Well Kitty I just started using an older version of the VBA and it saves in .sav but I still have the problem of it loading the old save after I've deleted it as I said I even emptied out my entire GBA folder and just had the rom and even tried with the new save but it still loaded/re created it and ignored the new .sav. Do you have any suggestions because I have a feeling if it stops loading the old save like that my problem will be solved.

To get the save to work - it must be named correctly
megaman.gba - megaman.sav
Also the sav must be the right format, just checking my card they are 128KB saves. Is the save you have named correctly and 128KB in size

With games, No more than 128 games in each folder, but you can make more folders
Do not fill the card - leave at least 1MB per game free space to allow the card to make a save & opt file
Try using the latest firmware Sakura 1.34 - it is far better for browsing through the games.

Just replace your system file with this one
Thanks, I have one more question, if I download this Super, can I just put it into my card? Or do I have to replace it with something?

Super is a program you put on your PC (sorry will not work for MAC) you can convert any format (MP4, AVi. VOB) to .dpg
You then put the .dpg file on your DS and start it as you would a game, the media player will then play the film

Ive checked, double checked, triple check and quadruple checked it and I keep checking they are both named the same name and it still wont load it just keeps re creating that old save when I've deleted it so many times. Do you have any idea why I cant seem to get rid of the old save?

If they are named correctly and the old file has been removed from the card, if it still wants to make a sav file rather than load yours the sav must be incompatable (just because they are the same file ending does not guarentee compatability) The software generates a 128kb save file (on nds it is 512mb) the only other place I can point you is to the GBAtemp.net forum (they have a dedicated emulator forum for NDS)

I haven't played any GBA games on the NDS, but doesn't the save file get copied to the slot 2 cartridge when you load the game? If I'm thinking correctly, this is where the game is pulling your save file. In order to remove it, I believe you need to load a different GBA game which will copy a new save file. Then you should be able to load the original game again.

Thanks for your help kitty and silk, sorry for the very late reply I've been pretty busy but I figured it out thanks to you guys. It turns out removing the slot 2 GBA cart and putting it back in solved my problem. Thanks again guys you helped a lot.

Hi,
I have just bought an M3, put in the latest SYSTEM folder, put it in the card and then in the DS and it is not picking it up, it just says there is no card in the DS.
Im using a micro SDHC 8gb.
I have an NDS folder and a GBA folder too.
It seems its not reading the card.. any reason this may be happening?
Thanks

Papaer Shim Trick
Put a thin piece of card or folded paper behind the M3, it has poor contact on to the DS contacts, most flashcarts suffer from this.

Video can only be .dpg or .dsm Nothing else

I'm trying to play animal crossing with my friends, but I can't get online. I get up all the way to the connection part but for some reason I can't get any bars. I put in my wep key for my router and everything so its synced to my router. What should I do?

On your wireless turn off encryption completely and see if you can get on.
For security purposes you would not want to leave it unsecured but for testing purposes see if it makes any difference. If you have a neighbor that has wifi with a different type of router ask them if you can test your ds on their wifi too.
In troubleshooting you want to try and eliminate different things as the problem until you find a solution.
Thus first one will tell us if encryption settings are causing issues, and second one will verify if your ds is working with wifi at all.
Possibly if it is the security settings seem to be the issue then upgrading the firmware on the router can sometimes help.

Ah I see. Well if its the routers fault then I'm not that disappointed. I thought it was because I was using an emulator. Thanks a lot man. Oh and before I forget this is gonna sound noob but how do I take the encryption off? I've never tried it before. I'm pick up pretty easily so if I could just have something to guide me I should be good.

The software from M3 adapter.com is nearly 2 years old - they no longer host it on that site, try either of the 2 site listed below in my signature. You should once unzipped get a single folder "SYSTEM", put the whole folder on and then make another called "NDS" put the roms in here.
Should work fine

I'm trying to catch a pokemon on platinum, but it says that I need to have ruby inserted in the gba slot for me to find it. Would it still work even though im using the DS Real program or would I need the actual platinum for it to work?

Hi,
I know that this has probably already been answered, but I don't really feel like trawling through forums for hours to find the answer. I just got my M3 Real today, and I set it all up. Most of the games work, but some of them come up with the message "Save data file format error!"
What do I need to do to fix this?
Cheers.

Where did you get the software from, that sounds like a fake!
The software should be Sakura 1.4 (the best) or touchpod 4.3h, unless you bought the card a while ago the SD slot should be on the side.
With the latest software there are no issues.

Hi all, M3 DS Real owner for about a year now. Also have the GBA expansion pack. Both work great. My question is, how do I link the NDS games in say Pokemon Pearl/Diamond with the GBA game Pokemon Emerald or Leaf Green? Is there a guide out there? I've seen some d/l's, but I have no idea what to do!
ie. In Pokemon Diamond/Pearl there is an area where you can import Pokemons' from old GBA games. But the M3/Expasion pack is in the GBA slot. So I need to "tell" the DS that the GBA Expansion pack is REALLY a GBA Game! (Hope that makes sense!)
Thanks!

Hi all a NDSL newbie here.
Your wisdom would very much be appreciated.
Very pleased with the M3real card, but can the PDA function work?
Have got everything else working and not getting much joy searching threads.
Many Thanks
