I'm using a M3 MiniSD Perfect + Passcard 3 and a 2GB PQI miniSD. I want to learn how to use cheats with my DS and GBA games. So if anyone could explain or give me links, I would appreciate it. Thanks! Guide for getting Dipstar to work: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/475759 Guide for GBA cheats: http://www.m3wiki.com/index.php/GBA_Cht EDIT Dipstar down, time to tackle GBA cheats.
Okay I was able to make Dipstar 061224 work (You can't trim your roms with this version, software reset is ok). Here is what I did: 1. Write dipstar.ds.gba to the GBA folder using Write GBA in the M3 game manager. I didn't touch any settings. 2. Right click on the dipstar.ds.gba (after you write it) in the M3 game manager and open the saver manager. 3. Click write (bottom left) and select dipstar.ds.sav to write it. 4. Write Izuna (4x DMA, GBA Linkage) to the NDS folder using Write NDS in the M3 Game Manager. (I think the GBA Linkage allows dipstar to work). 5. Close the M3 Game Manager. 6. Locate the NDS folder on your SD or CF. Drag the Izuna rom onto the m3dip.exe (that should of came with dipstar) and hit enter when prompted by the dos window. (Supposedly the game will not work now unless dipstar is activated). 7. Safely remove your SD or CF card and stick it back into your M3 and then put your adapter into your DS. 8. Power the DS on. 9. DON'T GO TO GBA MODE, go to GBA and press A once on dipstar.ds.gba, the screen should quickly blink. 10. Go back to your DS games and select Izuna. When you press A the second time hold L immediately afterwards. This should bring up the dipstar menu. 11. Choose a slot (button on the DS) to put the codes into (starting with the master code first). 12. When you are done entering codes, press start to save and exit. 13. Power off the DS. 14. Power on the DS. 15. Repeat 9-10 except instead of holding L, hold the button (or slot) you put the codes under. The game should load unless the cheats are wrong.

Each button you assign codes for always retains those codes even when playing different games. So, one button for each game. EDIT2 Why is it that games with 2 line master codes never work for me on dipstar 061224 such as Final Fantasy 3? http://www.funtopia.nl/cgi-bin/forumscri...BekijkOnderwerp It works when I only use the first line of the master code. So those are probably 2 options you have for the right master code. EDIT3 Seemingly, some games will not boot if they are patched by m3dip.exe. Also, some games codes don't work 100% (New Super Mario Bros) and some games the codes don't take any affect (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time).
