I haven't tried playing any of those games, so I can't confirm if I have the same problem. However, assuming that you have a working ROM, then you may need to wait for a firmware update. As of this post, the latest firmware is 3.9. Below are the issues that have been resolved with this update. As you'll see, none of the games you listed are included. M3 / G6 DS Real v3.9 x29 (17th-07-2008): Improvement projects: 1. Solve the "2385 - the ensemble! Orchestra Brothers DX (Japan)" can not use 8 M archived issues, is now available in 8 M archive normal game; 2. Solve the "2436 - Rick and John disappearance of the two paintings (Japan)" due to problems in the initial filing into the game screen shortly after the Dead; 3. Solve the "2439 - Miranda (French)" can not be normal soft reset the problem, can now use the soft reset normal game; 4. Solve the "2452 - simple DS Series Vol.41 THE bomb disposal team (Japan)," the use of soft reset the game using a microphone Dead problems, can now use the soft reset normal game; 5. Solve the "2469 - my male infant baby (EU)" can not use the soft reset the problem, can now use the soft reset normal game; 6. Solve the "2470 - my female infant baby (EU)" can not use the soft reset the problem, can now use the soft reset normal game; 7. Solve the "2472 - Dragon Quest 5 sky as the bride (Japan)," the game can not be normal progress of the plot problems, can now be normal game; 8. Amended in the first connected to an uninitialized GBA expansion card, GBA game can not be normal filing; 9. Show that the Chinese name automatically control support to 2474, the DS game ROM. Note: The deadline for the release date, all NDS games can be normal operation, can not use the soft reset the game for 24.
I have the same problem as this guy, tried what you said, and nothing. Anyone have any idea what might work?
I think that the man or woman solved her or his problem by downloading new firmware. The frimware he/she had was wrong so I suggest you go download a new firmware too. It is awfully confusing at first but that is what we are here for. Try Sakura from linfox domain as it is great.
i have a few questions about the DS Real that i'd like to have answered for clarification before i make a decision to upgrade from my simply 1)does the gba pack have a proper real time clock? 2)does it really directly support nes/gb/gbc roms, or is this with 3rd party emulators? 3)if it does directly support them, how is saving managed? i've read that you have to go and move files around or some such thing afterward to avoid overwriting a save from one game with one from another. is this true etc? and finally, is the gba expansion cart held closed with a tri-wing screw? (im interested in swapping the casing with the dust cover deal that came with the DS for color matching purposes anyone else tried this?)
1)Not sure (it is of no importance to me) tell me hoe to test for it and I will. 2)It does directly load them from it's menu, I believe it is using 3rd party emulators but all behind the scenes. 3)Can't say I've used it enough to know, haven't noticed any problems regarding saves myself, but it might be worth looking for more info on. As for the screw, mine has not got one (just vanished at some stage) ¬_¬ however my M3 rumble pak has a standard Phillips (+) screw. I'm not sure how easy it would be to transfer the insides from one to the other though, you might need to dremel the dust cover to make the circuit fit. (I would check but I misplaced my dust cover long ago, always have a useful slot-2 card in there now)
iirc some of the older pokemon games used it to determine day/night. gold/silver i believe. its been a long while since i played them, and this isn't really all that important to me. just wanting to know in case other games use it also and it turns out to be of some importance later on. the more working features the better as for the saving question, if you get a chance to just add- say 2 game boy games and save in each of them, and see if your save still works for the first one after the fact. that would be perfect for me. i just don't want to have to worry about accidentally overwriting one game's save with another one, or having to remember to do some task after i save in the game so that it keeps the save for next time etc. i really appreciate your help with this btw. finding the finer details about some of this stuff would be nearly imposable without guides like this. so thanks
So...The purple firmware is good for an M3 Real? Should work, right? I'm expecting mine to be in my mailbox tomorrow...so just a last second check...
Hi, I did something very stupid. I bought the M3 with the rumble pack, but I have a regular DS. I opened the rumble pack and put it in the DS. After I put the M3 in, and start it up, it goes to the start up menu. It says "There is a DS option pak inserted", but nothing for the DS card. I have the loader in the miniSD card as well. Did they make it so that it will only work with lites?
I now know that you only need the M3 cart to play DS games, but even when I just put it in it doesn't work. I downloaded the SYSTEM folder and everything else, but when I turn on my DS it goes to the DS start menu.
We have only just acquire the DS Real and the kids are very pelased with it. They would like to some games which only seem to be *.RAR files and not *.NDS Could someone explain what we have to do differently to be able to use the files or can we not use the files?
for once a question i can answer .ra files are zipped files like winzip, but you need to download a prog called winrar to unzip them you will end up with a .nds file to use as normal cheers Adamski64
Hi I have been trying to follow your guide for the last 2 hours, thought I had it sussed but, no, what am I doing wrong???? downloaded system stuff and transferred it onto card. I opened a file and called it NDS next to my system folder/ and also in the system folder, but neither seems to work. You mention putting this folder in the root of the card what and wheres the root???? I am really not very good with stuff like this, but was recommended I buy a M3 DS real and now my kids keep pestering me to do something with it. Thanks Julie
right for the m3ds real all you need to do is first get the latest system folder from here - System V3.9a X (Europe/USA) - http://www.handheldsources.com/M3DS/Download_M3DSR.html once downloaded unrar it and copy the SYSTEM folder to your memory card . next create a folder on your memory card and name it NDS . you can now put any unrared .nds roms in the NDS folder and thats it job done . you should now be able to go to the menu of the m3ds real and play your games . woof811. ps. i wasnt shouting when i used the caps lock its just the way the folders must be named on your memory card in capitals , any probs let me know .
OR you could all look at that woof's signature and go Download M3Sakura which solves a lot of problems.
link for m3ds real sakura ( english ) from gbatemp - http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=2553 simply copy the SYSTEM folder to your memory card and enjoy m3sakura courtesy of gbatemp ) its a lot faster than the standard m3ds real firmware ! woof811.
How many games can one put on a 2gb micro SD with M3 real? The reason I'm asking is because I have about 8 games on the card but only 7 shows up, in the M3 Real game manager. Also when I check the size of the NDS in windows It's smaller than the size of the game on the M3 Real game manager.
I have problems with the last system verison (3.9a) I did the normal process, copy the system to the micro SD. But, when I try to use, the menu is in blank, I can't use it. someone know how to fix it?
