Would anyone happen to know of a good program that I can use on my Macbook to transfer and manage the roms that I currently have on my M3 DS Simply? Our main computer crashed and I'm currently trying to use my Mac to allow me to move files, etc...but it keeps saying that the disk is full, even though I know this is not the case. Any suggestions as to how I can get my Roms and my card working again (from updating on the mac)?
please can someone help me, i bought a m3 simply and didnt get the installation cd with it but have downloaded the updates and have installed the ds_menu and ds_mshl files into the memory card but whenever i load it up in my ds it comes up with a message in chinese (even though it says loading in english) i dont know what it says or how to fix it 9i think its n error cos its got an ! after the message) please can someone help me, why cant i play games? p.s i get the message with or without games on my memory card
Sounds like you have a Chinese M3, you going to have to find the Chinese firmware files to use the device. You can patch the English firmware to work, but only up to about v1.05 i think, any higher and games don't load. And to play the latest games you need the latest firmware, so using the Chinese firmware is really your only option.
Unfortunetly I am not a Mac user so I am not sure what you could do for the card not working, maybe backup the enitre contents, format the card then drag everything back on? As for rom management, maybe another Mac user knows a good program?
I have a question, what exactly is diferrent between the M3 and the R4 ? What can the R4 do that the M3 can't and vice-versa ? To do the change between them I just need to put the wished firmware ?
The M3 and R4 are the same, the R4 team manufactuer the device, and the M3 team (who have been around alot longer) buy and rebrand the device, becuase of this the M3 firmware update are usually 2-3 days after the R4 updates as the M3 team need to rebrand the firmware and make it compatible with the M3. To use the firmware frmo one on another you have two options: 1. Hardware. This only applie to the very early models of the M3 and R4, these had a solder bridge on them where you could remove the solder to go from the M3 to an R4, or add solder to go from R4 to M3. This method is the best method as it work on all the firmwares, but you have to own an early M3/R4 as the board got revised to remove this point. 2. Software. It is possible to patch some the firmware to work on the other device, however this only works upto about M3v1.05/R4v1.10. Newer firmwares load, but cannot launch games.
Yes, it justs case of if a new game does not work you usually have to wait a couple of days longer for the M3 update. Both devices have the same compatibility.
Hi Mr. Hanky Do you know if the new M3 Simply updates actually fix the sleep mode? i.e., does the sleep mode now actually conserve power like the DS would normally do, or does it continue to drain the power? I searched the threads but I couldnt find confirmation - hopefully I'm not just blind or something thanks!!
Hi, I have 3 M3 simply's up and running, but can I transfer game saves from an original DS cart to the save file on a back up game? ie how can I read and copy the .sav file off an original DS cart. Thanks Trevor
Do not buy the M3 DS Simply. It's a piece of sh!t. The slot for the mirco SD card breaks after about a week of use. I bought one, it broke, send it back for a new one, that new one broke shortly after receiving it... extremely frustrating!!
I've had/sold/passed on around 60 m3 simplys now and this has only happened once! Not wanting to teach granny to suck eggs or anything, but you do know it's "push in to release", the same as the DS cart itself ?
mine has busted too. just had to use some duct tape, and it only broke because i tryed putting the SD card in the M3, backwards and in the dark. dont do this trav
the r4ds ( which is the same as the m3 simply ) has had a new design and got rid of the spring for the micro sd memory slot it is now just a push in slot . as they are the same flash cart im expecting the m3 simply to get a design change very shortly . link to show you new design - http://www.r4ds.cn/new_shell.html p.s. i have now had 2 r4ds delivered with the design and can confirm no more spring on the micro sd slot. woof811.
i have a question i was hoping someone on here could help we with. i just got m3 simply (works awesome), but i used to use the g6 lite with a passcard (hated it). but when i used that i got sick of needing the passcard so i did the whole flashme thing to make it auto boot from the g6 cartridge w/o the passcard. neway, since m3 simply cant play gba games i wanted to use my old g6 lite for my gba needs. problem is that when they are both in the ds it autoboots to the g6 lite instead of the m3. anyone know of a way to fix this. i realize this is a rough explanation, so if i need to clarify anything just say so.
