[iamanobody]

this works with
* GBA roms/homebrew
* NDS roms
* most NDS homebrew

it is for english m3 carts
it has not been translated
it is not guaranteed to work or be reliable. back up your card first

@iamnobody:

You da man

Can you provide some sort of text dump of the firmware's text? All of the text on the skins have been translated, but I want to completely translate the internal text as well.

Dude you just made my day congrats

 

[JPH]

M3 Team is working on English firmware.
It'll be posted on front page and uploaded to GBAtemp Download Center, when it does get released.

Hopefully it'll get released soon. Hold your breathe!

If anyone does manage to get one of their M3 Sakura promotional Slot-1 carts - by all means, tell us about it and post some images of it!

 

[sboi]

congratz... well done!

 

[allergictolife]

thats weird. it works perfect for me.

 

[Chrono_Tata]

Works for me. Unstable, but it works. Nice job hacking this.

When you drag a DS rom right, you get a little menu. There is a little icon with a clock. Could this be... real time save? O__o

In any case, I'd wait for the official US/EU firmware before risking killing my game save files with this.

 

[Urza]

Works on 1GB Kingston Japan.

Earlier attempt was using a 4GB A-Data SDHC.

SDHC loader doesn't work?

I use an 8GB SanDisk card. It works.

 

[OSW]

i replaced the M3 DLDI section of g6dsload.eng (iamanobody's modified version) with the G6 DLDI. this eliminated the "FAT init" error, however it still halted on a similar error screen as i expected.

thats about as much hacking (if u can even call it that) that i can do lol.

Explanation of the Icons

Blue Folder: Select cheat file
"!" Word Bubble: Select cheats
Wrench: Cheat switch (??=OFF; ????=Key Toggle ON/OFF; ????=Always Enabled)
Clock: Slow motion switch (??=OFF; L+?=L+Left; L+?=L+Right)
Green Left-Pointing Arrow: Soft rest function (I can't get this to turn on for some reason, it's always OFF)
Turtle: Slow motion
Blue "Play" Button: Download play switch (??=Standard; ??=Enabled)
Floppy Disk: Save changes
Red "X": Cancel changes

When you save changes, you get the following message:
??????????
Changes have been saved.
?????????????
Please shut down the console.

When you cancel (or press B), this message appears:
??????????
Canceled settings.
?????????????
Please shut down the console.

 

[ridgecity]

has anyone tried i on a g6?

 

[iamanobody]

i do not have a SDHC, so i cannot test that. i do not have a g6 and cannot test that.

@Urza: it looks like your memory card has an error. try running checkdisk on in
