It saves when you use the normal method of saving in that particular game (so it acts just like a normal game) you don't do anything special to save.
Hi I am new to this and wanted to ask a question does the M3 simply DS NOT WORK WITH a 4GB SDHC card? If it doesnt then at least i know everything else is fine! Thanks!!
@vickypind the m3ds simply does not work with a sdhc micro sd memory card . i recommend you buy a 2gig kingston micro sd memory card and it will work perfect ( its what my kids use ). also its a good idea to put the latest firmware on the memory card for your m3ds simply , current version is V1.09. woof811.
Many Thanks!! Bit Gutted now!! But suppose i should have looked before i bought!! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!
I've been using an R4 (without any problems), but I just purchased the M3 DS Real because it supports micro SD HC cards. After receiving the M3 Real, I quickly inserted my Sandisk 6GB SD card only to discover that the GUI was very slow and none of the games would launch. I did some testing, since I couldn't find anything online that described my problem. After I removed several games from my memory card in order to get the used space under 4GB, everything worked fine. I haven't gone back and added the games to make sure that the size is definitely the problem, but there appears to be a correlation. I may due some further testing, but as of right now, you might want to rethink purchasing an M3 Real if you thought you'd be able to load a SD MC card with more than 4 GB of games. Of course, it may just need a new firmware update.
Update: I just ran across a link talking about a limit of 128 games in 1 folder. That may be the issue that I'm having. I don't have access to my DS at this moment, but I'll count the number of games and see if that's the problem. If it is, then I'll have to see if there's a way of getting around it. I know that the games on the R4 can be placed in different folders, but I didn't notice that as an option on the M3 Real. Again, I'll post any further updates as I receive them.
Testing Complete: The problem is definitely caused by having more than 128 games in the NDS folder. I haven't found any documentation stating that the games can be placed in a different folder, so hopefully there will be an update that will allow for more than 128 games in a single folder. (I know, do I really need more than 128 games? Probably not, but I have 6 GB, so why not use it all.)
i just got hold of a new m3 card reader , followed the instructions , went to the link , downloaded the info , formatted and put info on my micro card , but still no good when i put m3 in my ds the words , no system file found . what does this mean
silk42: Your in the wrong thread, the M3 Real thread is here. That thread also mentions the 128 games problem and the way around it: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/585265/3602563 . metro: What M3 are you using? the Simply or Real?
im usin the real , its really pissin me off now , i put the m,card from my r4 into the m3 still no good , the ds is fine with the r4 in it , 2 kids , 2 ds 1 r4 1 m3 that dont work
Your also in the wrong thread then, the M3 Real thread is here. The M3 Real uses a different firmware to the M3 Simply and R4 which is why it isn't working, a link to the download site is in the M3 Real guide.
i did all that , went to the site , downloaded the info , formatted my m,card then added the info to the m,card and 1 game , still no good
my friend your a genious thanx a million , you have saved my ass thanx again , merry christmas , live long and prosper
Mr_Hanky - Sorry about posting in the wrong thread. This is my first time posting on this site, so I had to create an account. After validating from the link sent to my e-mail address, I obviously posted my comment to the wrong thread.
