Hi there, ive read allot of how to's and im getting a little confused.
Ive also tried to read the above n00b guide which is brill and answers a few questions but the downlaod link doesnt work.
If i can explain, ive bought a M3 Simply Card from memory bits and followed their instructions
Insert micro SD card in to the card reader and plug in to the usb port wait for a few seconds for windows to find it and automatically install the correct drivers for a usb device.
Go to START and then my computer the usb +micro SD will have been given a drive name i.e. e: f: g: .a, b, c, d, are normally used for standard pc use. If you do not know which the new one is unplug it and watch which drive number goes and it should reappear when you plug it back in.
Right Click on the device and select FAT from the drop down box which should say FAT32 and then format the card, a 2 GB card takes around 10 seconds you can name, label the card if you want.
Download the m3101.zip folder and unzip it then you will have a war file you need to unzip as well, drag and drop it on to the desktop, then drag and drop it on to the drive which is the micro sd . When done it can take up to 2 minutes remove the micro sd and plug it in to the m3 adaptor plug in to ds and power up. You will have the m3 ds logos on the top screen.
Now you just drag and drop you’re backed up ds roms onto the micro SD card.
Do one rom folder at a time as this is quicker than copying 20 at once .on a 2gb micro I have had 46 full roms all work well with no lag or speed issues
Whilst that all sounds very easy i have read other tutorials which state i should have a few others files that i should drag and drop in (_DS_MSHL.DAT, _system_ and moonshl) which werent advised to do by the above? The only file in that zip was the _ds_menu.dat..
Also some people say use version 1.07 , some say 1.10?
Can anyone answer if im firstly doing the correct thing and whetehr i need the other files and secondly if i am whats the correct version of firmware i should use?
