Hacking M3 GBA Pack Questions

[Intimidator80]

Few Questions

1st: Does it play gbc and gb roms?

2nd: If so does it play the gb games in black and white?

3rd: How much more of your ds battery does it take up?

Thanks for any help guys.

1) Yes, you need to use an emulator. Use Lameboy for gbc and gb.
2) I think it does play it in bnw. Why wouldnt it?
3) I dont really think it affects battery.

In my experience and from most of the posts from other people with it, it does indeed drain the battery faster. Seems to differ a bit from person to person as far as how much faster. Mine seems to only run for a couple hours with it in, so I make a point of never really using it unless I'm somewhere I can plug in.

*edit* Just to clarify, whether I'm using it or not, if it's in it shortens my battery life. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm using it or not.

For question 2 i meant only in black and white or can they be played in color.

Also to play gbc and gb roms all i need to do is put the emulator on the memory card pop it in the m3 and then just load it up on the ds with the m3 and gba pack in,no patching or anything like that?

Thanks for the help

you dont need the m3 gba pack if you are using an emu to play gb and gbc games
its all run from the slot-1 cart, however gba is not

I get like 4-5hrs of battery life and my gba pak in plugged in 24/7

I didnt know that xD but when i download lameboy and right click it DLDirc M3 Adapter (SD Card) Patch comes up i choose it and it patches it but when i try to load it up on the m3 i get this msg "Unable to initialize medi fps Please use correct dldi patch.

Any help on getting it to work?

Edit: I tried something else and now all i get if a black screen lol

Btw im using m3 real with m3 sakura system file if that helps.

[Intimidator80]

Ok i downloaded that patched it and the same thing came up

sorry for being a bother but any help is great.

Am i patching it with the right thing or what?

 

[Joe88]

wait, it should auto DLID patch by the M3 Real firmware
place the nds file in the root dir of the MicroSD card (dont patch it, just place it like you recieved it)
and start it

With the reg m3 real firemware or can i do it on m3 sakura?

 

[Intimidator80]

Well it works great with the m3 reg firmware but is there a way to get it working on m3 sakura? Either way thanks for the help man your awesome

Also thanks for everyone else that replied to this topic

i think i have lameboy 0.11(newer version) and it works fine straight from the m3sakura menu.

if you have trouble running it in m3sakura, make sure you DIDN'T dldi patch, and also make sure you don't have a wallpaper set on m3sakura.

 

[Joe88]

ok here is v0.11
it is a new ver, last month

thanks for all yalls help guess now will get the gba pack to play the gba games too xD

Wonder why it wont work if i got a skin on? Thats pretty weird oh well i can live without it xD Again thanks guys

You can use it if you change skin, cut not if you use custom background....that breaks automatic DLDI patching..
