Sorry for the newbie question, but I just have to know. Once I have an M3 cart I'm assuming I can get more than one game onto an SD card. Or is it one game per card? Also, is it easy to switch between games on the same card?

Thanks.

I'm a newbie when it comes to putting games on a cart (we use ours exclusively for music and movies although I am planning to change that) but since I asked basically this same question not long ago, I can answer it now.

The game backups that I have seen are what I think of as large- 40 MG or more. But the little bitty teen itty bitty micro card in an R4 or an M3 hold 1GB. So, yes. You can fit a bunch of them on a cart.

And yes, as I understand things switching between them isn't any more complex than just selecting which file to run.

Somebody will correct me if I am wrong so I reply with confidence. LOL.

yes snorlax your right. games run from around 32mb, 64mb, or like 126mb. depending on how much space you have determines how many games you can put on. micro-sd cards for m3 simply can go up to 2gb, 4gb are rare. it is easy to switch from game to game. you can chose either turn off the ds and restart it. or you can use a soft reset by pressing a+b+x+y+L+R at the same time. you must turn the soft reset key option on though. some people leave it off because you might accidently press it during game play, and it will reset the game to the main menu. also, to chose games, there will be a menu where you can pick games, simply choosing the file and it will automatically run it.
