Jun 17, 2019 The original DS and the DS Lite have a slot for GBA cartridges. The DSi, 3DS, New 3DS and 3DS/N3DS variants do not. All of them have a built in GBA, since each of them descend technology wise from the GBA. The 3DS/N3DS has a built in GBA cartridge. GB games can run on a Slot-1 card, using a Gameboy emulator like GameYob. For GBA you'll need a Slot-2 card. I recommend the EZ-Flash Omega.

How to install the M3
You should have the following items in your possession:- a M3 SD, Mini-SD, Lite or CF adapter- a passkey or Passcard 3 (for DS Mode)- any SD/CF card writer- a SD, Mini-SD,MicroSD or CF card, FAT32 formatted (according to they type of M3 Adapter you have)- a Nintendo DS or DS Lite- the installation disc (if provided)- any Nintendo DS cartridge
If you miss any of these items, you will not be able to use all the features of your M3.
First step: installing the software. If you have the installation disc, insert it into your cd-rom drive. Browse the CD to find the folder 'GAME'. Inside this folder, you should find a 'M3 GAME Manager 2.2.exe' file. Double-click to open it. Click 'next' a few times when the window pops up, then 'Finish'. OK, you've successfully installed the M3 Game manager!
Second step: plug your SD/CF card writer to your computer. Insert your SD/CF card. It should create a new drive unit (ie. E:, F:, G: , H: ..). Now open the M3 game manager. You will be asked for your M3 adapter type (SD or CF). In my case it's SD.
Here is the main window of the client software:
On the left side, select the drive that corresponds to your SD/CF card.On the center, you can see the list of files that are on the drive you selected.On the right, the list of actions to perform:- Write NDS -> read part 2 of this 'how to'- Write GBA -> read part 3 of this 'how to'- Delete -> this will delete the files you selected in the list that is on the center of the window- Help -> this opens a text file, the M3 adapter manual
How to play a NDS game
After section 1 is complete (installation). Open the M3 game manager.On the left side of the window, select the drive unit corresponding to your SD/CF card.On the right side of the window, click on the button 'Write NDS'.Then select a NDS game.A new window should pop up:
Before clicking OK, I suggest you read this page:http://leo.rampen.ca/m3wiki/index.php/M3_NDS_romsThis is a compatibility list for M3. In the list, find the game you've selected (in my case it's NFS U.2, game #2 in the list).The list says: * WORKS with M3 Game Manager 1.8 + Firmware 10My M3 game manager version and firmware version don't match, but since I've got newer versions, I assume it will work!Sometimes, it also tells you which settings you should use. For example:
# 0074 - Ganbare Goemon - Toukai Douchuu (J)(Trashman)
* WORKS with M3 Game Manager 2.3 + Firmware 12 (Use 4X DMA Mode)
In my case, I don't need any particular setting so I'll use the default settings. Now click on the 'OK' button.You will have to wait a short while, depending on your SD/CF cart speed, USB socket type and writer speed.A smart window 'Write OK' will pop up when it's complete.
Now, remove your SD/CF cart from your writer.Insert it in the M3 adapter.Insert the M3 adapter in the GBA slot of your Nintendo DS.Insert any original NDS cartridge in the passkey.Insert the passkey into the NDS.Make sure the passkey switch is on the left side ('Passkey')
Turn on your NDS. You should now see the main menu.It can't be used with the stylus, you have to use the d-pad.To play a NDS game, select the bottom left item, 'Game' (the gamepad icon)You should get to another menu, which is the list of games that are on your CF/SD cart.Select a game using the d-pad (up and down), and press A to start a game.You should get to another menu, which is the list of existing SAVEGAMES for this game.Press left or right to select your savegame (it should have no effect if you have only 1 savegame)Press A, and the game should load.

The 'Load IPS' thingy is useful if you want to apply an IPS patch. It is not needed in our case.Check the 'enable real time' if you want to play a game that uses the internal clock of the GBA (like any Pokemon games).If you don't know, use the default setting.Always use the default setting for 'save patch', it will enable the save feature.
Now click on the 'OK' button.You will have to wait a short while, depending on your SD/CF cart speed, USB socket type and writer speed.A smart window 'Write OK' will pop up when it's complete.
Now, remove your SD/CF cart from your writer.Insert it in the M3 adapter.Insert the M3 adapter in the GBA slot of your Nintendo DS.<!> REMOVE THE PASSKEY FROM THE NDS.

Q: How is the NDS rom compatibility of the M3?
The compatibility of Roms on the M3 is near 100%, It supports clean roms and can fully run them. Check the compatibility list here:http://m3wiki.com/index.php/Compatibility_ListsOne game which i have noticed, does not work is SnowBoarding. But im sure there is a patch for it.
Q: I can't get this rom #XXXX to work
Check this compatibility list:http://m3wiki.com/index.php/Compatibility_ListsIt will tell you what settings you should use for your specific game.You might have to upgrade the firmware of your M3 adapter. See the 'how to' guide, section 8, if you don't know how to upgrade the firmware.If you still can't get your rom to work, get another version of the rom.
Q: What's the cheapest place to buy a M3 ?
We don't know any single online shop, but though we highly recommend shop.01media.com, or realhotstuff.com reliable, online, shops with good prices and fast shipping.

Q: What's the difference between M3 SD and M3 CF ?
The M3 adapter was originally designed for CF cards only. The SD version is the same, although more recent.The only difference I've noticed is the design. The CF version is larger, because CF cards are large, while SD cards are tiny.I personnally prefer the SD version because you can remove the SD card from the M3 adapter without removing the M3 adapter from the NDS. With the CF version, you have to remove the M3 adapter from the NDS first and then you can remove the CF card.

Q: What settings should I select when writing a NDS rom?
We suggest you always use the default settings. If the game doesnt work with the default settings, check the compatibility list here:http://m3wiki.com/index.php/Compatibility_ListsFollow the instructions corresponding to the rom you're writing.
Q: How are the flashing times? Is it fast?
Actually it depends on your SD/CF card, your CF/SD writer and the USB socket type. If you have a USB 2 CF/SD writer, and a fast CF/SD card, it will be fast. My personal flashing times are: with a no-name USB1.1 CF/SD writer, a PNY 128MB card, writing a 64 megabytes (=512 Mbits) game => 1 min 50 seconds (110s).
Q: I have a new NDS, is the M3 compatible with it ?
The PassMe that is currently supplied with M3 adapters are not compatible with new NDS. Thus you need to acquire a Passme 2 in replacement for the Passkey supplied with the M3 adapter.
Q: Can you have multiple game saves on the M3 ?
The M3 can indeed have different save files for the same game. How does it work? Well, you need to play the game at least once so that the M3 creates one save file on the SD/CF card. Then, insert your SD/CF card into your SD/CF writer. On your PC, create a copy of the existing save file, and give it the name you want, the name doesn't matter.
Q: If the name of a save file doesn't matter, how can the M3 know what save should be loaded with a game?
Actually, it's quite simple. The format of M3 save files is: [ 256 kilobytes of save data ][ 1 kilobytes of M3 indexing data]. The save is then 257kb big. The indexing data stuff is the part where the M3 'writes' the filename of the rom. If you change the filename of a rom, the saves will not be 'recognized' anymore. If you rename it back to its old name, it will work again.
Q: Does the M3 adapter work with the GB Micro?
Yes it will! If you have the Lite version, a later included GBA cover is needed.
