Watch the caps - it's like you're shouting and against forum rules.

Reading obviously isn't one of your strong points.
First mention of a possible software method is at post #26 and almost every post after is about it, post #37 has a link to a patcher (which I have not tried)

That's strange because I just downloaded the file no problem at all. Even loaded the patcher as far as it asking me for what file I want to patch.

ok i tested it does not work. Looks like it is going to work... let's you choose english then the menu appears and the whole bottom of the screen goes black.
I patched both files and it still happens.
Tested with both units.... any thoughts ?

Just tried the patcher, I have an English model so have had to do the patching the other way to what you want (I need to patch the Chinese loader to work on English):
Tested:
- Chinese 2.7d (most recent loader) The menu loaded but game failed to load (tested using NSMB)
- Tested an old 2.4 Chinese loader and it worked fine, but is missing some of the updates of the newer firmwares.
It could be I'm doing something wrong or it just doesn't work with the newer loaders (which was why I recommended the hardware method)
Also if these are going to be Christmas presents doing the soft-patch is not the best idea as when the owner comes to update the firmware they'll find out they have a Chinese unit and need to patch the English firmware to work (whereas the hardware mod should leave the M3 as "English" forever)
(and a note to mods, I did a multi post so that spvision hopefully gets an email notification that the thread has been updated since my last post.)

Rumble only works with compatible games, first one I can think of is Metroid Pinball, I don't have a rumble pak to test with my M3 though.

Why? it's your fault you bought the Chinese version not DealExtremes, I've been watching your pathetic whinge over on DXs forums yet I still decided to help you (unlike the people on your DX post who just laughed at your stupidity).
If anything you could be done for fraud if you get get a refund from the credit card company without returning the M3s first.

not quite... if you read my tech support thread you would know that there was no denotion of chinese version and i was told specifically it would work in english by tech support.
I was lied to plain and simple and they have already received many complaints about this as I have blown the whistle already.
And don't call me a whiner "Mr Hanky" LOL See you in South Park

PS what kind of freaking loser named MR Hanky has the nerve to insult ANYONE else for asking legitimate questions. Any time you care to compare IQs... I am here and ready.
Take Care.

not sure if this is the right place to ask this....but i have a couple questions after receiving my M3 DS Real and reading your tutorial (which was very good btw, thanks)
1. while watching movies thru the media player....i cant get the bottom screen of my DS to shut off/go black. it stays a purple-ish color and is quite bothersome while watching the movie. my old M3 Simply, it would turn off the bottom screen. are there settings to change this on the M3 Real?
2. the software, moonshell, can you use any version? because the version i ran on my M3 Simply was MUCH more basic. all the new color icons and sub menu's....are nice to look at but take a bit longer to navigate thru. is it possible to run older versions of moonshell?
i tried loading an older version, and it didnt work. is the media player built into the M3 Real?
thanks for any answers.

I don't use Moonshell so I am not sure about the purple screen issue.
You should be able to use a 'standard' Moonshell, but you will need to load it from the "My Card" option on the M3 and not the media icon (the M3s Moonshell is built in). Again, as I do not use moonshell I have not tested this.

Have you tried getting DSLinux to run using your M3 Real yet? Using the above named HW/SW I could not get anything to run except a nicely backlit black screen (on both screens). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! (Let me know if there is anymore needed info... I tried to include everything)

OK solved it. Went to linFox (http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/) and downloaded the 2.7d loader. Downgraded and everything works now. The new (2.7e) loader is screwed up somehow. Hope this ends up helping others with similar problems.

when the movie is playing, tap the touch screen and go to PlayControl. there you can change the "Screen mode" to "Top Screen". This will switch off the bottom screen
