Ok, it's clear.
Thanks for your input, though I'm not happy with the answer.

Thanks!

i had a lot of fun after seeing what's possible

hi everyone!
it's my first time on an english forum so im doing my best with the language, so now i'm asking for forgiveness if i make some mistake!

i have an m3i zero on my dsi.
the version of the dsi is 1.4E.
on the m3i i got the F_CORE v2.02 (the "chessmaster" one)

unfortunately i cant (for unknown reasons) use the sakura sistem.....
i really dont know why....
do anyone have some suggestions about my problem?
thank you in advance!

note: i updated the F_CORE last week. i realized that, while flashing the card, i hadn't put (in the SD) the SYSTEM folder.
maybe is this the reason why the card cant load sakura?!?

Your card could be a gmp-z003. Look at your card, does it look like this?
If it does, then you can only use Touchpod and honestly I suggest buy a better flashcard like an Acekard instead.

Wait, the latest model can't use Sakura? Since when? I thought it just couldn't load the other firmwares like Ysmenu.

I have been hearing news from people that the latest sakura update no longer works on it. I could be wrong, but for some reason it has not been working with people.
I really can't confirm this since I lack one of those cards to test it.

Now if it's true and they did it on purpose then they really killed off their own cart since Touchpod is so slow.

I've got M3DS Real, so I can't test it either.

Back up your MicroSD card and reformat with this.

Like how they locked out iTouch? From some reason M3 Team is against alternate firmwares, so it wouldn't be a shock that since Sakura can be used to load alternate firmwares, they would lock it out of their card they made just to lock out alternate firmwares.

i'll use it when i came back home! ty! =)

but, according to you, is possible that i cant use Sakura on my flash card just because, when i was flashing it with the new F_CORE, i hadn't put on the SD the SYSTEM folder with Sakura?!?

I really can't say much with 100% certainty, since I lack an M3i Zero (neither of them). This is really just speculation since they have done something like this before in the past as well as sent out broken updates without taking credit for them.

 

[calzinosporco]

and so the question that cames in my mind is:
is it possible to downgrade the F_CORE on the flashcard?

Last I checked, it wasn't possible nor is it wise to try.

 

[calzinosporco]

why? if i downgrade the CORE i can ruin the card?
or the card is designed to avoid the downgrade?

 

[The Catboy]

why?

I honestly don't know

 

[calzinosporco]

well! finally my problem has been solved!

the problem was to format the SD. i was using Gparted (a linux program for formatting).
after your advice, i tryed Panasonic SD formatter and my problem has solved!
i put the quad-boot following the tutorial!
everything seems to go all right!
ty for your help! =)

Does M3 Sakura also play .gbs audio?

 

[melder215]

can anyone help me to get extlink (the feature and folder) to work in m3 sakura? moonshell is missing a feature i want from m3sakura. thank you

I have v4.2.0 if anyone wants it for the M3 Zero.

Since I'm new, I can't post links, so correct the following:
Standard dropbox url with: /s/tufro6swbaholzh/F_CORE_v4.2.0.zip?dl=0

I would have only got it from the official site m3adapter before it went offline, and also have a bunch of MD DS Simply, R4, Wood, YSMenu and DS Lazy (rom trimmer?) - let me know if you want me to share anything else I have.
