    I am currently using a BT Voyager 2100 Wireless ADSL Router, I also have a Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Cable Router at my house, both of which work perfectly.

    One of my friends has the official Nintendo USB access point and can play his ROMs through it, and another has an unofficial one that does the same thing, his games also work fine.

    I'm using a different BT ADSL wireless router to MrHanky and have no problems either. I've also jumped onto an unsecured Netgear next door with no problem !

    ok i have an M3 but i only want it for, without going against forums rules, backups of my games.

    i hate moonshel thingy cos i dont want music or movies i just want to use backups (games) now is there a way that i can edit the M3 so that when i use it it skips the 3 icon main menu and just goes straight to the .NDS that looks roughly like this:

    [​IMG]

    i dont care about videos and music or pictures i just want this screen only...is it posible to make it happen! please!

    if not is there a way that you can make it so it only shows the first icon on the main menu not Game, Media, Slot 3 can you just have it showing Game then to Game list.

    you see i want it as neat as possible maybe a skin that just has one icon that leads me to that menu

    thank you very much

    Well, you could get the firmware's source code and rewrite it, otherwise you just have to push one button.

    Rewrite a buncha source code, or push one button...yep.

    If you don't fancy tackling the source code (I myself got lost at line 994...) then you could create a skin with only one icon ! the other two would still be there but wouldn't be visible. You can also re-assign the middle button (media) to any file you wish by renaming the app or backup you wish to launch with the moonshell filename.

    You still have to exert the energy on that one button press and wait the few milliseconds it takes to load the menu.

    I want a DS with slot 3, where do you get them ? mine only has 2 !(I jest)

    I assume this fixes the Zelda problem and adds DLDI autopatching like the R4 update.

    Unfortunetly I have completely busted my Simply so can't test it.

    I have a M3 DS Simply and I do have some roms working with wifi play on them, yugioh championship 2007 (which I actually own as well), marvel trading card game, both work on wifi, but most other roms don't work with wifi play? Any idea on what the disparity might be?

    For instance on Pokemon Diamond, when I got to connection settings in-game the connection tests works, but when I go to Battle, I get a red signal bar, also I haven't inputted any cheats into the game at any time, in case that has a bearing on it.

    Well, I believe I figured it out. Nintendo WFC and Multiplayer aren't the same thing apparently? Is Multiplayer usually only localized or reserved to friend codes? Also, some games even for WFC connectivity require registered friend codes?

    Multiplayer and wifi are different yeah.

    Multiplayer is when you can use only 1 DS cartridge to play against someone else who has a DS, upto 100 meters or so away.

    Meaning you don't both have to have the game cartridge to play.

    Wifi is when you connect to a hotspot such as your own PC router's internet connection, or a USB stick that you can place in your PC that creates a wireless connection.

    It's basically the internet, but for the DS, and you can play against people world-wide, and not the limit of 100 meters which multiplayer is.

    Early yesterday I ordered the M3 DS Simply, but since then I've read that the USB MicroSD card reader included with the product is of poor quality. Is the reader really that bad? I was planning on using it, but is it so risky that I should buy another one? I'm having some trouble trying to find a definitive answer on this, so I'd really appreciate an answer if anyone has one. I'm totally new to this stuff.

    I use the USB reader all the time with no problems. Worst thing that it has ever done is the casing of if fell apart when I dropped it on a hard floor, simply clipped it back together and continued using it.

    If you're having problems with the USB Reader overheating, then get a USB extension cable, and then plug the USB Reader into the extension, no more overheating! I.E. the extension cable that comes with the NFC Wi-Fi USB Connector or something similar.

    Cool, thanks guys. I appreciate it. I had read a couple of reviews that said the reader was bad, but it kind of sounded like the reviewers didn't even bother to try the device.

    Yeah, if you stick the USB MicroSD Reader directly into a powered USB port which is common on most laptops/desktops these days, it will overheat, and can very possibly melt your microsd card, but again using a usb extension cable will alleviate the problem, when I have used the extension (that came with my nintendo usb wi-fi) I had no over-heating but, I would not recommend leaving it in un-attended, because over a long period of time it may still over-heat.

    Other than that, If you buy Dane-Elec microsd, which is a common brand, I know they come with a SD card adaptor, it's a standard SD Card, that you can stick your Micro SD into, and most new computers/laptops will have built in SD Card readers.

    Always remember to be careful when inserting/ejecting your microsd card from any device.

    Also, make sure you get the latest moonshell/firmware build for M3 DS Simply, all you do is unzip the file and copy it straight to your microsd!

    I have used the metallic USB reader for hours on end (not just the one, but many) and have had no problems whatsoever. The blue plastic (with diamond shapes embellished on it) they shipped earlier on did get a bit warm now and then, but the metallic ones are fine by me.

    EDIT: was replying to MrHanky's earlier message, didn't see the more recent posts, but I should point out that I have ALWAYS used a USB extension cable with my reader - I'd have to bend down to reach the USB port if I didn't and I'm a firm believer that you're born into this world with an allotted amount of heartbeats, you shouldn't waste any!

    It is the blue one I use, never had any problems with it, I have left it connected to my computer overnight quite a few times with no heating up.
