So i tried using this guide.
http://gbatemp.net/t168862-how-to-enable-m...-quick-tutorial

I've set up two m3i zeros before one for myself and gf. Doing another for a friend and it's weird when i plug it to flash it. The red light doesn't blink instead its just solid red from the get go. Another weird thing about it is the place to insert the metal flash strip is right next to the micro sd card slot. On my m3i zero and my gf's it's on the other side.

I wonder if this one is a different version and needs to be setup in another way, let me know please help.

It's likely the newer model, I have one, and the usb is adjacent to the SD slot. As for flashing however, I used that guide you linked, with great success. My best guess is you have an older firmware, as L551 said.

Bear in mind that you cannot use any of the special firmwares with the new card. No quad boot, woodr4, etc.

Reformatted my card to fat32 and tried with that f_core.dat file and it doesn't blink when i try and flash it. It has a solid light. Am i doing something wrong? Please help, thanks.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
