Dawn of Sorrow's intro video was choppy but Portrait of Ruins' wasn't which is odd. Not sure which other games have video intros and I can give those a try.
Guess I spoke too soon. Haven't owned it a whole 2 days and now the spring has malfunctioned. The MicroSD card won't snap into place, just wants to pop back up. This is GREAT.
just doublechecked my m3 real and found out that it wasn't a CP2 or CPE after all. It's a CP3. I guess my eyes are too burnt out from computers to read small fonts anymore.
Off to Flash Focus for more training.

FWIW I tried Castlevania PoR and DoS, on the CP2s: both games and intros worked perfectly except for DoS intro which was very choppy.
On the CPE: PoR intro fine but game play sound corrupted, just a really irritating weird static noise going on, it worked for 5 mins but couldn't stand the noise so not properly tested! DoS intro again choppy, then started to pixelate, then crashed... and the game play has same noise corruption.
Only thing this poll shows so far is that if you are going to have problems with an M3, then it will be a CPE model

I'd assumed you had a CPE as the symptoms you described before were exactly what I am getting with my CPE.
You seem to be the only one who's had any real problems with a CP2, which is unlucky, but as the problem is so similar is there more to it?
Must be much pickier about MicroSDs then which sucks.
My 2Gb Sandisk runs the DOS intro perfectly on my M3 Simply, but slideshowesque on my Real.
Time to get rid of the Real me thinks and get a DSOne or Cyclo
I so wish that the Simply supported SDHC, the only thing I wanted was more capacity.
They should just release a version of the Simply that supports SDHC.
For the record my real is CP2.
Just curious...
those who voted "I have a new "E" and it works great"
Are you filling up the SD card more than 75% of it's capacity?

System 3.0 doesn't help the problem, nor does anything else I've tried and I think I've tried everything!
And my supplier has been out of stock for weeks so I can't get a replacement, this DS has been resigned to the draw and the PSP has made a comeback now that it's been 'upgraded' IYKWIM!
It's all rather sad and frustrating though...

One other thing you can try is to get a new MicroSDHC card (borrow or buy), since it's alot faster than old microSD cards, it could solve your game loading and freezing problems.
M3-NdsReal-CPE
Game tested:
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (Intro Video)
1. 512MB Sandisk MicroSD - kinda choppy but faster than slidshow
2. 4GB A-DATA Class 6 MicroSDHC - it's as smooth as an orginal cart
It's definitely more of a media problem than M3 real problem
Update. Just tried Ultimate Mortal Kombat DS download play or local Wifi versus mode:
1. 512MB Sandisk MicroSD - Works perfectly
2. A-data 4gb mircoSDHC - Always freezes in under 1min
Anyone else with an A-data 4gb mircoSDHC class 6 has this problem?

The A-data 4 gb microSDHC class 6 did not work for me.
The card was nothing but problems! Formatted many times. I took the card back after 20 low-level formats. It would crap out under 1 minute like dsrules ().
I even tried the card in a chinese CP2 and it got stuck after time (but not as quick with the CPE)
There was another conversation somethere in this forum that talked about the gold connectors (teeth) of the cartridge. It might not connected well from all the testing. I believe that could be the reason as well.

@Xdqwerty, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! is the Japanese version of the game, different settings/characters/songs but otherwise identical mechanics. I played that before I knew about Elite Beat Agents lol. Both fantastic games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu!_Tatakae!_Ouendan+1 -
