What is the highest current firmware for M3 Devices?

I just got on my comp and there is a dl at http://www.m3adapter.com/Downloads.htm

for M3 SD 34a or 34. Also, current game settings at
http://www.m3wiki.com/index.php/M3_NDS_roms/1551-1600

list 35 and 34 FW.

Why is there 35 FW and GM here if it isn't on the official company web site: http://m3wiki.com/index.php/M3_software

What are the differences between FW and GM that contain a,b,c,d, etc.?

Do the FW and GM have to be the same?

I'm dl'ing it now, but it is taking 4ever, any other sites to get the update from faster?

Dualscene.net needs to update their M3 Updates page

Nevermind, I decided to roll with the 35 FW and 35a GM found here:
http://m3wiki.com/index.php/M3_software

and it works fine.

Why doesn't Zelda Phantom Hourglass give me the Force R/W option (It shows up for *some* other games)?

EDIT
Here are the suggested settings from: http://www.m3wiki.com/index.php/M3_NDS_roms/1501-1550

1514 The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (E) (EXiMUS)
34D 35 SD
(Trim Rom, 1xDMA, Software Reset, Force R/W) - APPLY arm7fix
35 35 SD
(Safe Mode, Trim Rom, Force R/W)=> download play works ^^

This isn't helping me because the Force R/W option isn't showing up for me to check it!

Also do I need to apply the arm7fix (seems like if you want to save you have to do so)?

I found it is explained here:
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=57788&hl=

EDIT2
I EVEN APPLIED THE ARM7 FIX AND THE FORCE R/W OPTION STILL WON'T SHOW UP!

PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME!

EDIT3
This page here says to zip or rar the rom then write it in gamemanager from that:
http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=38731

I put it in a rar, did write NDS, all files, double clicked the rar, and it said write ok! even though it did nothing.

EDIT4 SUCCESS!
I tried the ARM patched game with 1xDMA, no trim, and no soft reset.

It seems to work. The first time I played the game it said save files created and I couldn't press anything.

Then I power cycled the DS and restarted the game, I made a file with my name and started the game.

So as far as I can tell, I'm good now!
