I purchased an M3 Lite when it first came out, the one with complete GBA compatibility. I recently upgraded to a DSi and stumbled across a Game Boy Micro.
To make a long story short, I want to be able to use my M3 Lite on my GB Micro but I dont have the GBA shell that they used to sell for it before. Can anyone point me in the right direction of acquiring one? My worst case scenario is that I will be purchasing an EZ Flash IV but I feel like the M3 Lite is the better flashcard.

M3 Lite GBA Case?
08 October 2009 - 08:31 PM
So I have an M3 Lite and GBA Micro...
08 October 2009 - 08:23 PM
I want to be able to use them together. The M3 Lite is the original release, the one that has full GBA rom support with RTS and all that fancy stuff. It's just that I don't have any shells that would allow me to use it on my micro. Is my only real option to purchase a EZFlashIV?
Upgrading to 4.0 from "October 23rd" Wii Fix
03 July 2009 - 10:10 PM
I recently got back to using my Wii after a long span of tme where I simply wasn't playing games and feel severely out of the loop. It seems there's been a lot of really cool progress made and now you can even go as far as loading Wii games from an external HD.
A long time ago I downgraded from 3.4 (I think) using the "October 23rd Fix" posted here a while back to what my wii is claiming to be 3.3U. I loadedseveral VC and VC-injected titles and was a pretty happy camper for a long time.
Now I'd also like to take advantage of the USB Loading functionality the new firmware has to offer, without losing the ability to install VC Wads. Or more specifically, what's the ideal upgrade path I should take to not lose any of my current functionality and gain some of the new features?
If there's a way to find out exactly what firmware and cios and things like that I have installed, could someone point me in the right direction to find all this information out? I almost feel like I'd have an easier time upgrading from a blank Wii.
With that said, I do have quite a few questions about all this. I honestly do own every single Wii game I want. I also own most of the VC titles I inject but in their original SNES cartridges, I just didn't want to pay for them again. But what I was wondering is if there is a benefit to ripping my own Wii games to load onto the HD over downloading them from torrents/MU/RS. Are there any other essential programs or applications I should look into?
As it stands I'd be perfectly happy with being able to use some form of USB Loading and retain VC Wad installation functionality. Also, with the new update am I able to install WADS onto the SD card instead of the Wii's severely lacking memory?

M3 Real, M3 Lite, M3 GBA Expansion, M3 Lite Perfect, and a Acekard2i
19 June 2009 - 11:13 AM
I realize that I might have posted this in the entirely wrong section. I've been out of the loop for quite some time and I'm hoping to get some questions answered.
For a number of years I've been running My Passcard + M3 Lite combination on a 2gb microsd card with great satisfaction, but now I'm looking to see what else I can do.
As it stands I currently have:
Black DS Lite
Slot 1 Passcard
M3 Lite w/ 2gb Sandisk MicroSD
Unused A-Data 8gb MicroSDHC Class 6
Unused Acekard2i
The original idea was the run all my DS games on the Acekard2i, accompanied by the 8gb, then all my GBA games (can't let go of it or I would have a DSi right now) on the M3 Lite. It seemed like a relatively good solution and I already have all the available parts but I was wondering if there's anything more to gain from other combinations.
It just so happens that my friend would very much like to buy my Acekard2i for his DSi since I already have it on hand and he won't have to wait a lengthy amount of time to use it. That leaves me with a bit of leeway in terms of how I should go about this.
Is there something more to be gained by going the M3 Real + M3 Lite route? What I really want to know is if it will function identically to the M3 Real + GBA Expansion combination. Are there any advantages to going the M3 Real + GBA Expansion combination instead? This would mean that I could simply purchase an M3 Real and have a very, very nice setup. But if it's much better to go the M3 Real + GBA Expansion solution I am not opposed to purchasing both.
I also have another question in regards to my M3 Lite. Is there any difference between my M3 Lite and the M3 Lite Perfect? Please note that I purchased my M3 Lite the exact week that it was initially launched, so it's basically M3's original DS Lite flagship model. I'm sure there were updates between the two, but I'd like to very much know what the differences are.
