    Yes it says Passcard. Not endorsed by Nintendo. It looks fine I just can't seem to get anything up and running

    Try updating the M3 in GBA mode.

    Download the latest C22 update and put the update file in the root of your CF/SD card [bold]do not[/bold] insert the Passcard, turn the DS on and the slect GBA game, the M3 should ask if you want to update, choose yes.

    Afetr it's finished updating try using th Passcard again and see if it works.

    I'd say you have a fecked up M3, return it to where you got it and get a replacement.
