check that you have the R4 system files on it
I just bought my M3 Real DS. I have been playing arround with it by getting the system files and stuff ,but I am totally stumped on how to get my homebrew to work. Whenever I try to run it, it comes with a DLDI compatible on a loading screen and stays there forever. I have tried a wide variety of homebrew programs but they all do the same thing. Help?
Hi folks i am a complete newbie and i am just about to order the M3 real ds rumble packs for my 2 boys and was wondering:
1: Is there anything else required to get this working and also where are the best sites to getgames as i have been mostly using Mininova for more other downloads.
2: How do i get movies on there so they can watch them in the car and give me some piece thanks any help would be great
I'm a novice at this but hopefully this should help some new people.
How to get up and running playing games straight away.
( less than 5 to 10 minutes depending on your computer skills)
Just bought N5 card** and MicroSD cards from http://www.techsplosion.co.uk other cheaper shops are available. :) but they suppplied me within 24 hrs and I had dealt with them before so I knew they were reliable and not ripoff merchants.
************************************
Inserted the microSD card into the USB card reader
1. Formatted card to FAT. ( N5 cards seem to prefer the FAT rather than FAT32.)
2. Downloaded the latest 1.17 system files from http://www.dsn5.com/EN-N5/n5-en.htm The N5 cards comes supplied with a CD with the system files on it, these were older 1.16 version that probably had some bugs in the programming. The newer version 1.17 has these bugs fixed. From what I have read about the N5 card they hope to be updating the software regularly unlike some of the other card manufacturers.
3. Unzipped /extracted the files to the MicroSD card.
4. Other methods fo finding games are available but this is quickest method I used. Googled this exact phrase:
"Parent Directory" ds roms .nds
Downloaded the backup games I required from the first decent site (Right click on file name and select save as.. save these to a folder on your hard drive.).
5. Extract/unzip the file to the MicroSD card which is still in the USB reader. If it is just a .nds file you have downloaded just copy it straight to the MicroSD card.
6. Insert the MicroSD card into the N5 card adapter.
7. Insert this into your DS LITE and turn it on.
8. Using sytlus tap the first Icon on the left of the bottom screen.
9. Top screen should have list of the games you put on the microSD card.
10. Using the + pad on the left of your DSlite you can move up and down the menu. Bottom screen will show you the name of game in a box like original games. To play the game just tap the box. If the screen show a cheat box you can tap on it to disable the cheat modes (which are ON by default). Otherwise just play the game as normal. Most games will give onscreen instructions on how to play.
******************************************
** N5 cards are newest clones of the R4 /M3 card they run the exact same system files (R4 file encrypted N5 files are not.) These cards plug in SLOT-1 ( exact same way as original carts). You do not need any any passcard and supports all version of DS. The N5 cards support 1Gb up to 32Gb MicroSd cards. (The brand I use are Kingston and they work pretty well)

PLEASE NOTE: I do not own any sites or have files available for downloading. I do not condone priacy of any kind, the information supplied is for software programming educational use ONLY and is easily and freely available on the internet you just need to know where to look. You should only download the games if you have bought the original. The .nds files are backups in case your original games gets damaged.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SELL THESE BACKUPS IT IS ILLEGAL. THEY ARE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY.
You act as if downloading the games is more legal than selling them. The "backup" argument is not valid, despite what people want to believe.
Whatever, it's not worth arguing.
What slot-2 devices can i use to run gba roms on my M3 Simply and how do i do it.
kay i got a quick ?. I just bought a DS lite, but it doesnt let me save GBA games on it...any1 kno whats up?
says "save failed, checking backup memory" but just stays at that screen.
can some one help me with pictods pleez?i want to convert a pdf file to jpg,and i have program called pdftojpg but i dont know how to set up the third party section(the pdf to jpg section).it gives me an error .i only added this but wont work:"C:\Program Files\PDFtoJPG\PDFtoJPG.exe" (seems that i need to add some extensions but i dont know how.
Try installing Paperless Printer instead to print your PDF file to a series of JPEG images which can then be converted with PicToDS.
I know PicToDS has some form of PDF-to-CBDS conversion built-in, but I honestly have no clue how to work it.
1)how do i install a paperless printer?
2)pict ds doesnt accept jpg files,does it?i only can add cbr,cbz and pdf files to it...
if someone tell me the original path for pdf to jpg part in pictods under the option-->configure path i can make it work.(i screwed up when i tried to change it!!)
Paperless Printer installs just like any other program. AFter installing it, go to your document and go to File - Print. Choose Paperless Printer and hit "print" to see the various options you have.
PicToDS can select a folder full of regular *.jpg images with the Choose Folder option (or whatever it's called).
or you can use this online convertor...

Its what i use!!!
This thread is a bit of a minefield to navigate for those of us who are a bit new to all this. I got an M3 DS Real for my birthday and am just trying to work out what I can do with it. Is there any chance someone who knows what they're talking about could compile all this information into one post with descriptions that mean something to those of us who might not instinctively know what an emu is (other than a big flightless bird that runs fast, that is)? Maybe a new post for beginners? I'm really trying to learn but there doesn't seem to be much info out there that is catered for beginners, and you have to just through hoops to find what there is.
This got me started with Moonshell, if there's anyone in the same boat as me: http://www.mobydisk.com/techres/nintendods/index.html but there were quite a few things I still needed to work out for myself and from there I'm a bit stuck. I spent hours trying to work out how to play a video file using the inbuilt media player, then discovered that I can't find a converter that works for .dsm files. Another wasted day got me using Moonshell, and DSOrganize, but it took me a while to work out. While I've never been all that into game colsoles etc. I am an IT professional so I at least have some understanding of what people are talking about. I'd hate to think what's like for people who aren't! I'd really like to learn to use the inbuilt software before jaunting off into the Homebrew world but where do I even start?
The problem is that homebrew changes quite often, and it's usually pretty difficult to maintain a large amount of material like this since everything is so dynamic.
You can try looking through the various wikipedia-like sites out there, like the PocketHeaven wiki, GBAtemp wiki, DS-Xtra wiki, etc.
Just for the record, an "emu" is short for an emulator, which is used to make a system simulate another system. For instance, with an emulator you can run NES games on your DS because the emulator interprets the NES games and translates them into something the DS can use. Each emulator requires different setup methods.
I need Help! I've just recently gotten the M3 DS Real bundle but now I'm having problems with the T-Flash Card Reader (http://www.globalsourcesdirect.com/s...-Reader/Detail), meaning I can't copy anything to my DS. Whenever I plug it in I get an error saying:
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it".
It has been working fine up until today. I've tried all the normal avenues - different USB port, rebooted, uninsalled the USB root hub and rebooted... Nothing seems to work. When I plug it in to a new port it starts to install the drivers but part way through says there was a error and gives me the above error message. The problem only affects this device and all my other USB devices work fine. The error appears whether I have the memory card in it or not and I can read the memory card if I use a different card reader (borrowed...).
I think that I need to manually reinstall the drivers for the card reader but I can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know either where I can download a fresh copy of the drivers or another way to fix this? Maybe if I could replace the .dll...? I'm stumped!
