    It worked well for a couple of hours, but not it keeps freezing when loading games. I used the guide, and tried re-installing the firmware and transferring it differently, and nothing worked. I have a kingston 1 gig micro-sd to go along with it if that makes any difference. I'm assuming mine is defective and i need to send it back. Can anyone clarify

    what software are you trying to run?

    are you pushing a or start to launch it?

    what firmware do you have installed?

    theres multiple possibilities, including your card being bad. try saving a large file to it (>50MB) and see if it craps out on you.. if it does its the card.. if not then those questions above will help out answering stuff regarding your m3

    How did you format the card (fat 16?)
    what cluster size did you use, are all the
    games freezing or just a select few?

    I recommend formatting with FAT16 with a Cluster Size of 64k

    You know of another pc program that will let me format with those options, the windows one isn't letting me choose the cluster size nor fat16

    its tricky in windows.. kind of hidden

    click Start, and then right click on "My Computer" and click "Manage"

    Click on "Disk Management", right click the drive and click "Format". It will let you choose FAT16/FAT32 and cluster size as well
