***M3 DS Simply Guide***

I see you have edited your post from

so I guess you have already realised the mistake

The latest firmware is now actually v1.10 I cannot remember the change log for each new release but I believe they are mainly bug fixes for various games with v1.10 to fix Final Fantasy.

The download site I link to is obviously not being updated any more, so I will change it to the M3 website (which unfortunately is usually very slow for downloading)

 

The M3 Simply cannot connect to the Wii version of Pokemon at the moment, I doubt it is a hardware problem and it could possibly be fixed in a future update however it is unclear why it is taking so long to be done.

The M3 DS Simply does not and will not support SDHC, if this is an important feature I would recommend buying a new cart that does support SDHC (such as the M3 DS Real or DS TopToy)

 

After copying all the files that i needed, when i put in the cartridge it just stays black and the top screen says 'Loading...'

I'm very new to this, please help!

 

i have done all you suggested to start off with but all i am seeing is LOADING.......... on the screen, i have a m3 simply and a 4gb Micro SD card.

Any ideas?

 

I had a little look through the forum, and apparently it wont work if you have a sandisk card - i got the 4gb sandisk one and i had the same problem as you, have now ordered a 2gb Kingston card which, hopefully, will work as someone said elsewhere.

 

I have the R4 ds card thing (you put the microSD in it) for slot one and 2 2gb microSD cards one Kingston and one SanDisc, i have put M3 Simple on both and put it into the R4 ds card thing and when it loads it says

"The hardware is not compatible"

im using the M3 full installation package 28/6/2007

Help?

P.S. Yes i erased everything on the cards

 

try asking in the r4 thread.

m3 software on r4 is more hassell than it's worth.

 

I need some help,

A) For Hardware I have a 1) DS Light, 2) M3 DS Simply, 3) Kingston 4 GB Micro SDHC card.

B) For Software I have down loaded and extracted the "System_v1.10-English" on my computer.

C) I have copied the two folders "_system_" and "moonshl" and the two files "_DS_MENU" AND "_DS_MSHL.NDS" onto the micro card.

D) I have added one program onto the card under a game folder.

E) When I turn on the DS with the cards in the slot, I get the first white Nintendo DS screens on the top and bottom for about 2.5 - 3.0 sec. Then the bottom screen goes black and the top screen goes black with the words says "Loading..." for ever.

Question: I am trying to get the main menu to boot up but nothing happens, what am I doing wrong?

 

Oh yea, I also formated the Micro card with FAT32 and default allocation size before putting any files on the card.

 

It does not like 4GBHC cards i found this out from another forum site. Max you can use is 2GB NON HC

Is there a work around for 4 GB HC Micro Cards?

 

I was trying to get Firmware 1.10 from handheldsources but their site is down. I was able to locate it elsewhere. If anyone else is looking for it I've uploaded it to rapidshare at this link. http://rapidshare.com/files/82100308/System_v1.10-English.zip.html

 

Thanks, I did have a much more reliable (and faster) site than the M3 site but they stopped updating the site with the latest firmwares so I had to switch back to the M3 site.

 

Hi I'm New here and have a m3 ds simply iv'e had it about a year and have had no problems at all but i just downloaded the new version 1.10 and the original menu works fine but when i click on game the top screen goes white and the bottom screen goes black or vice versa if you could help that would be great thanks

 

Zak2008, Backup your game files, saved games, etc. and reformat your Micro SD card. Make sure you format it in FAT 16 (FAT). Copy over the M3 1.10 firmware files to the root of the card and copy your games and saved game data back over.

1.10 is working fine for me, so there must have been something that got screwed up on you SD card.

 

Thanks alot I probably won't post again for a long but until then THATS ALL FOLKS!!

 

I thought the same thing when I came to AD looking for the MID codes for a few 900Mb CD-Rs I had, then 500 posts later here I am. In other words, you're welcome and we'll see you soon. ;P

 

Where do I get backed up Nintendo DS games from? Do I have to download them or something?

 

Hi - hope someone can help me............

I got an M3 Simply for Xmas, and just can't get it to work on my (new as well !) DS Lite.
I have formatted (FAT16) the 1G flash, downloaded and xferred the 2 folders and 2 files from V1.10 as shown in the guide.
Made a game folder in the root and added some .NDS game files

When I turn on the DS, it shows the "M3 DS simply" in the top screen, and the bottom one has the 3 icons for game/multimedia/and "Boot Slot-2"

I press the game icon, get the directory, That then shows the games.

I press for one of the games - it shows ..........loading..........

The both screens just go blamk it won't do anything ??

I have tried a different card, reloading all the firmware, different games - but nothing seems to work.

I would REALLY appreciate any help or ideas about what to do as I really want to play my games on my new DS

thanks a bunch for any help !!!!
