Hey my M3 Real is on the way and I was wondering what is it like trying to do Wifi connection with DS games through the system. Does it supply you with a friend code? Can you even use Wifi with roms?

Sorry if this seems stupid, but I think I have a faulty M3 DS Real. I have downloaded the v2.8 loader from the M3 site, and unzipped the folder. I put the SYSTEM folder as instructed into the root of the micro SD card (1gb Kingston), and I inserted it into the flashcart. I then put it in my DS. It just says "Please insert DS card". What am I doing wrong? I formatted it into FAT32 the first time, but after reading the back, it said standard FAT system. So now I formatted it back into FAT. Why's it not reading the card right?

I think we're having the same problem...per my post here. Have you tried re-seating the card (multiple times), powering the DS off and on inbetween? It takes me something like 30 tries to get it to work. I also formatted FAT32 (per Mr Hanky's guide here) and I think I have Kingston memory (I don't want to take it out because I'm afraid it won't work when I put it back!). Anyone have any thoughts?

hi,

just bought one of these things and its good so far, the only prob is that when i go to put new games in my 'nds' file on my 2gb microsd card it wont let me, it says its 'write protected'. same goes for when i try to format the card.

anyone else had this problem?

i appreciate this isn't a problem with the m3dsreal itself but help would be greatly appreciated.

My assumption would be yes, but I have never checked this.

I can confirm that a SanDisk MicroSDHC 6GB Class 4 card works fine as that's the card I use.

Yes I would recommend it over the R4/M3DSS. My M3 DS Simply has not been touched since receiving my M3 Real. The only downside to the Real over the R4/M3DSS is the GUI is alot slower but I consider it a small price for the added features, nice look and of course SDHC support. (And the speed of the GUI could be improved in future firmware updates)

GUI stands for Graphical User Interface (basically the menus etc.)

I have never used modchipfitters.com

I bought my M3 Real from www.addictsupplies.com for £32.99 + £2.49 postage, arrived two days later (Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded). Also have very good customer service. The M3 Real perfect bundle is currently out of stock there but the home page says they're expecting more sometime next week.

Mr hanky,

Is your card a Sandisk a japanese card? I wondering if the issue still exist with Castlevania as it relates to the M3 Simply device.

I usually stick with Kingston as I can get them locally and confirm that they are Japanese manufactured. I have gotten burned with mail order Kingstons getting cards made in Taiwan or elsewhere.

I's the orgin not an issue with class 6? Hopefully 4GB and 6GB cards will drop in price now that Sandisk has announced there 12Gig micro card!
