1. GBA works great. Most games work flawlessly.
2. GBA and DS can both run off the same card. You dont have to take out the passkey to load GBA. Either press START while at the M3 DS menu or hold SELECT while booting up the DS to be able to load GBA mode.
You don't have to take the Passcard out.
You can reach GBA mode two ways:
#1. Turn on the DS while holding select to get to the DS menu, then choose GBA mode.
OR
#2. Boot up the M3 and at the M3 menu, press start to boot GBA mode.
GBA roms work on FAT16 but you have to load games by pressing...
If you live near a Fry's Electronics, they should have a huge selection of card readers for cheap, unlike other stores. For $6, I got a card reader that reads CF, MS, SD, and others.
I got mine in 2 days through Priority Mail too, also in California, despite being all the way across the country.
The explanation given to me at the post office once was that shipping is faster from one highly populated area to another because there are more flights.
Not all, it depends on the camera. My Canon doesn't show the camera as a removable drive. I can transfer pictures to the computer, but it doesn't allow me to transfer anything to the camera.
Most cameras from the past few years do allow you to read and write to the media.
If fakes are an issue, maybe theres some way of only distributing the source to those who are proven homebrew developers.
If I sound stupid, i'm sorry, i'm oblivious when it come to homebrew development.
Got my M3 today too. I'm glad realhotstuff ships things out fast when they have stock of products. I preordered almost 2 weeks ago and I mine shipped the same day as yours.
I'm extremely happy with the quality of this product and that it fits flush like the G6. I love the New Super Mario Bros...
I had the same problem.
I put games into my MicroSD with Game Manager v27 before I even had the M3 Lite because I wanted to play as soon as it arrived. When the M3 came, I updated the M3 firmware to 27, but everything I had on the card already was loading incredibly slowly. I deleted them and...
Just a heads up... Monday is Labor Day, I don't think the USPS works for on the holiday. Not sure if yours is being deleivered by the United States Postal Service though.

I was trying to sell my Action Replay w/Freeloader for Gamecube. I bought it from ebay in the first place but it wasnt removed then. My auction listing was removed because it contained Freeloader. The only thing freeloader is allow you to play imported games, NOT backups! It shouldn't have been...
My guess was that there were a larger number of young SC Lite owners:
No job = less money = has to choose cheaper product.
I mean, who over the age of 18 would be bored enough to "slam" a product line, while praising a competing product by a company they have no affiliation with.
But...
A lot of people don't like front loading because it makes it possible for the MicroSD to fall out, and it prevents the cart from looking indistinguishable from the GBA cover.
