Hacking m3 simply, some questions

[ZuluEdison]

My cousin just got a ds, and it looks like the m3 card is probably the easiest to use, so I plan on steering him in that direction. However I had a few questions.

every computer in his house is a mac. I read on the site that the card is completely drag and drop, so it shouldnt matter, correct?

I currently use an ez flash 4, and have to update the rom list every once in awhile, what needs to be updated on the m3?


thanks in advance, i really appreciate any help with these questions.

Because the R4 makes the M3 Simply & their almost identical. And the R4 is cheaper plus gets it’s updates earlier I would get the R4 over the simply. But your cousin should have no problems with the R4 & his Mac. From time to time there will be firmware updates, & that just consists of dragging the new update on to the card. There really is no easier card out there.

I have a M3 simply and maintain it through Linux without issue so mac's should work just as well or better.

I even remember seeing something on here about someone making a dock application for dldi patching.

You don't need to do any DLDI patching for the R4/Simply anymore. DLDI auto-patching was added in Version 1.10 of the R4 loader (v1.06 of the Simply loader).

Oh cool. Stupid school keeping me too busy to update my simply.

in v1.06 DLDI Auto-patching is not working on my M3DS, though I don't care ..
Maybe it's me doing something wrong, but can't be bothered for the manual / instructions, cause I just patch myself.
Have tried with nitrotracker and phidias.

I use Mac OS without problems and sometimes windows (on Mac intel)
Mac DLDI patching is done with 'DLDI Drop' a nice app sitting in the dock.
