Most likly problem is your trying to use the English firmware on a Japanese or Chinese unit, you need to either download the appropriate firmware for your M3, or you can patch the English firmware to work with the Chinese/Japanese unit.

Yep, just overwrite the one currently on your card with the patched one.

First thing to do is test other games to make sure it's not an issue with your M3 or MicroSD
