Isn't it because the patched data fails the validation checks?

Hey I just got my hands on one of these M3 cards, I tried following the instructions - copied the files over but when I plug it all into my NDS-lite it just says 'loading...' and doesn't progress any further. Can someone help me out or direct me to somewhere I can sort this out? I'm not sure if it's a common problem or if I've got a faulty product (I hope not!). I tried searching for threads but most of them were shut down or directed to this thread.Thanks guysDan

I sometimes get this problem all I did to fix this was take out the M3 simply and the micro SD and reinserted it and it worked fine

Thanks for the swift reply, do you use msn at all? I'd like to try someone elses files from their card and put them on to mine to see if it works, otherwise I'm assuming I've got a faulty card - I've tried re-inserting it many times but with no luck!Thanks againHey everyone, does anyone know a solution to my previously mentioned problem? or do you think I should send it back and get a refund or replacement?I'll appreciate any replies, thanks.

it sounds as if it cant read the micro sd, did you try plugging in another micro sd? and it might be a defective M3, i know of a few people who have had this problem too, and just returned their R4/M3 simply for a refund, (R4 is the maker of m3 simply and use the same chips and parts).btw if its a defective micro sd card wait about a minute on start up when it says loading and it will say error cannot load TF (TF means transfash).

M3 simply can only play NDS roms I don't think you can use a slot 2 flashcart for gba link with the simply though. I if you want to have the mineral town girls visit you on your simply version you can either:a)get the HM game on gbab)use a slot 2 device and copy the save file after the gba linkage

but if you use a slot 2 device will it detect if it you have more than one game on it? or does it just look for your savegames? has anyone tried GBA unlocks for NDS games?

According with my experiences with M3 slot 2 it reads your gba save file as well as nds save when you use the GBA link. It does read the save file like I said for harvest moon the name of your gba character appears on a grave, and I've unlocked mineral town girls on my harvest moon game.

by erase ur DS, they were proberly talking about flashing it. however it would make more sense to not use a used MicroSD card, if you do have one, format it within your computer. Start again with the required firmware and roms, and try again.make sure there isnt any dust sitting in the slot or card.godd luck

Slot 1 flashcarts don't need to be flashed, format your Micro SD to Fat 32, and put the firmware on it along with the roms you want to play.If you want to flash your DS you'll need the flashme rom and a flashcart to run the rom. Alos if you give us more detail about what happens when you turn on your DS with the Simply in it, we can give you better help, does anything appear on the screen when you turn on your DS?

when i open my ds with the simply in it it starts normaly with the "touch the touch screen to continu" and it gets me to the original ds menu(no ds card inserted, pictochat, ds download play, no game pak inserted).when i open any other ds, with the same simply and the same micro sd without changing anything on it, it brings me to the little loading black screen for 2 seconds and it gets me to te m3 menu (with game, media, slot2, the background and its written m3 ds simply in the upper right corner off the bottom screen) i can start all the game i have on my micro sd without problem.i could have think that the problem is with my slot1 but any original game card works for both slots.and i tried my friends simply on my ds and it does the same things, dont work with my ds, works with his.i dont know what other detail to give i think everything is there, if you want to know anything else ask me i'll try to anwser...

Hey I had some questions about the M3 Simply.The M3 Simply can't play multiplayer with other people using one cart but can you play games with another person like battle and trading on pokemon or racing on mario kart?How safe is the M3 Simply? Could it ruin the nintendo ds making it unplayable?It only requires slot one right? So I could put another flashcart in slot two to play GBA games?EDIT: Oh and is dealextreme.com a good website to order from? like, its legit and everything?

Hmm thats strange, I can't figure out what wrong with your DS since the M3 works on every other DS ur tested it on, for now i can only think of that you'll need to play on another DS, sorry i couldn't help much :)

Single cart multi player works for NDS game and multi cart multi player should work for all the roms, the risk of bricking your DS when using the M3 Simply is about the same as any other flashcart.M3 Simply only goes into Slot 1 so you can have a Slot 2 Flashcart in your GBA slot. You can use the Simply as a passcard to run your slot 2 flash cart in NDS mode

*sighs* I think I just have a faulty card. If only the seller would get back to my messages, I don't like giving people negative feedback.

Sorry, this might be a really stupid question, but I bought my M3 Simply last week, and everything is working just fine.In fact, skinnig it proved easier then I thought - pictures and text colors etcEither way, my questions is simpler then that: can you rename the roms? Now they have numbers and what not in front of them, some don't even have the name of the game. I mean as long as the name of the nds file and the sav file is the same it should be all right I gather, but figgured I'd better ask!Thanks in advance, this topic helped me choose!

yes you can rename them anything you want just make sure like you said to rename the sav file as well, i usually rename them before i put them on my card before i create a save file though.

Thanks!Yeah, that would be the smart thing to do - but I was too eager and so went through all the games before even thinking about the names. But thanks >.< Now I know! Away with the pesky numbers! :P

What do you mean by not working? I had to put pokemon cheats in by hand because it didn't come in the cheat.dat.

Does anyone know about how to use the new firmware? I installed it, but I cannot get the in-game cheat thing working. I press L+R+UP+START and nothing happens. How does it work? Thanks in advanced.
