    Most likly problem is your trying to use the English firmware on a Japanese or Chinese unit, you need to either download the appropriate firmware for your M3, or you can patch the English firmware to work with the Chinese/Japanese unit.

    First thing to do is test other games to make sure it's not an issue with your M3 or MicroSD
