    HI. Nice to see a guide being put together. I have been trying to get mario kart for the snes playing via my m3 simply. However i dont think mario kart actualy works on any emulator for the DS. I can get to the title screen and character select and thats it.
    Basicly might point is you should start adding guides for using emulators on the M3 Simply.
    I would help but i get little time to post on forums due to the nature of my work.
    Good luck compiling this guide.

    Main problem with me writing a guide to using emulators is that I don't use them :(

    I have a few PSP's which are much better at emulation than the DS, maybe when I have some spare time I can look into it but that could be quite a while.

    Although I never mention Moonshell this step does copy Moonshell to the MicroSD card.

    Not yet but the M3 team have said they will be including a soft reset out of Moonshell soon.

    So R4 DS and the M3 DS are the same exact thing (same factory made) except for the firmware and softwares it uses?? So theres no difference between a R4 and M3 besides some compibabiblity of the firmwares they use. Also I have heard a little about GBA Emulator for DS slot 1 devices... was wondering where can i find more info about that?

    I just got a new batch R4 and it DOES still come with the replacement shell. Just for FYI. Not that an extra shell should really be a huge selling point...

    Wondering if multicart gameplay works with this card? How about m3 simply with other m3 simply carts? or m3 simply with original game carts? or online play (ie wfc)

    As long as you don't trim the ROMs the games multiplayer is uneffected.

    Trim the ROM and you cannot send the game to another DS for single cart multiplayer unless it has FlashMe installed.

    I just recieved two M3 Simply's. Ordered approx 3 days apart. One came with the plastic snap open packaging and TWO shells. The other came in a small (thin and unprotective) cardboard box with ONE shell. They're obviously cutting packaging costs as well as the extra shell. The product is still encased inside a plastic sheath though. So, basically... Mr Hanky is 100% correct, and I fully recommend the M3 Simply, its a simple, kick ass product. Only glitch I found is that even though there is an option to not create a save file for the game u select, you cannot access the game unless u do accept to create a save file (which makes sense). Keep it real ppls.

    So what is the cheapest you guys have seen the simply for?
    Im seeing $50 for it, + 20 for a card, +15 for shipping.

    That IS all I need right?

    UPDATE:
    I'm hearing rumors that the hardware design of the M3 DS Simply has been revised to remove the solder point which would allow you to switch between using the device as an R4 or M3.

    Unfortunetly the only M3's I have at my disposal are the old version.

    Could any confirm if this is true?

    Spot on cobba. Thats all you need. I recommend Divineo for the M3 Simply and ebay for the micro sd. It seems to be a little cheaper to buy 1 gig cards in multiples than a 2 gig card also... i prefer multiples so i can throw music on one...backups on another etc.

    Mr Hanky, I dunno how to check that out... not that hardware minded... can you tell me what the differences are when u convert to r4? still a little new to all this...

    All the best ppls.

    The only difference once converted to the R4 is that it will run the R4 firmware, not the M3. At this pint in time there is no advantage to this as both firmwares are identical in what they do, but it may come of sme use in the future if say 1 firmware can play the latest game but the other has not yet been updated to do so.

    The new hardware design has supposedly removed this point from the circuit board.

    hello i just had afew q's i dont have the m3 simply yet. i thought i read somewhere that you could play ds, gba, gbc, gb, snes, and nes roms with the simply slot 1 card. I was looking at a board and it talked about that you could only play ds roms. can you only play ds roms?

    #2 what is a "flashed DS"

    #3 can you have the ds with a ds rom go to sleep mode (with out losing any information)

    thank you (^..^)^****
