Works great. Now, I wonder if this will work for GBA Backup Tool or if a patch for that one can be made. It can be done, you have shown us this. Your awesomeness can only be exponentially increased by making one for GBA Backup Tool. :

it's an ips patch so it will only work on gba exploader 0.58, nothing else.
unless off course the creator decides to make more patches.

Out of everything I have tried which has been literally every suggestion on how to get this to work on m3 real (stock firmware, or otherwise) this is the only thing that has worked and it works on sakura so I assume it likely works on itouchds and m3 real stock as mentioned.

This thread should be stickied by the mods, because out of all the false info out there this really does work. I will probably notify DX because without this they and others will have a lot of upset customers.

When you launch the patched version of GBAexploader 0.58b, do you have the message :
"This hardware is NOT available" ? or you have something else ?

It says this hardware is now available (A) confirm then it HANGS forever on Initialize (I know it makes a couple of folders in the Initialize process but it does not go further!

Ok. Seems that the DLDI driver can't create folders. Your microSD is ok ?
Verify it with the checkdisk command on your PC :
chkdsk x: /f
where x: is the letter of your microSD PC card reader.
As you are here, checkdisk will gives you cluster's size. Which size you have ?

And if it can help, i have tested on a M3real with firmware E32

The standard one.

Also you might try with Cory1492's GBAldr perhaps it could fix somewhat your problem in re-initializing the hardware.

BTW, Cory1492 has not yet updated his homebrew to work with the last ez 3in1Plus.

Try moving some of the other files around in the same directory.
Mine always hung on "Initalize..." when I had the SoftReset.M3DS file in the root (for some reason it works now)

Wow! That did the trick :-)

Mine also stuck on Initialize... (M3 Real GBA Expansion : (gets identified as [M3/G6]) , and the EZ3-in-1 , new version (gets identified : [New3in1])

I wouldn't have thought to try removing SoftReset.M3DS from my card , thanx!

So Rudolph is working for the M3 Team or what ?
If i understand the situation here.
The ez 3in1 can't be used on M3Real and Itouch because Rudolph has excluded them from GBAexploader 0.58b.
BUT, he has also included the support of M3 GBA expansion pack so it can be used on other flashcart than M3Real or Itouch.

At the end, he has excluded the ez 3in1 to work with M3Real/Itouch so users of those flashcarts must buy the M3 GBA expansion, and he has included support of the M3 GBA expansion so the M3 Team can also sell this for other flashcart (without published sources ?!).
In Japan, M3 team is doing great as i can see !
