    This has been mentioned before in the forums, it is a DS slot device, 4Gb should be enough for about 6-12 games depending on game size, it apparently is very good with homebrew support, which in my eyes is very good. i don't think I will be getting one anytime soon as I still play the odd GBA game every now and then.

    Both the M3 the guide is for, and the the above mentioned DS-X can play DS games.

    Rather this wasn't posted in this thread as thats a supercard and this an M3 thread, but yes, that is all you need, you might have to update the supercards softwrae before it works with NDS files though.

    Ya, try replying to pakixds guide (see my sig)

    Anyhows, I have other things going on at the moment so I probably won't be updating this guide or posting anything on the forums for 2-3 weeks now, just to let everyone know.

    Try changing the guide's title from

    ***Guide to using homebrew and ROMs on the Nintendo DS and Lite with an M3***

    to

    ***M3 USERS: Guide to using homebrew and ROMs on the Nintendo DS and Lite***

    I guess people are just blind and can't see the "with an M3" at the end of it

    Gone with pakixds suggestion and altered the thread title.

    Still need to get round to updating the guide though :p

    Been busy with university work and *cough*PSP*cough* in any spare time.

    With the M3 + Passcard I heard that you do not need to flash your ds, will just have to keep the passcard in. In start of the guide is he just flashing the M3 card or the DS? If its the DS then how would you use it without flashing the DS? Thanks in advance

    if you have the passcard it is correct that you dont need to flash your DS.
