Hey,

I just recently bought a M3DS Real + Expansion + Rumble pack (So I can back up all my games

At first, the NDS / GBA icons within the M3 detected all games, now suddenly, the NDS icon detects nothing, yet the GBA icon still brings up the list of GBA titles. I have to now access "Mycard" icon and it'll see and find the NDS folder, but the NDS icon won't display the games, but it WAS doing it just recently.

Any ideas?

Have you tried reloading the M3 DS real software onto the card again.

I dont think talking about Roms etc is allowed, seeing as it is illegal.

There's nothing in the rules that state talking about flash cart capabilities, commercial ROMs on the other hand is a no no www.myds.com.au/

I think you should start over again. Pull off all the games and delete everything else. Copy back over the system files and start over. I'm not sure what happened, but you may have accidently switched over the options to read from the gba card only. I've seen that option somewhere.

Great setup. Exact same one I got just before Christmas.

Hey, thanks for all the replies.

This card is for legally backing up my games

I have another question...

I have a 8gig SDHC in my M3Real, does anyone find that with such a large Micro Disc, that DS games seem to run slowly or slower? Like loading times, and frame issues?

Seems a bit odd, I don't think I'm imagining it, Super Princess Preach seems slower so far.

That is odd. I didn't think that would happen. It worries me then, that's the reason why I bought this card, for SDHC support.

Are you using a San disk branded card?

Hmm. I'm only just learning about this format. I know there are classes of SDHC cards. I hear a lot of people saying that you should use Class 6 cards. I think it might also be the speed rating. That card you got is a class 4.

Have you tried other games that you use to play a lot to see if the slow down is the same?

I also suggest getting in contact with ozmodchips. They might be able to give you a better answer to your problem. If you do, let us know what they say...

Its the card - You can t help it, its class 4 - not as good as say, a 1gb card.Nothing really to do with the M3....there might be a slight difference...but not much

So there you have it.
It's odd, Super Princess Peach, I notice slow down DURING play.

Yet Mario Kart, and Elite Beat Agents, constant streaming games, I don't notice "Slow down" but I notice longer loading times.

So far, the only REAL issue I have come across, is load times, we're talking maybe a full "1...2...3" then it loads, instead of "1"

Slow down hasn't shown strong signs on any game yet to affect game play, so I guess overall I'm still happy.
