrading only takes place on the M3. Passcard doesn't need any type of upgrades.. theres no way to write to it anyway
Newbie question here... Sorry. If I get M3 and Passcard. Will I really need to download a program to play games? Does M3 come with the software (I HAVE read through the forum... I guess I'm just not getting it). So basically without downloading a backup of a game I currently own. Can I make a backup OF a game I currently own just by putting it in the DS lite and Using M3 to make the backup? How would I get the ROM off of the Cartridge? Thanks
The M3 will come with software on a CD, however the software is constantly being updated to inlcude patches for new games and add new features. You should always keep botht he M3 gamemanager anf firmware up-to-date for all games to work.
There is a dumper file located online that you can use to backup your own games. You can get it from dualscene.net I beleive.. or at least you can get the tutorial on how to use it there
Does the M3 Lite work on a regular DS? Would it work if I cut off that hanging piece of plastic that pervents it from going in? Anyone have any guides on using an M3 lite with the M3 Simply? Thanks,
The M3 Lite does work with the original DS, but I wouldn't recommend cutting the sticking out bit and shoving it in, rather you should buy a GBA size case for it and swap the cicuit over. Plug in the M3 DS Simply Plug in the M3 Lite Turn on the System - It automatically lods the 3 DS Simply Choose the third icon (Boot slot-2 device) - The M3 Lite now loads.
Where can I get one of these DS regular sized carts? How do you load the software and games unto the Lite? I tried it and got a blank screen when I tried to boot slot 2. Thanks,
GBA Cases are available here The M3 Lite dosn't need any software on it for the menu to load, therefore it should not blank screen you. Are you sure the M3 Lite is connected properly?
