Thanks. I simply overlooked your response.

I think what would be more helpful is if you state why you need the save files.
The Gamemanager (i assume is what you mean by GM Manager) is only really meant for the old slot-2 M3 range and is not needed for the M3 Real or M3 Simply.
If all you need to do is backup/restore save files you can simply copy them from/to the card in Windows, saves will be stored in the same folder as the game (normally the 'NDS' folder)
Your response leads me to believe I have totally misinterpreted the "save" function. I just want to be able to pick up where I left off when I resume a game. Like when playing a golf game. I want to be able to stop part way through a round, and then later resume that round.
I'm sorry if I have confused everyone. This is all very new to me.

I think what you want is Real Time Save (allows you to save whenever you want, not just when the game normally allows you to save), this unfortunately is not available for DS games on the M3 Real yet, but will hopefully be included in a future firmware update.
At the moment you can save games as you would with the retail game, but that is all.

He knows what the save format is until adamski came along to say it was .sav which is wrong, aswell as terrible grammar.
He wants to know why he cannot see the .0 file when he is browsing his games the answer is simple, The M3Real only shows .nds files so any other file put in will not show but the save files are there you just cannot see them. ( just for the record the types of files it shows are .nds, .gba, .pc, .snes, .nes, .gb these are all shown as they are compatable with the M3Real and all have save files created in the same folder as they are)

I've just got my M3 Real back, and i can see what he meant by GM Manager now, so yes unacquain is correct about the filetypes it displays.
I updated the firmware and I was correct about the new firmware now changing the save files to .sav in preparation for the new Sakura system. Which also means adamski64 is correct about the save file extension (as everyone should always be running the latest firmware ;-) lol)

Well I am running old firmware as all the updates didn't apply to me (mostly fixes of games) but how does it go about backing up saves to slot one or two?(default -> 1, default -> 2, 1 -> default etc.)

The backup slots are still named .1 and .2, I have no idea what the point is changing the .0 to .sav unless it is maybe a different format of save and that just helps distinguish it, but i dunno, i haven't really bothered looking into it.

I have a few questions that I can?t seem to figure out
1. How do you convert and watch movies
I can?t figure out the steps to convert movies. Also, when I go to the media section, it freezes with a pink screen.
Can I play movies through moonshell if I add the new version?
2. How do you read books on the DS
is this done with comic book DS or is there another program
also where do you get e-books?
3. I have DSOrganize on my DS but I can?t browse the web. When I press A on the web browsing icon, nothing happens.
thanks for the help

cactusj00: In order to convert movie files for media-extend(the built in application) you use the encoder from the moonshell version09 which I can link you to afterwards.
An EBook is a .txt file and can be made by copying and pasting anything into notepad and saving it to the M3Real as a .txt
EBooks can be viewed in media extend under the EBook option.
If it freezes at a pink screen then if your M3Real is almost full clear up some space otherwise replace the system folder on the M3Real.
Yes Moonshell will work.
Here is the moonshell09 http://www.ziddu.com/download.php?uid=ba...qhkZSoZaqdnZam8 now browse the files until you find a file called DPGENC.EXE and from here on it's pretty straightforward and I feel no need to explain it.
asusfood: To change a .0 into a .sav just rename it(if you cannot see the .0 file extension go into control panel and find the folder options and set to show file extensions.
http://www.ziddu.com/download.php?uid=Z6...qhkZSoYqqgmJWo5 this is a file full of metroid manga.

I've never had any problems ordering from Divineo.
When ordering from the China site (the site i normally use, i assume you used the USA site) I get an email almost immediately after placing the order and another when the order has been sent. Check your spam box to see if the emails ended up there.

adamski I am sorry I was unaware that the changeover had started and I thought it used a .0 extension I shouldn't have corrected you so confidently.

Xtreme don't worry I'm sure it'll get to you regardless of the obscenity of the forums.
Adamski Nah no worries I'm just feeling a bit like a pr**k at the moment because I was so quick like I thought of myself as some super genious and noone else is right :P
Sasha that is what you want but do not forget that there are other bundles... with that one you won't ne able to play GBA, NES, SNES etc. or any homebrew that was designed for those devices( all the homebrew is outdated and nobody uses it anyway but some games are good such as super metroid) you can get a Rumble RAM pak which I say you shouldn't even consider getting or a GBA expansion PAK which comes with the Rumble pak in the one you showed us and an added ram pak that allows GBA games to be played.
If you have ordered the one in that link and you want to play Pre-NDS console games do not worry there is plenty of homebrew to play retro games for example NESDS plays NES games without an expansion but to play NES games in the M3Real's own built-in emulator you will need the expansion.

So whats my best bet for just playing homebrew NDS games then? (including the most up to date ones)just stick with the M3 DS Simply? im not interested in GBA cause i only play DS games.

In that case the one you were looking at is your best option.
M3Real is better than M3Simply when it comes to NDS games.
