So, I downloaded files presented, and copied them over to the root of the SD cart, popped it into my M3i Zero, and found out that absolutely none of the items work. They just freeze up the DSi.

I was eager to try this, as it looked really promising, and so it's a little disappointing to find out that it doesn't work.
 
Same one, if the little numbers on the top right are what we're looking at. GMP-Z003

I've tried from both links provided in the first post, and all I get is the option to pick either Sakura or Touchpod. When picking Sakura, I can browse like normal, but none of the extra firmwares work. They just freeze the DSi and it has to be turned off entirely by holding down the power button.

Did I miss something? I mean, the post just said to copy them over onto the root of the miniSD and it should work. I've done exactly that, haven't messed with Touchpod, and I even reformatted to retry. Nothing.
 
the quad boot doesn't work with GMP-Z003 version of the m3i zero... just the older ones... which is way the m3 team is dieing...
 
Well, that is rather unfortunate, and I can see you're correct, now knowing what version mine is, and looking back at the first post.

Well, if it's not too much trouble, I'm new to the DS thing, and my whole reason for getting up and trying this was to get a working version of YsM3, or as someone else called it, "Y's Menu". Is there any such version that'll work on my cart, and how would I go about getting and putting it on the cart?

There is nothing I nor anyone on the Temp can do to help with that.
Sadly the M3 Team spent months making that card (instead of updating their other cards) to lock out alternate firmwares. No one has cracked that card and no one really wants to, because it's a piece of crap and has a shit load of bugs.
I would suggest investing in a better card like one of these cards; Acekard 2i, EZ-Flash Vi, Supercard Two, or R4i Gold/R4i DSN.
All have very active teams and all are 100% better than any M3 Cards

a little question

what is the button combination to use the R4i RTS - Rts Function? xD
Click to expand...
I think it's the same as the one for M3 Sakura, you do need to turn the RTS on, but I am going to be honest with you, the RTS menu is crap and tends to crash and cause problems in the game when you use it
 
and the m3 sakura rts? is it any good now? when i used it it would work! but now when i try to use m3 sakura rts with super mario 64 ds the game freezes..

None of the RTS's for any of the M3 Firmware is worth using. They are all buggy, tend to crash a lot, and often cause more problems with the games than an AP would do.
 
bah... and here i was hoping to use it with metroid prime hunters xDD

by the way, anyway to skin the r4i rts menu? i dont really like the one that comes with it xD
 
Unfortunately, the R4iRTS uses a weird ID for their .skn files, so you would either have to attempt hex editing it to fit (which most likely will not work) OR firgure out how to recompile the makeskin.exe provided in the Moonshell2 download and have it extract the .skn with a correct ID...that is supposing that they are really using a modified .skn format anyways.

-edit-
Ugh, dam I was thinking of the R4i Platinum or whatever -_-"...Mornings are a terrible time to answer questions.
 
that looks super hard xD wouldnot a normal r4 skin work? seeing the files on the folder there is this

_sys_data - folder
ebook - folder
bright.ini
cheat.ini
gameid.cht
gbaframe.bmp
r4.ini
r4mainskin.dat
r4skin.dat
r4sprite.dat
update.dat
usrcheat.dat

that is everything inside the _system_ folder... if someone could help me

Well, I have no idea what menu you are trying to edit, but the themes folder should have been with all of that and has the general R4 theme layout...at least, that is what I see from the kernel download that I ended up getting...The _sys_data also has various miscellaneous images...but I have no idea what goes where (xD I don't have the flashcart).
 
well im using only the kernel for r4i rts.. not the cart itself.. i own a m3i zero and use quad boot
well... what if i add the themes folder? im trying to edit the r4i rts theme menu...
