Okay, have downloaded the latest version for M3 Simply now, or should I actually download the Real? And, silly question, but the one I downloaded contains a "_system_" folder and not a "SYSTEM" one. Also _system_ contains MUCH less files than my current SYSTEM. Any dangers with this?

the system is the wrong one you need to download the G6M3Real system folder and it is near the top left of the links.

Okay, one of my friends set up a usrcheat.dat file for me, and only some of the cheats on it works. They all appear in the M3 list, but not all of them activate as should...
Also, I tried mending that problem by adding and/or replacing codes in the Cheat Code Editor, however, these changes doesn't at all appear in the M3 menu. The list is still the same as the first file my friend sent me, even though in the Cheat Code Editor, codes are added and replaced. Meaning codes that shouldn't even be on the file still appear in the M3 list.
Anything that comes to mind? >:

ok go on the M3 go into NDS, pick a game then above soft-reset and cheat file(on off switch on) there should be a bit of text saying select file... tap it with a stylus and then pick out the .dat file you edited. Some cheats for some games only work for USA, EUR, JAP games etc. so make sure yours are for your version/

The .DAT file doesn't appear in my SYSTEM folder at all when going by that method, however the cheats are already in the cheat list when I start my M3. What puzzles me is that cheats that appear in that list doesn't even exist when I open the .DAT file with the Editor.
Uuurgh, I feel a headache coming on... x_X

google handheldsources DS and download the cheatcodecombiner, merge the .dat and the .db file (the .db file is the M3reals default cheat list) into one .db file and keep the original name. then use the m3real to pick this file using the select file... method

Urgh, I really hate to be this helpless, but... the combiner only wants to open .xml or .db files. It doesn't acknowledge the .dat file's existence at all. x_x

Ok if I were you my first idea would be to rename you .dat file to .db but I doubt it will work. Make sure the extension(.dat) is visible when you rename it and just change the .dat to .db.

I converted the .dat to .db, combined usrcheat and CHEAT into a new usrcheat.db, but no difference. The list is still the same and the cheats I want won't work. I'm starting to wonder if Action Replay hates me. x'D

If you convert it back to .dat and open both the .db and .dat is it in an understandable coding? the .xml is easy to change in notepad as it is a simple <game>***</game><gameid>23AS</gameid><cheat><name>good cheat</name><code>3874917107432979407328979549752897529870548920</code></cheat></game>

Well is there anywhere to download these cheats but into a way that can be converted into .db or .xml? I was sure that the M3real understood .dat.

Well, I guess it understands it... "automatically". ^^' Only it won't understand the changes I'm making to it. :/
Somehow I'm wondering if this problem could be mended by fixing my Action Replay Code Manager problem and doing the whole thing from scratch, though I'm not sure how to do that. The ARCM refuses to save my code codelists no matter what I do... <_<''

The Action Replay Code Manager is still only bitching about the fact that I don't have an actual DS connected to it...
Also, I tried everything to replace that cheatlist I got from my friend. I even deleted the entire SYSTEM folder and added a new one in (same version), meaning the M3 wants me to select language when I start it. Rebooted M3? Not if you ask the cheats - They're still there! I'm starting to feel haunted... o_O

Try deleting the cheat file included in the M3 SYSTEM folder (called "cheat.db"), then add your own cheat file,load the M3 and choose "Select File..." and choose your new cheat file. I know the M3 Simply has a problem with cheat codes clashing when you have more than one cheat file on the card, it could be the same with the M3 Real.
Should that not work, download this cheat list, I have just taken it off my M3 Real and I know it works. This has most codes available and if it does not have what you want it should at least prove that the M3 is loading the cheat files correctly.
EDIT:Accidentally uploaded the uncompressed 6MB file, I have changed it to the <1MB ZIP file, be sure to unzip it before putting it on your M3.

I am new to this whole thing, just trying to do research about which card I wanna buy :D Just wondering what is the main difference between the M3 simply and the M3 Real. The simply seems to be sold out everywhere so I am hoping that the real is just as good if not better lol.

The BBC iPlayer video downloads use DRM protection, unless you remove the DRM you cannot convert them for use on the DS. I won't go into detail on how to remove DRM but if you google i'm sure you'll find out.
The BBC trailer will work as it probably has no DRM protection.

Sorry to go off topic but I thought my findings might help a few people. I have an 8gb micro for my ds real and had the same trouble as a few others fitting more than 128 games on the cartridge. I tried making 2 folders called nds1 and nds2, which let me load the games from the 'sdcard' folder, but didnt give the option to use cheats or slo mo etc. The way around this is to split the games into 2 different folders, nds1 and nds2, both should be in the root. then to load a game, click the first icon like you normally would, when it complains about directory not found, press start. This will then give you a list of directories, choose one, choose your game, choose cheats and away you go!
Hope this helps, sorry if it's been answered already, i couldn't find it.

Sorry if this has been covered, but this thread is huge and unfortunately even though it's one of the most comprehensive guides on the real I've read I can't find too much info on my simple problem:
Where do I put my PDA files? (main and shell?)

PDA files go in the root so my root is 'E:/' and I would put my PDA folder there (so it would be 'E:/PDA') on my root just to clarify there is a folder for games, there is the SYSTEM folder and a PDA folder. I am also sure that the additional files also go into the root? I am not sure because I only used PDA for a day and it is obvious to anyone who used it that its terrible but I suggest you try it and if you don't like it no loss. When I used it the touch screen was useless as it was inaccurate, the actual thing is slow but I suppose an update may have fixed all of this.
