i have been trying to get my DS Real to work, but i just can't seem to get it working. i've done everything you're supposed to: download firmware 'Software' folder (i downloaded firmware v.3.8), create 'NDS' folder and only put in .nds games, and yet, it still doesn't work.

here's what i get when i go to the NDS section:


notice the weird icons? how did that happen? also, when i do try to play a game, i get this:


after this pops up, nothing changes. it never runs the game.

does somebody know what i need to do, or should i just return the thing and ask for a new one?

hmmmmmmmmmmmm have you tried formatting your memory card and then putting the fresh SYSTEM folder you downloaded on your memory card. try downloading a new system folder just to be sure the last wasnt corrupt - http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=2749

you could also try the sakura SYSTEM folder from here - http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=2553

it does seem very strange that the icons are all messed up and i was wondering if you had accidently deleted something from the system folder and that probably a format of the memory and a fresh system folder is what you need .

let me know how you get on mate , woof811.

would that change anything?

it could be that they are advertising that the new m3 sakura english firmware will be available soon or does your flashcart have the m3 sakura sticker instead of m3real sticker ?

another issue you may have to patch the nds file before it will boot several files are that way.
