all you need to do is go to http://www.handheldsources.com/M3DS/Download_M3DSR.html
and download v2.9 anddrag and drop to the root of your memory card.....

and if you have a m3 ds real it comes with a flashme which means no passcard is needed......:thumbup:

why is that i cant connect another ds to one that has a homebrew game to play multiplayer? is that not possible.

So. Just to clarify, you only need to buy 1 thing [minus any memory, SD etc.] with the M3 but 2 with the Supercard, those being Supercard and Passme?

In other words, which is the cheapest, not including any additional memory, bearing in mind I would like to be able to emulate SNES, GBA AND DS?

Yes I'm a greedy bugger

The guide is out of date. Basically, anything that runs primarily from slot-2 will require a slot-1 NoPass to boot it in DS mode to run DS homebrew. A standalone slot-1 device runs by itself without any additional equipment, but slot-1 devices cannot run GBA files.

I'd recommend a dedicated slot-1 device plus the EZ-V 3in1 expansion pack to add GBA compatibility for a cheap price. There are many slot-1 devices out there that you should research before coming to a final decision. I'd recommend looking into the following: CycloDS Evolution, Supercard DS, DSTT, EDGE, Acekard.

I Am looking to get a flash cartage or whatever its called for my mum's(kind of like a present for her) NDS to play NDS roms on, I would want at least 512mb, or even 1gb+ depending on the price, could someone advise me what one to get and what site to get it from as I am new in this area of tech.

Thanks in advance

Where would the ItouchDS fall into this? If I ordered one, would I need to buy ay adapters or storage, or is that included? I'm confused...
