    I have a SanDisk 2gb sd card which am trying to use with my passkey2 and M3 player and original grey ds. I constantly get the this card is not formated warning even tho I formatted it through xp and my 7 in 1 usb IC card reader in FAT and FAT32. I use these two sites to try to get my m3 adapter and passkey2 to work:

    http://www.dualscene.net/viewpage.php?page_id=33

    http://www.console.se/NDS/m3adaptersd.html

    and to top it off and not even sure how to access the passkey2 menu, when ever I cut it on in passkey1 mode when the m3 isnt in the ds, I get the nintendo ds warning and then a white screen.

    But maybe its just me and I dont have any idea of how to do it properly. So if some1 can give me some real basic instructions on how to get this done I will be most greatful, or even if someone would like to add me to their msn or yahoo messenger that would be even better, i will just pm u with my info if that works for you and thxz for your time.

    I have the same set-up with the exception of I'm using a Ds lite. And can confirm the 2gb Sandisk does not work with the M3 mini sd!!!
    I borrowed a 512 from a friend and it works gr8!

    Now can soneone tell me why I can fit 10 games on my 512 card? I'm very confused about the sizing of files regarding nds. I thought 4 games max on a 512 card?

    PLZ HELP!!! :mad:

    Four games max if it's a 512 megabit card, which equates to only 64 megabytes (8 bits to a byte).

    Since you're using a 512 megabyte SD card, you can fit quite a bit more. A decent comparision would be that it provides 4 gigabits of storage.
