    Hey, I recently got a M3Lite, Passcard 3 and 1Gb SanDisk microSD card, and I'm having problems getting games/homebrew/video/mp3 working.

    I've got Game Manager 27A and firmware 27a (I think I've got that firmware, a link to it would be helpful so I can check). My microSD card is formatted in FAT16 w/ 64k cluster size.

    The problem is, when I put games on, with the settings from m3wiki.com, I get the 'PSRAM fail' error, or when I put games/hombrew/etc on, if I run a game, it'll work, then when I run a homebrew app, that'll work, but then I can't play a game, it either stops loading (the red bar gets to 100% and stops, or 'PSRAM fail').

    Does anyone know how I can fix this? And does it make a difference which buttons (Start/A) I press to navigate through the menus/load games?

    Thank you in advance for any help, I've spent quite a lot of time over the weekend looking around the internet trying to find solutions to my problems, and I've tried various methods to try and get games/homebrew working.

    there is definitely a difference when using start vs A. I find that for homebrew stuff, START is the best way to launch it. For games, I use A. Which games are you trying to run?

    it seems like the thing that worked is to loosen the screw on the backside and retighten but only to the point where its barely tight. it won't come loose, but you're not forcing it down either.. providing enough space for everything on the inside

    thanks, I thought about that last night (the untighten/retighten the screw), I did that and it worked fine!

    Mario Hoops 3-on-3 froze today but I think that was because I used the wrong settings in the game manager to copy it across (I've seen two different settings, the one on m3wiki.com and one someone posted on a forum that worked for him). The other games were loading fine though. :)

    thanks again for all the help! :)

    i'd suggest using the m3wiki one.. i haven't had a problem at all using the settings i've found on there :)
