    I dunno if this was already asked and or is obvious,

    but does the m3 work with the ds original?

    and can you get a good web browser with flash and/or java support?

    Yes the M3 does work with the original DS.

    I've read that the Nintendo DS Browser US version is meant to support flash and/or java, however I'm not sure if it's been released/dumped yet for this to be confirmed.

    It's the cheapest place I currently know of, but the free shipping can be very slow, i've had things take upto 3 weeks to arrive from them. (I have had one thing take only a week from them before)

    You might want to check their R4DS + Kingston MicroSD deal too, the R4 is identical to the M3DSS.

    UPDATE:
    Just checked that link, and they actaully have a link on that page to the R4+Kingston deal I was refering to :p

    Yes it is exactly the same, the only 'difference' is the firmware, you use R4 firmware on the R4 and M3 firmware on the M3. Even then the firmwares look and function exactly the same, plus you get the added benefit of the R4 updates being 1-3 days ahead of the M3.

    Hey guys,

    Can someone tell me alternate software to convert avi, mpeg etc, to a format that will play on the DS.

    I have found BatchTPG and Max DS Video Converter so far but both didn't work.

    Batch has an error when I try and convert, and Max DS converts successfully but the output it generates didn't play in Moonshell or DSOrganise.

    Many thanks.

    Would this guide also apply to the R4, since I guess they are almost identical? Also does this guide come in pdf download format?

    Thanks,

    This guide applies to the R4 with the exception of the download link, last time I checked that website does not host the R4 files.

    There is no PDF format, this is the only place online with the full guide.

    I have a Nintendo WiFi USB Connector. I can play original games on my NDSL with online wifi but when I try to play the same rom image of a game I own a physical copy of, it shows a good connection test but, won't connect when I try to play online.

    Here's my settings and what I did:

    Uninstalled NWFC Software/Drivers
    Installed ASUS drivers following Waffle's guide with version 2371

    Setup the Asus Control Center, selecting the option to 'Only use our WLAN utilities and disable Windows wireless function'

    Selected ICS to share my lan with the Wireless Connection

    Setup the Asus Wlan Card:

    SSID: courage (not hidden)
    Encryption: Shared, WEP, w/ Hexadecimal key (64 bits/10 digits)
    Channel 1

    SoftAp: SoftAp Mode, ICS Enabled
    54G Mode: 802.11b Only

    Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:

    Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected

    Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

    Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
    IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.15.2
    Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.15.1

    Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection 3:

    Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
    IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.18.1
    Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :


    My DS:

    manual setup
    wep key: entered 10 digit wep key
    ip address: 192.168.18.2
    subnet: 255.255.255.0
    gateway: 192.168.18.1
    primary dns: 192.168.18.1

    test connection: successful: signal bar full green

    Test connecting to Physical Commercial DS Game:
    Successful: signal bar shows full green

    with M3 Simply DS
    and NDS Rom File of same game used above:

    test connection: successful (through in-game options) signal bar full green

    In game wifi play: Signal bar now shows red, can't connect


    I have tried several other game/rom combinations and the online wifi play won't work on the M3. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    Well, any nds rom, I can get the connection tests working fine, and for instance I have yugioh 2007 the actual game, and that plays fine online, but when I try to play the rom of it on the m3, it wont connect, it shows a red signal bar.

    Every other rom does the same thing, connection tests still work, but when i go to online play options it gets a red signal bar and won't connect.

    And again, I've tried the actual phsyical game side by side the rom, the actual game connects no problem, the rom doesn't.

    Well i've never had this issue with any of my games getting online so can't think why you are having problems.

    I can only guess at possible fixes:
    - Make sure the ROMs are not trimmed
    - Turn soft-reset off
    - Use a different MicroSD
    - Leave some extra space on the MicroSD (about 5MB)

    I've heard rom trimming might cause problems but, how can I tell if the rom has been trimmed? Is there a checksum or somewhere, or do I need to specifically look for trimmed roms?

    I don't think I can straight dump a game from the dsl either with just a m3 ds simply.

    Well if you havn't trimmed the game yourself it is very unlikly that it has been.

    Games on http://ds.rom-news.org/ aer not trimmed so you can download from that site to test.

    No, the roms are the original clean roms I checked. And someone called DS69 mentioned the same problem on page 4, and I've seen several other mentions of this problem but, no answers.

    Are you using a Nintendo WFC USB adaptor or a wireless router or what MrHanky?
