Hey, great guide!! One thing (actually 2): 1. I dont have my M3 simply yet, so cant just try this out (getting it in 2 working days!!)! I have downloaded the 1.04 firmware. I have now got a folder called : M3_DS_Simply_System_v1.04_English containing 2 folders an NDS file and a DAT file. Do I need to copy all 4 objects to the Micro SD card?? That is what I assumed! 2. How the hell do you skin the simply? I've seen guides on other sites, but they are about as clear as mud, and are worded like a 10 year old wrote them! Is there a simple way to skin it or is it a complex procedure? Thanks for any help!
Yes, just drag the 4 objects over to your MicroSD card. In the _system_ folder are where the themes are kept, if you look at these you will see they are just .bmp files, so replace these with files of the same size, name and filetype.
Great guide! now i can use homebrew on my simply! MAKE SURE TO GET DLDI!!!!!!! http://chishm.drunkencoders.com/DLDI/index.html just a few questions mr hanky 1. is it theoretically possible to use the m3 simply to dump nds roms? (i know at this point its not, just wondering for the future) 2. is there any other way (currently) to get homebrew apps to run on the simply other than using the media icon? 3. is there a way to setup to be able to use DSO and Okiwi on the same card without having to change files around?
1. Yes, BUT it would require you to keep removing and inserting the M3 and game your dumping, not so bad for smaller games but will be a problem for larger games (128MB game, only 4MB of RAM) sop chances are no one will develop such a application. Another method might be to use wireless an dump it to a computer, but again chances of someone programming a dumper like this is slim. 2. Yes, using the media icon is optional, just run any homebrew from the Game menu (as if it was a game) 3. Probably yes, but I have never used Okiwi.
I have a problem with loading a saved game. I have the Pokemon Pearl save file in my battery folder with my no$gba, and I want to transfer what I accomplished so far into my micro sd card. And when I tried to transfer the transformed file to my micro sd card, the game does not load the saved game, it starts a new game. I selected the save game, transformed it into a m3dss file, the ds recognizes it but does not load the game that I have in the save file.
great guide helped alot since i am new at this stuff and have no idea what im doing!! i have a few questions though i downloaded the firmware and i got a folders named m3_ds_Simply_v1.04_english in this there are 2 folders one tat says moonshel and system then there is 3 files ds menu and ds mshl and repacked by kiwdix do i copy all of them to the sd card thx alot
i've been playing wtd on my simply and my brother now wants one, i searched through google products beta and saw the two cheapest were sky2k.com (i've ordered from them before and am unsatisfied) and echostore.com is echostore.com a decent place to buy from?
I have never heard of or used them, but a look at the website makes me think it is a simple maybe home-run business, they do use https for payment which is better than some websites i've seen. Maybe wait and see if someone here has used them.
now that i've thought about it i still have my m3 perfect laying around but i've misplaced my passcard (for bootup) is it possible to us the simply to boot my perfect and use that combo for dumper.nds ?
Hello Sickley, This I cant really answer your question since I have never dealt with the websites you mentioned but I have recently ordered a R4 DS from Bamboo Gaming It was ordered two weeks ago so it is should arrive shortly. They are currently at a discounted price (I got it delivered for only $39.00 AUD which is about $32 USD.) If you would prefer to get a M3 DS (although essentially identical to the R4), they are also available for about $32 US. I will keep you posted when my R4 arrives. Links: R4 DS M3 DS Simply UPDATE: looking back over the last couple of pages in this thread I noticed that woodrew has already mentioned bamboogaming.com, sorry about the duplicate information. -Ubergamer
well if your shipment is fast and satisfactory i may go through them i also checked out a site called dealextreme.com r4ds is about 32 and shipping is free, seems to be a good site with alot of buyers and reviews
Now dealextreme is a website I can recommend, I use them on a regular basis (however never have done for the M3 or R4) The default shipping is quite slow, but the prices are very good.
hey guys, I just got my m3 yesterday and after messing around for a while, I can't seem to find a "shell" folder anywhere on my install disc. I'd appreciate it a lot if somebody could upload it, send me a link, or email it to me at pichupchu (at) hotmail (dot) com.
Yeah, there are tons of them. Amazon, Target, Walmart, Gamestop and so on. I hope you're not requesting pirated games.
I love M3 DS simply... It can play homebrew games such as clone IPOD for MP3, Moonshell(Mp3/PDG-movies), Ds orginzer and NES, SnesDS games. Of cource retail DS games or back up your own copy of may roms plays well. But I have issue swith the SNESDS emulator that it does not play Doom.smc rom. Does anyone please help me with this issues? Doom.smc rom just gives me white screen. I can play many other *.smc roms but not doom.smc! ANy idea? Or can someone show me how to do?
