Ok i just installed everything (M3 lite, passcard3 with 1gig microsd sandisk card in my ds lite) and i used the "write NDS" function then put a game on and it worked fine. Then i get a game with a .gba extension and loaded up "game manager" again and used the "Write gba" function, then stick it in my DS and i click on the game and it gets to the loading screen and stays there, it seems like it doesnt want to load. This also happens with the built in emulator for nintendo games or the emulator i have(NESDS). Can comeone help here, am i doing something wrong? Oh yeah im using 1X4DMA Trim ROM and i have the latest firmware v29 in case that matters.
Ok i figured out half the problem. I was loading the game with the A button instead of the Start button. This got my "starsky and hutch" game loading and working, but now GTA advanced only loads, and after it loads it goes to a blank screen and it just freezes there. Any ideas?
GBA games require you to use the M3 in GBA mode (remove the Pass Card, or press Start in the Main Menu in DS mode) Try using different settings when patching the GBA game over. Make sure the ROMs ae not the problem by testing them in a reliable PC emulator (such as Visual Boy Advance)
if i format with fat32, which cluster size should i use? Also, what different settings should i change and why?
I use FAT32 and the Windows default cluster size, and everything works fine. Any, they could be why it's not working. to try and get the game(s) working...
ok ill try formating differently and maybe use the soft patch option. Maybe gta advance just isnt compatible with m3 lite. I saw in another thead on a diferent forum with a list of games that dont work and gta advance was on eof them, but some people have said it worked for them
