Hacking m3 real

[kidkawaii]

so i recently purchased a m3 real perfect bundle - figured i'd rather have the added options and not use them versus want to use the features of the expansion pack/rumble and not have them.

my problem: ALL the websites and resources ive read have stated that the m3 is compatible with both the NDS & NDSL where as when the package arrived it was clearly made only for the NDSL

my question: what the hell am i supposed to do with these useless 30$ pieces of plastic? how can i use the m3 to play NDS games without an expansion pack?


should i just return the bundle and exchange it for...? (suggestions?)

oh yeah, obviously, i have an original NDS..

There aren't any NDS games that require the expansion pack. The M3 Real should work fine on its own.

 

[Masta_mind257]

sell the expansions on ebay, then just use it for a real rumble pak

the M3 itself is compatible with both.
and i believe resellers are supposed to state that the option packs are lite-only.

if you have a DS/GBA-screwdriver and a GBA card you're willing to sacrifice you can "transplant" the inside of the option packs.
there are people who got their m3 option packs to work on a phat DS like that.

If that doesnt work..using an old M3 MiniSD does the trick, it gets recognized by the M3Real. (You dont have to put a MiniSD in it)
