Doesn't look like it works with my M3 Simply :( Touch-screen not responding...

Seemed to be working nicely on my SupercardSD, but looks like the save function doesn't work.

Still, this is an extremely nice app.

Sorry the save does work, as explained by papafuji here:

# Place a file called "DSFrotz.sc.nds.sav" (for example) on your SD, in the same folder as the game "DSFrotz.sc.nds" (same name than the game, with .sav at the end)
# This file is read automatically when you begin to play the game. So you can restore your game data very simply!
# When you play, just save your data in SRAM (type "SV" or "SAVE" with the stylus)
# When you have finished to play, you have to flush the content of the SRAM to your SD. To do that, just turn your NDS off. Then turn it on quickly, go to the "saver" menu and select the .sav file of your game. The SD menu ask you if you want to overwrite the .sav file - say ok - that's fine, data are saved!
# warning : the saver option seems to have disapeared in the 1.70 version of the Supercard firmware !!! But that works correctly with the 1.63b !

It's a shame this isn't receiving more attention, it's a beautifully created homebrew project.
