Open the NDS menu and press start Choose the folder in which your games are Press A twice Select rom Play ... This has been mentioned before but I don't know if you have tried it.
Hey everyone, i've been lingering over this forum for a long time. I got an m3 real a week ago and is setupped thanks to the great guide mr hanky wrote. i can play roms perfectly and also view pictures. but i don't know how to play movies??? i downloaded a bunch of videos from you tube using real player, and i tried putting the videos into my 4gb kingston micro sd. i turned on my ds and went to the media section i opened up videos and opened up the folder wich i stored the videos in(folder name is movies) and ...nothing happened. can somebody help me??? anyone help a noob???
You obviously didn't read this entire thread... That is less a problem and more of an ignorance on your part because most here knew or have learnt that the DS only plays certain formats... the most common of which being .dpg. Go and download moonshell which comes with a free movie converter and then turn your realplayer videos into a .dpg.
The M3 factory have now released the DS iTouch, with an improved GUI that supports the touchscreen, faster loading and better ROM support. I can highly reccomend it
The iTouch has been out for a while, it is a 'budget' card, although the GUI is an improvement compared to the M3 Real, the M3 Real will soon be getting the Sakura firmware which will be a vast improvement. The Japanese version of Sakura has been released and has had some English translations done. The official English Sakura should be released soon.
Sorry if this has been mentioned or it sounds dumb, but i can't get the moonshell 171 dpgenc exe to convert my realplayer videos for me. I left the realplayer videos in my 'movies' folder on my sd. i dragged a video from there on to the dpgence window where it says 'please drag and drop the movie file(s). please never drop the format that cannot correspond' when i right click a certain video and click properties i know that that the video format is .flv and the type of file is flash video. i then drag the video onto the dpgence window, i wait for a while, a cross icon appears and says 'the audio stream was not to be aquired. Please try by another method.H:\Movies\YouTube-and the video name and format.' am i doing something wrong??? can anyone please help me??? i also tried downloading GBalpha NDS movie converter and when i tried to click on add then 'movies' on my sd card and there was nothing there. I then clicked on the arrow next types of file and clicked on all files, my realplayer videos showed up. i tried clicking on a video and open and this is what it said, cannot add the file-and the name of my video and the format(flv), either this file is not valid or the Converter does not support the file format' Help me anyone...
If i remember correctly dpgenc can only convert videos that your Windows Media Player can view, so in order to convert FLV videos your going to need to find a codec that allows you to watch them in Windows media player first. This download will enable WMP to view FLV files: http://www.playflv.com/]
Hi. I just got my M3 REAL. I tried sticking it into the DS right away, and I got some black screen that said something along the lines that the system software was missing. I found this thread via google and decided to try and set up the chip with the advice here. I formatted the memory chip using Disk Utility on mac, with a FAT32 filesystem, and downloaded and installed the system software you linked to. Now when I start it up i just get the regular Nintendo DS screen with "no DS card inserted". Can it be that the Disk Utillity formatting fucked up the chip? Any other Ideas on how I might get it working again?
Format the card again and re-install the system folder. Try blowing on the cartridge and into the DS SLOT-1 hole.
Thanks mr hanky, i tried what u said and i even downloaded and installed ffdshow and the gabest flash video splitter. All my real player videos were converted into windows media player videos(still a flash video though). i then opened up gpenc exe and dragged the videos on the window, a few seconds later it says that the audio stream could not be aquired and to try another method. can anyone help me with my video problem?
How do you actually copy a NDS Cartridge for use with M3. I've been trying to look-up the information but with little luck. Couldn't find anything on making a clean rom dump or anything related to backuping your cartridges.
hi can anyone help please i have just done my third m3 card but this time instead of playing the games i keep getting a blank white screen.. the card has all the games listed but wont let me play them i haven't had any problems with the previous cards i have done and cant work out what i have done wrong.. can any one help please.. beva
Backup, Format, replace everything (use a system folder you know works). If this doesn't work then it must be a faulty card, order a replacement.
hi. bin trying to sort this dfor a while and i really need help!. My games download as zip files when they shouldent and even if i extract them they dont work. i know its not the firmware as i have downloaded some games a while back that downloaded as nds files and they work perfectly. i just dont know were to go now. any help would be most appreciated
Depending where you downloaded from some places zip the files twice, so you need to extract the file,then extract that file to get to the .nds Also make sure you're using the latest firmware.
davos mr.hanky is right, if you get your files from NDash they zip the file and then they zip that with a bunch of readme's and assorted images. I realise now that this method isn't user freindly.
hi i just wondered if any one can advise me please i just did a m3 card and it was working fine until the kid playing it punched the ds screen... now he keeps getting a save file corrupt message and only two of the games work his mum is convinced ive ripped them off with dodgy good!! thanks again beverley
