R4 firmware to M3 DS patcher

Impatient? Convert firmware with this tool








GBAtemp member iq_132 has created a small little tool that can convert R4 firmware to work on the M3 DS Simply.

Here's an updated version of my patch program


It patches the menu to work on m3dss hardware (or English to chinese and reverse)

Would this work of an M3 lite too?

No. M3 DS meaning M3 DS Simply. Not M3 Lite.

i've just tested it...it doesn't seem to change anything...zelda still give me an error (black screen, red text..)
i've done a mistake? does it work for other guys with m3simply?

 

[iq_132]

It works fine for quite a few people.

Did you delete your _DS_MENU.SYS?

yes..i've deleted the _DS_MENU.SYS
my _DS_MENU.DAT was the 1.05 english and the rom seems to be clean... i can't find the problem
if someone can post his version of _DS_MENU.DAT (english) for m3simply it will be very usefull... *
thanks for your help iq_132

edit - the 1/2/n is for the language corresponding to the order they appear in

1 = chinese
2 = japanese
n = no

 

[Rictrunks]

Oh great, thanks for 7Z.

 

[psykopat]

Wow. You simplified the work of the M3 team.

 

[DS64]

works great

Works perfect (excuse the pun!)

is it meant to turn the menu into R4 on my M3 S?

Yes. It can also change the region (since m3dss/r4 cards have region settings) and can make M3DSS firmware work on R4 hardware.

Greatest thing I downloaded in a while... YES I was tired to wait for the M3 team... Works like a charm, just tested with SimCity & Zelda which didnt worked on the M3 but worked on the new firmware of R4... coverted it and bingo!

THANKS!

 

[Zaraf]
