hello everybody! im having a problem with my m3 ds simply when ever i turn my ds on it goes onto the loading screen then when it fineshes loading it goes black and dosent come on! please help! im getting worried and ive had to creat a backup my ds! type bak soon!
Format, reload the software on to the card and retry. This can often happen if the DS is switched off while trying to load a game or complete a save in a game, SD cards do not like being switched off while being read or writen to.
Back up the card on to your computer. Format the card using Panasonics SD Formatter (use google to find - its free), then put everything back on. This removes any crap or corruption off the card - solves most freezing issues
I have tried this on M3 DS Real, but when I turn my DS on I get the language option and then a black screen, with loading in the lower right corner. The DS then hangs. Has anybody got any suggestions of what else I can try? cheers, Matt
hi everyone. i know this has probably been asked a MILLION times before so.. here's for the million & first! a while ago, whenever i downloaded new roms, i would get the error message "the save data could not be accessed. please turn the power off & reinsert the ds card". for a while i kept restarting to no avail, & then i found out that i needed to update the firmware on my m3 card. i did that, & all of my games worked instantly, but over the past few days i recently downloaded a game called "coraline", and i'm starting to get the error message again. my firmware is all up to date & everything else works except this one game. i've tried downloading it from other sources but it still won't work. any ideas?
Not all will play after this, however most will if they are patched, go to the site hosting the firmware (in my sig.) and they have a tutorial on how to arm7 patch your games.
Big red letters in the top write up, it is actually in tutorials see http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/?mode=desc&fileid=1785
About half way down the page on this forum they go on to discuss Mac and the arm7 patch http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=94755&st=45&p=1426939&#entry1426939 Hope that helps
thanks kittymat, i already found that forum on google but since i'm a newbie mac user, i'm not too familiar with any of the files & folders i'm meant to be using..
Hi! I noticed a bug with M3 DS Simply: I tried to copy Pokemon Pearl to the root of the card, and rename it to _mshl.NDS so that I could start it from the root menu. I thought this could might help on the DS <-> Wii connectivity problem. This is what happened: The game started, but then said that I had to turn off the DS and remove and insert the card. I did. But then when I turned on the DS with my M3 DS Simply inserted, I got an "SD/TF" error. I checked with my computer, and all I got was "you need to format this card." So... I've rechecked this. If you do copy a game on your TF, then rename it to _mshl.nds to start it from the menu, your card looses it's partition table somehow... That's how I learned to backup my saves Lost FFIII, FFIV, Zelda Phantom, Animal Crossing, Mario +++ savegames...

tswb25 I had the same problem with a m3 simply card. I tried multiple SD cards, many different software downloads and to no avail I could not get it to kick over(move past the LOADING... page) After hours of messing with it I emailed the shop I bought it from and sent it back for exchange because it was obviously defective. I was sent back a working card. I would suggest trying different SD cards, but do not wait to long to go back to where you bought it and request an exchange because your m3 simply card may be defective. Good Luck I hope you get it to work without having to got through the headaches I had to.
can someone tell me if i can use the rumble pack for my nds?(not a lite or i, a nds)....i trimmed it(m3 rumble pack) down myself to fit in my slot-2 nds, but when i start the system up all i get is a half second rumble. if i go to the option to load from slot-2(was trying anything) it rumbles until i turn off the system. anyone have any ideas that would help? here is the exact m3/rumble pack i have. http://www.gamebygame.com/index.php?target=products&product_id=29789 thanks in advance for any help. peace. tha909
Your post was from a long time ago, so you have probably gave up or resolved your problem, but I was going to suggest in making sure the card is not HC. MicroSDHC still not work in M3 DS simply. I can comfirm from trying a 4gb SDHC card. On that note. Does any one know if there 4gb cards that are not SDHC. All the cards I could find 4gb and up are SDHC.
