When I start it up it show the enix and nintendo thing then when it goes to the mario screen it seems to freeze. I can hear a nasty sound and the screen is almost white but I can see the mario 3v3 logo slightly in the background. I put the latest software on the m3 and my computer from the M3 website (I'm not sure it is the latests though). I used the trim rom and 1x dma settings with no software reset.
