You might be able to backup your saves using REIN (google it) however I am not sure if it works with the Simply. You can also convert saves using the M3DSS Save Transformer (available on the M3 website) though I am not sure if it is compatible with Action Replay saves.
im havin a look now.. also, do you hav a link to the m3 simply version of moonshell 1.71? oh, and the link on the first page, how do i download the files? Ok. ignore everything, i got it. all i need to know, does the moonshell's .nds root file need to be called _DS_MSHL.NDS? i installed 1.71, and deleted all the .NDS's that were not for ds simply. does it have to be named that for the main menu to recognise it? thanks!
Hi, yes it needs to be named that for you to be able to load it with the "Media" icon in the main menu. You can load ti via the "Game" menu under any name.
cheapest place i have seen the m3 with a 1gb micro sd card is on ebay. I have seen it for around 43gbp delivered which is cheap.
Nice to know I'm still competitive at 40 GBP PLUS delivery. Except I take the effort to install the latest menu firmware, themes and moonshell, which means I work more to earn less. ho hum. but my customers are happy.
I have been using my DS Simply for over 2 months now and have even converted a few family and friends over to it. We all think it's a really cool thing to have. My questions though (if anyone can tell me outright that is) what would I need to get in order to read some of my actual games and have my own back-up roms? Also I would like to know what I could use to make my actual games saves available. Is it a matter of finding the save on the game and just calling a .sav file?
To backup your own games you need a slot-2 device, you can backup your own games using a program called "dumper.nds" and a M3CF (recommended) and after some effort any other M3 (SD/MiniSD/Lite) I have been told you can also backup games using the nitro firmware and any CF based slot-2 device (M3CF/Supercard CF/GBAMPv2 CF) Saves can be copied from your cards using REIN.
Once again Mr_Hankey, you have done it again!! Your tutorials have always been on the money and you are right to the point on all things DS Simply that it's amazingly scarey. I commend you and look forward to learning more from you and this site.
Another question. does m3dss have a multiple theme thing by pressing select? also, how do i select my cheats (i allready made the file and its in the right place)? oh, and This May be of interest
Yes, though my guess is you read something like that somewhere already "by pressing select" kinda makes it a rather precise question In the _system_ folder create another called themes, in that create folders called theme01, theme02, etc. You can then stick the standard theme files in these. If you have created the file correctly you can slect the cheats by Pressing 'Y' when the game is highlighted (also it shows a box on the touch screen which Says "Cheats 'Y'" or somthing similar
Perfect Thanks :0 yeah i had lol. im gettin it tomorrow (£24.99 ) i allready have a blank sd, and i decided to set up the files beforehand so i could dive straight in. anyway, i have high hopes for savsender
http://www.consoleup.com/shop/Console/M3-DS-Simply/M3-DS-Simply-No-Memory/ and one last question, do i have to DLDI encode all of my roms and apps for use on the card? thanks for all your help
ROMs do not need to be DLDI patched, but any homebrew app/game that accesses the MicroSD for reading additional files or saving requires DLDI. I have just tried savesender but it obviously dosn't like my network. Looks like it would be a good app for those who need it though. I'll stick to using my M3CF for backup of saves.
Great Thanks! Ive set up all my network and firewall settins, and tried it with my other comp (sendin a file usin the pc setup) and it worked. so, it should be ok *fingers crossed*
yo, i ordered a ds simply a few days ago but was wondering, if i had pokemon pearl in english and pokemon pearl in japanese, would i be able to make a saved file on one and play it on the other? thanks in advance
Very unlikly, there is a pokemon save editor so you could see if it has the feature to convert the save.
Hmm.. the normal ds save- is it instantly compatible with m3 simply, or do you have 2 save-convert it?
You will probably need to convert it, but it could depend on what you used to backup the save, you can get the M3DSS save tool from the M3 website.
