Homebrew on DS lite

[Colesy72]

I've mastered the dreambox but I'm struggling on my son and daughters DS lite. I have brought an M3 adaptor and micro Sd card. Can anyone shed any light??
Just struggling to find the software as it does not seem to recognise files that I down load to the sd card.

Hopefully someone can help.

Cheers:tsk

is it a m3 real

if so if i remember right , after you load the software on the card you have to make a games folder , just put the nds roms in here

Teddy:ok

A games folder on the micro sd card? I'll try in the am.

Cheers.:ok

I reckon, I may need to put some software on ds before I start trying to run games???

Have you already go the m3 software on the microsd card?
I dont know if that card uses moonshell or its own variant, but normally for the carts, as long as you have the correct software, any clean rom (.nds file) will run?
m3 software available here http://www.consolesource.com/support/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=downloadfile&downloaditemid=55

got mine from modchipfitters.com

should have the links to follow on there, if i remember you load the software on the sd card but have to make another folder and name it games , then put the nds roms here

Teddy:ok

Almost there, I have the software on the sd card for M3 and have downloaded some games into the a seperate file on the sd card under the folder name games!!!

It boots up now as M3 DS Real and when I go into the files, I see two sub folders. System and games.

Under games, I have the 3 games which I have loaded onto the sd card.


I click on a game and it says GBA will be loaded.

I ok that, and it says ' No slot-2 GBA card found!'

Then the Rumble pack vibrates like mad!!!

Thanks for the help so far!!!

To be honest after loading the card specific software and drag and dropping teh <gamename>.nds file straight to the microsd card, I have never had a problem - the ds has just worked, booted tot the card specific screen listing games loaded and you choose one and off you go, well its worked with an M3 simply, a few DSTT carts and the newer N5 revolution carts too - never put the game files into a folder on any of them, just straight onto the microsd.
Have you tried it without the rumble pack?
And checkked the game files are definitely .nds not .gba or similar?

:ok
Nice one for all the help.
Found the system file I had downloaded was an older version. Found another version 3.3 and everything was spot on!!!

2 happy kids now!!!! :evil:
