Hi, I have a M3 DS real and it works fine!!! But with it i get a gba expansion pack, rumble pack and gba expansion pack for the original ds. And when i was putting the gba expansion pack into the gba expansion pack for the original ds, and was trying it, it didn't work!!! Some roms work, but not all, and when it's working the game looks broken. I have the gba expansion into the ds without m3 ds real and it's says: "a ds option pack is insert" And when i try to load GBA exloader it says: "No expansion pack insert" The same problem with the rumble pack. And I tried also with only the gba expansion pack for the nds lite and the same problem.

Help me out is there any way to fix it by modding it or a program???

Why is this here and not in the M3 section?

Anyway, the DS recognise the M3 GBA expansion pack as an option pack. That is normal.

GBAExploader doesn't work with the GBA expansion pack because the M3 team BAWWW to Rudolph probably threatening him with lawsuits if he doesn't remove support for M3 products from GBAExploader, so he did. I believe you can get a patch to patch GBAExploader to make it work with M3 stuff, or you can just look around for an old version of GBAExploader. Google around.

If you have a M3DS, you are better off not using GBA ExpLoader anyway, as the built-in GBA support is superior on all terms. And the exclusion should block M3 Slot-1 devices only, not M3 Slot-2 carts as expansions.

It works. Sakura can use it just fine. Run the GBA game from the Sakura menu. It'll work then. That's with the .gba expansion, and not exploader or any of that.

The DS cannot tell what pack is in it when it's an option pack. Rumble or RAM, it's both the same to the system.

If you are loading from the M3 firmware (Sakura or Touchpod), and it still doesn't work properly, then maybe you have a defective unit. I don't have any suggestions other than get a replacement, unfortunately.

Also, could you explain what "Some roms work, but not all, and when it's working the game looks broken" mean exactly? Do you get graphical glitches, or black screens, or freezes or something?
