hmmm...wonder if the R4 still have that bridge prob not...maybe its still changable somehwere
Chances are the don't, or if they do, won't for much longer, but I am curious how they choose R4 or M3 now, so maybe there is another point somewhere now.
EDIT:
v1.02 Final firmware has been released, nothing much seems changed for those using v1.02 Beta, but it's still worth updating anyway.
Changelog
· Hiding the display of those files and directories with "Hiding" attributes.
· Using the L button is the same as touching the screen to adjust the brightness.
· Narrowing the display for transditional Chinese characters.
· Background light will now turn off while closing DS in save mode.
· Soft reset included (L+R+A+B+X+Y) or touch the soft reset button with R to switch on/off this function.
· Decreasing possibility to experience the triforce boot screen and noise caused by using soft reset.
· Improving the technique to issue of freezing menu while using soft reset.
· Adds feature of large text size in eBook.
· eBook is also skinnable (create bckgrd_1.bmp & bckgrd_2.bmp in folder /_SYSTEM_/EBOOK)
Due to the nonsynchronous of the audio and video, Moonshell temporarily does not support soft reset, but we will update with a new edition supporting it as soon as possible.
Normally this warrents a new post, but as i've posted twice in a row I thought i'll just stick it on the end of this post :-)

R4 was (obviously) first to remove the bridge, afterwards M3 removed it. The boards are still identical and software is still the same. I'm sure theres still a way to convert its just a matter of time before someone finds out :)

back to the emulators (if anyone can help)...
I'm trying ScummVM (i think thats what its called), and I cannot get it to work within my M3 cart, it is looking for a flash reading...anyone know if there is a slot 1 version around?
Also, i was curious as to whether anyone has ported or seen any of the SCI Sierra titles available on DS. This seems to be the ideal environment for some of those games... eg Space Quest 3/4/5 Police Quest 3 etc...
Thanks to all...

found the answer to this part of my last question... here is the link to a fixed emulator for the m3 simply... you should be able to play monkey island 1/2, sam and max, indy and fate of atlantis, day of the tentacle etc on ur DS with this emulator
http://scummvm.drunkencoders.com/scummvmds0-9-1a-beta2.zip
anything info about the sierra part of my question would be great!

Dunno about the kingston with no rating, but it does say it works, and the other i a 5/5 so my assumption would be it is also a 5/5
And yes I do sell them, hence why I have so many.

sorry for the late reply, could not prise the DS out of my kids hands.
ok, i sorted out the games problem, dont fill the cart with games :)
Films, I reduced the fps to 18 (from AUTO) and now they all work fine using batchDPG, converted all kinds of format to .dpg and they worked a treat.
Download play.....im still having problems with this one. i tried both situations with the soft reset, and also with un-trimmed roms but i still cant perform download play from the M3 DS Simply....it goes further than before but still hangs...it goes through all the option screens for download play, but when it gets to the screen 'downloading' it just stays there? am i still missing something?

hello! i was wondering if you happened to know of a place to still sell the m3dss with a replacement shell or at least one with a black shell. also does the m3dss replace the existing firmware? i hear it autoskips the health warning. is there any other changes like this too and if you put a normal game back in would it be normal again?
tankies!

Don't know of any, you would have to ask if they have any of the old batch, the new batch don't come with the white shell.
Quote:

All M3 DS Simply come with the black/grey shell by default.
Quote:

No, the DS firmware is not touched by the M3 (unless you change brightness, but that only changes the brightness, nothing else)
Quote:
i hear it autoskips the health warning
You still see the health warning, but instead of touching the screen to continue it will auto-boot the M3 straight after. Or if you have FlashMe installed on your DS as I do, it boots sraight into the M3.
Quote:

As soon as you remove the M3 from the DS the console is 'back to normal' not that anything special was done in he first place.

Hey guys. Thanks for all your help here at the forum. Thanks to your advice, I purchased a DS Simply a week ago and it came in the mail today. It's great. I've been playing with it all day. :)
Here's my question, though. How do I get a NES emulator to work on this thing? I tried NesDS and Nester, but I can't seem to figure out how to get them to work correctly. Has there been a guide made yet for NES emulation on the Simply?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

1) Download nesDS and unpack
2) Download ndstool; place in nesDS directory
2) Run make_nds.bat
3) Add *.NES ROM files
4) Save file 'nesDS.ds.gba'; 'nesDS.ds' will be generated by ndstool
5) Copy 'nesDS.ds' to microSD card
6) Enjoy!
Games cannot be saved due to lack of libfat support. Doesn't stop the good ol' games like Kid Icarus though! >,>

It looks as though the language bridge is still there, but my soldering tools are at my house so I cannot test it untill next Sunday Evening/Monday at the earliest.

Aargh, I got my simply in the mail today and am extremely frustrated after over 3 hours of trying to make it work right. The first annoying thing is the stupid adaptor that came with it doesnt work at all. I cant use that one with my desktop so i have to use the kingston adaptor in my laptop. Anyway...
I have reformatted the microsd (1 gig) card to regular old FAT and copied the contents of the system folder to it several times. When I fire up the DS it gives me the initial Simply screen but when I hit the middle button which should fire up moonshell i get some sort of long winded error. The most i can read before it disappears is something to the effect of error, did the moonshl folder move or something like that. Then I get a list of 3 files at the top and a nice blue design everywhere else. Then if I wait a minute I get a black screen at the bottom and a possible media player brown thing with the time in it in the top screen. Any button i hit and it goes back to the 3 files at the top and nothing at the bottom. I wish i could read the entire error message but i cant.
Trying to get dsorganize to work and colecovision emulator as well and am having major difficulties...
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Ignore the message, it does not effect the operation of Moonshell.

That is basically the equivilent of a screen saver.

What are the three files? Anything that Moonshell can view/play? I having a hard time trying to work out what the actual problem is :S

Dunno about the colecovision emulator, but DSorganise needs a DLDI patch applied to work on the M3DS (and most other new devices)
Google 'Chism' and 'DLDI' and you'll probably find something of use.

Thank you for being the voice of reason. I never put any media in there since I saw the error message. i assumed it didnt work. It would appear to work fine. Also after some work DSOrganize also works. Patched just fine. It would seem that this is not for the technophobes out there of which I'm not thank God.
Thank you much again,
Carole
PS Are there various patches for all the homebrew out there or can I use Chism's patch for all of it? I dont understand what it does. If I did maybe I could answer my own question.
Thanks again!

Am pretty sure i can use the patch on anything but "anything" needs to be able to support the patch? colecovision doesnt do that.
Thanks,

Check out the link in my signature for a list of homebrew games and applications that function on the M3 DS Simply; DLDI support is noted for each entry.

Portrait of Ruin crashing has been linked to the MicroSD card you use, currently there is no way round it other than buying a different card. Also as far as I know, no-one knows why this happens.
I havn't used sylphamp personally so cannot give nay help on this, i might try it out later. I do know that your DS needs the wireless settings setup through a WFC game (eg MarioKart, Tetris DS) before you can use Wifi in homebrew.
