Hacking New M3 DS Real v2.9 System Files

[Arithon]

Here is the European version of the v2.9 system files.

Here is the Japanese version of the v2.9 system files.

And here is the Asian version of the v2.9 system files.

These are the same links you would get from
http://www.handheldsources.com/M3DS/Download_M3DSR.html if it was working.

Also I have edited the European Menu.eng to use the nicer looking font and
uploaded it here http://tinyload.com/r96xt for any that want it.

This edited Menu.eng is only for v2.9.

Translated notes about the release:

1. Resolved "1877 - the letter box ()" can not be soft reset problem can now use the soft reset normal game;
2. Resolved "1907 - Beizi dolls (Germany)," the problem can not be soft reset, can now use the soft reset normal game;
3. Resolved "1915 horse life ()" can not be soft reset problem can now use the soft reset normal game;
4. Multimedia expansion of DSM decoder engine efficiency increased by 30%, to resolve some audio-visual magic box in a complex screen video playback or fast moving images produced Huaping and stalled;
5. Automatic Chinese name to show support for the control of DS games ROM 1915.

Note: The deadline for the release date, all NDS games can be normal operations, can not be used for soft reset of the game 16.

can someone check if this fixes that "BootIcon" autoboot function?
the one where it seems that the option is disabled?

Some n00b questions:
1. This is the latest firmware for M3 DS Real, right?
2. If I have the M3 DS Real Chinese version, I need the Asian version, right?
3. If I have the M3 DS Real Chinese version, can this latest firmware version be 'patched' into an English one without doing some hardware modification (no soldering, only software Chinese->English patch using the tool from Turn your Chinese M3 Real to English, and vice-versa! thread)?

Another n00b question? When I upgraded from v2.7d to v2.8 I just swapped the system folder. Is this the right method?
It worked last time just wondered if I was doing something wrong, as on other threads I have read people mentioned getting a "do you want to upgrade" message on screen.

I won't have my M3 Real for another week as well, but thanks for the linkies. Grabbing...

 

[Biomenece]

I just deleted my old system folder and put one archive in, it will ask for laguage again. all work fine so far

so what did they fix in this release?

For the M3 Real you simply replace the System folder with the new firmware.

Your serious? Changing "FONT"."GBBIG5TOGB.BIN" to "FONTWEST"."BIG5TOGB.BIN" actually worked? Sweet and thanks

No, that's not been fixed...still.

alibasbas: 1.) Yes
2.) Yes.
3.) Haven't tried but I assume so, or else why make a thread?

Biomenece, if you don't delete anything and do a direct replace, you shouldn't have to put the language in again. And for the fixes, see the 2nd post of this thread.

Noob here....

I downloaded 2.9 unzipped all the files...

Now I just create a folder "system" on flash and copy all the files there correct? If not what is the right way to do so?


Thanks guys...

 

[Kie]

I don't know why you have to create a system folder...the v2.9 when unzipped has a system folder included, so you just copy the given system folder onto your micro sd card. Easy as that

 

[fbm111]

I must not be doing something right because when I unzip it there is no system folder.

 

[fbm111]

I have downloaded the file from different sources and I still find no "system" folder when I unzip it.

I do not have the M3 Real yet (in the Mail) I was just trying to get my micro card ready.

So as long as I unzip everything into a "system" folder in the root of the microSD then I should be good to just plug the card in when I get it correct?

Also do capital letters matter?

Thanks again.

 

[OSW]

the system folder can be in capitals or undercase, it doesn't matter.

there should certainly be a system folder already created for you with the update.

there is definitely one in the link catflap posted;
http://down.gbalpha.com/GBalpha/Softwares/G6&M3DS-R_E16.zip

get that one if you havent already.

When I updated from v2.8 to v2.9, I realised that Contra 4 doesn't work anymore if the firmware is soft-modded from Chinese to English. The standard Chinese firmware works fine. Is anyone else seeing the same problem? I have a Chinese unit bought by mistake. Thanks.

Actually I realised that Contra 4 doesn't support the soft reset function. If its disabled, Contra 4 runs fine.
