to iden well done on the skin 'cause mine is playing up and the 'NDS' folder should be on the root of the microsd and the touch screen imo can be awkward at time highlight with the d-pad and press A to open the menu for the game(softreset,slo-mo, etc.) and just press A again(the cursor is on the start as default)...this is all I see could be wrong unless the folder is named wrong or if your games are still a zip folder? but its probably a tempramental touch screen. to godsl no problem dude I hope you found the site I mentoined. to chaotic_g is that geo? sorry for off-topic.
Thank you for the props on the skin, but highlighting the nds game icon with my d-pad and pressing 'A' is still not working. I am wondering what is wrong with it. I'll post a video of my problem soon.
Iden, if you have not tried already, try removing everything off the card, format the card and putting everything back on it. Also download a new firmware and put that on. The 'NDS' folder does not go in the 'SYSTEM' folder, both folders should be in the root of the card (not in any other folder)
hey mr_hankey..do you know if wifi works with back-up games loaded in M3real? (I used a rom trimmer but it said it doesn't affect wifi settings.)
Yes WFC works fine, as does multicart play. The only one I am not sure of is Download play (where you send part of the game to a nearby DS to do mulitplayer), the M3 team say it can do it, but I cannot test it myself.
My friend tried to download 'Mario kart DS' and he got to the 'Nintendo' logo and it froze up. Skinning the M3 Real is a pain I have got the 'DESKTOP' to work at 18 bit depth(I think it was... I remember setting it to what the site recomended) but I also lowered 'TOP_DESKTOP' to that depth and it didn't work so I raised it to 32 and it still doesn't work. Softreset doesn't work on 'mysims' and the default cheats (cheat.DB) do not work with 'Megaman starforce: dragon'
I think I'm having the same problem as Iden. I've place the latest and greatest system folder (v2.9 English) in the root of the SD card. Created an "NDS" folder in the root folder, placed my games in it. Once turning on my DS, the M3 Real Operating system starts up, everything works fine up until I start-up a game in the games icon. Once pushing "A" to start-up a game, the DS freezes not continuing to the next option menu, and stays frozen until I turn the DS off/on. Also I've noticed, in the games menu the icon pictures of the game doesn't display next to the game. So I reformat the card (both fat and fat32) and restore everything back, and the something still happens. The Micro SD card I'm using is an San Disk 6GB card that is practically filled up with ROMs (10 mb of available space). Tried removing a couple of games (750mb of available space). Go in to the Games option, notice the picture icons display now, but when starting up a game it still freezes =(. So than I restart the DS, once starting up I go to File manager (the folder icon), and go the "NDS" folder, and I am able to start-up a game, but no option menu for the game (like Soft resetting or cheats). I've tried a 2gb micro SD card and it works without a problem. Not sure if my 6GB San Disk has anything to do with this. I am really frustrated in trying to get this to work normally. Any suggestion to get my 6GB Card to work would be greatly appreciated.
Do you have more than 128 games in the NDS folder? As discussed earlier in the thread there is currently a limit of 128 games per folder, but you can reate folders NDS1, NDS2 etc. for more games.
Use a reliable ROM site, just Google Romulation. Make custom AR cheat files, using the standard XML type file yourself after getting codes from... Google again. I don't see the point in skinning to be honest. Yes I am chaotic_george.
Hum, I've must of missed that portion of this thread. I think I may have over 128 games in just that one NDS folder. I'll try creating mutiple folder as suggested, tonght. At last some hope, Thanks so much
At bomtom you can download games(the disk is relatively useless as everything is updated regularly and you must re-download the new stuff) on the microSD make a folder called 'NDS' and google 'romulation' OR 'ndsroms' and download them and unzip them to the 'NDS' folder they should play(make sure it also has a system folder which can be downloaded from the homepage of M3 its www.m3adapter.com I think) At 123124125 it depends on the homebrew but place it on the root of the microSD and m3real should do the rest then select 'mycard' from the menu on the ds and go to the file and play.
Hello all, I have an original DS. Is there anything I can use with my M3 DS card to use the GBA games and the browser. If I missed it somewhere in the 11 pages in the past please excuse me. I would just like to know and if so what can be used? I have the Rumble Pack (only for lite) and the M3ds card now, just ordered and on the way is the another M3DS, Rumble pack, and GBA card ( I think only for the Lite also). Please help me Im old and confused. LOL
I may have figured this out. Will this work for my above question. http://www.realhotstuff.com/expansion-pack-size-p-212.html
Don't double post just edit the first one in future please. Yes ezflash 3 in 1 will work but the gba cart can be unscrewed using a + screwdriver and placed into a GBA cart however GBA carts use a Y screw and most people dont have that but if you do then you can use it in DS(you are right gba pak is for DSlite) however I strongly reccomend not bothering with Nintendo ds browser as it is very annoying very slow and useless. I do however suggest DSOrganise I haven't tried its browser because I have nintendo usb adapter and it needs a router but its sure to be faster and doesn't need a RAM pak.
Ok thank you Ill check on that DSOrganise to see what I can do with it. I will from now on NOT double post. I'm new please excuse my ignorance on this policy, I did a ton of reading last night before I posted and I didnt read about that. Again sorry. Thank You for the help. Vette66
