Hi all,

Just wondering if there is a GBA emulator that is compatible with M3DS Real?

The "inbuilt" emulators don't seem to save my games. But i am able to save games using emulators i put on myself

And i do have a GBA expansion pak :P

Thanks all in advance

Well there are some GBA emulators that will work, Actually any GBA emulator should work but I dont know any in particular.
Many people have had this problem and they used the RTS and saved in-game... not sure on the details but it works.

I've tried the suggested method in this topic but alas, it fails.

My NES games don't get saved either by the inbuilt emulators

I've contacted M3 and tbh...they were no help. Told me to charge my DS along with the the cart all night. I did, (failed again) then they basically told me to return it. :( sad times

So do i basically d/l a GBA emulator and stick it on my SD card? or is it more complicated than that? :P

Yes it is that simple, Put the emulator on you M3real sd card and the run it in the DS, the M3 will auto patch it and then the emulator will run and allow you to play any GBA games on your M3R card.

Is this for definite? I've just tried Visual boy advance and Boycott advance. No auto patching going on :(

Oke can anyone help me out. I have the M3 DS Real, and the cheat option is already available, but I want to use the cheats from Action Replay.
I've put the default_codelist.xlm in my system folder en the cheat option is available, I selected some cheats and than turned Cheats ON (example: Moonstone x999) en start up the game. The only thing is the cheats aint work..

msd89: Well leave the emulator on the root of your card and run it though MyCard from the main M3Real menu, If this doesn't work then I'm clueless as to how to do it but make sure its an .nds file

koenville: I'm assuming that firstly you are not english and secondly that you meant .xml well my first idea would be to use the codemaker program that turns .xml files and merges them with the default codelist on the M3Real.

No problem, to see if its an .nds file open you SD card in windows explorer(basically on you desktop double click my computer and then the SD card) now right click anywhere other than a file and go to view/details then the entire view will change to show name|size|type|date modified now under the type column it should say NDS file if it isn't a NDS file it's probably an EXE file.
(and I know for a fact that visualboy is an EXE meant to be run on a PC however I thought you may have found a port)

No sorry but an EXE has a total different way of working from an NDS but I'm sure there are some somewhere, I'm going to take a look but I suggest you search google for simething like 'NDS EMULATOR HOMEBREW'

koenville: The default cheat file is a .db extension, the cheat code combiner tool basically puts the codes from the .xml into this and the M3Real will let you use the cheats as default.

http://www.handheldsources.com/M3DS/Download_M3DSR.html
download the M3 Cheat Code Combiner V1.21Beta (22-10-2007)

I personally have not tried this but I have heard no problems, and if this doesn't work then it is probably because the codes you use are wrong or some other external factor.

Thank you for this guide,

There is no SYSTEM file in the .ZIP file downloaded from the
M3 site. Did you mean that I should create a folder called system and put all the files from the .zip inside of it?

I guess I will try that next.

Just added a small bit to the guide for instances when there is no SYSTEM folder in the zip file:

Quote:
(should there not be a SYSTEM folder, simply create one on your MicroSD and drag all the files from the .zip into it)

Hi folks, I'm theADDict removed
To put it as simply as possible, this is how to get going with your M3 REAL and GBA slot 2 pack.

-format your micro sd to FAT.
-unzip the latest firmware ( SYSTEM folder) onto the micro sd
-create folder alongside called NDS, and unzip NDS 'software' in there.
-create a third folder named GBA and unzip/drop your gba files in there.
-safely eject the micro sd from ya pc and away you go !!
