i need someoen ot explain to me what they do. Im trying to understand, and i think that the passcard loads my nds roms, but what purpose does the m3 serve. If i just want to load nds roms why can't i just buy the passcard, stick in an sd card with nds roms on it and play it like that. also if someone has a picture guide explaining the steps of the whole booting process that would be great. also is there a cheaper way hat 99 dollars
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/392954 you need a passcard 3, an m3, and your minisd card. read up on that thread and post again if you need any other questions answered. also, read mr_hanky's sticky http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/364264
Note before I start, i'm using a Passkey2 instead of a Passcard3, but for this they do the same thing. This is what your need: DS/ DS Lite Passcard3 M3 Storage Card You put the ROMs on the storage card, the storage card then goes into the M3. If you put the M3 into the DS [bold]without[/bold] a Passcard, it only lets you use the GBA features of the M3. Now with the Passcard3 inserted when you turn on the DS with the M3 in it will automagically load the M3 in DS mode. (remember i'm using the old Passkey2 which sticks out) And this is what happens if you do what you say. (just use the Passcard3) Two white screens. Hope this clears some things up for you.
I found this review of the G6 Lite very helpful. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=34239 It does the same as the M3 except you dont need the SD card. It has loads of pictures too. You cant load anything onto the passcard - It just fools the DS into thinking theres a DS game in the slot. It actually loads the DS Rom from the M3 or G6 etc that you have in the GBA slot. Someone correct me if Im wrong or not quite technically correct!
thanks for the help mr. hanky you answered all my questions. But i keep hearing people say stuff like it breaks the spring in the ds and stuff like that. Well i get ill be spending 99 for the m3 and 29.99 for the passcard. Any cheaper methods, and what is the best site to buy from
i cuold care less also if something sticks out of the gba slot, because a regular gba game does alread and for the price to play roms and my "backups" sticking out is worth it.
so which one do i buy? m3 perfect mini, m3 promini, m3 perfect sd, and then just the passcard 3. The m3adapter page wont let me buy. The best place to go anybody and exactly what i need to buy.?
if you buy from divineo, it comes out to like 119$ shipped.. or at least did for me. high shipping, but lower m3 and passcard 3 price. I live in florida, and I ordered on a thursday, sent friday, and arrived local saturday.... only prob is, it was a holiday weekend, sop I didnt get it till tuesday lol.
don't buy the m3 pro.. its strictly for DS use and i dont think they even released a US version for it
I myself got the m3 sd version, and the passcard 3. If you have a ds lite, the m3 sd version will stick out between 1/2 and 3/4 of an inch. To me it wasnt a big deal, and I had a lot of sd cards laying around, so it was good. Of course, whichever combo you get, you will still have to get a card that matches with it... (sd m3, needs an sd card, m3 lite, needs a micro sd card, etc) As to which you get, that depends on your preferences. Like I said, I myself went for the sd m3, and passcard 3. That order was 118-119$ shipped, and as I said before, was very quick to ship, tehy do fedex priority envelope.
ok so i just want to make sure i have everything that i need. 1.) if i want to play nds roms i need m3 cart thing and the passcard 3 and thats all y/n 2.)Divineo.com is the best place to ge tthis stuff fast y/n 3.)If i want to play my gba roms i need the m3 cart and thats all y/n
1. No.. .you need a flash card.. for instance if you get the SD m3, you need a sd card, etc... 2. in my experience it came out to the cheapest in the end, and also had everything in better stock than the other web sites I considered ordering from.. 3. yes
1. no no no no no no no NO... you need a flash card to go with it... CD CF, micro sd, etc... depending on what m3 you get... guys if you keep saying the answer to number 1 is yes, hes gonna buy the thing, put it in his ds, and find out theres no games for him to play because theres nothing to store them on.
