i have had my m3 lite chinese version (as purchased from shop here in hong kong) and its a very nice unit. loving the way it fits in so nicely. saves working well... although i didn't know what i was doing at first as i hadn't put the saves in the correct location but nice unit indeed.

Hi, I wonder if you could help

Like you, yesterday I purchased a Chinese version of the M3 cart

Everything is working fine apart from the save games.

I had a quick look on the net and people was saying I needed to create a folder on the mini sd card called NDSSAVE, I did this but nothing is been written into there.

When I start up the DS I can see the last game I was playing with some alert type Chinese text below it

If I start the game again it picks up where I had saved it

If I start another game it wipes out the previous save

I was under the assumption that it had an auto save facility, but I have a sneaky feeling the chap who I got it off had been messing with the setting options which are all in Chinese

I need help before I throw it out of the window, it is driving me nuts

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, or could someone send me an image of what the settings should look like, as I cannot read Chinese

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help

ok.. well the problem is an easy one.. it is a little confusing to start using the m3 lite if you don't read any instructions or follow things correctly.. it tool me a few moments to get things working. here is waht you do.

In the game manager software that you run in windows you have to windows. on the left is navigation and on the right is the contents of the location you have navigated to.

first plug in your sd micro card and select the new removable drive that represents the sd micro card from the left side of the game manager. then on your right side if your card is new and clean (you should start again anyway) it should be blank of files.

now at this stage you can click the write ds button, use the pop-up window to navigate to the location of the ds rom on your hard drive and then after a short loading time it will ask you to select the settings you want. i always just choose the reset option but some games need specific options checked. once it has finished writing the file it will have automatically created the NDSSAVE folder on your sd card and placed the save file within this. now when you boot up the m3 menu and select the game you should have no troubles with the save game.

Fantastic, It works a treat

I cannot believe I missed putting the save files into the folder on the sd card

Once again many thanks for all of your help, and next time I will try and read a few more instructions in my rush to get things working

Dragonminded has stopped making DSOrganize, partly because he got sick of some irc op.

http://dragonminded.blogspot.com/

Dammit. He was a good one. Hopefully he cools off and starts realizing it doesn't matter what other people think and do. If he likes coding homebrew he should keep doing it, he's really good.

Hey everyone. Been a while since I've posted in here. I've been really busy with work and simply don't have the time/energy to keep the thread up to date anymore.

I don't have any big news, but there is a cool new homebrew release that I thought some of you may be interested in. It's called Comic Book DS, and it's a comic book viewer for the DS (in case you somehow couldn't tell by the name :rolleyes: ). I haven't tested this myself, but by all reports it works very well. Looks like a very well put together peice of software :yes:

SnezziDS (SNES Emu) has been updated a couple of weeks ago with all kinds of fixes. Chrono Trigger now works!!

PIXIL is being ported as a front end for DSLinux. No usable release yet and no word on when it will be ready, but it looks like it will actually make DSLinux usable :p

DSBlue is a remote desktop, organizer, and Wifi sniffer app. Nice GUI.

The creator of Moonshell is at it again with his release of a Wifi voice chat client, WifiVoiceChat 1.4. I haven't use it myself, but by all accounts it works pretty good.

What ROM are you trying to run? At this point, it has limited compatibility. Alos, try the latest version just released. You can get it here.

To use, simply drop the .smc ROM file on the snezzi.exe and copy the resulting .nds file to your card. For Supercard, you may have to rename the .gba file to .nds and use that one.

When using, hold L+R+Select and hit up or down to cycle through background and text display modes.

The M3 team has announced the "Pro" version of the M3 Lite, Mini , and SD. The "Pro" version is the same as the Perfect version, but with no GBA support. For those of you that don't need GBA backups, this is your chance to get an M3 for signifigantly cheaper. Word is the price for the M3 Lite is about half of the Perfect versions. $42USD rather than $80USD for the Perfect version.

Also big news is the new FAT Lib for homebrew developers. Hopefully this will mean better homebrew support for the M3 and G6 :yes: .

'The attachment is package & information of M3 Lite pro .

We will release the M3 mini pro / M3 SD pro next week & we will release the

M3 Lite pro around 2 weeks later .

The price of M3 pro is much lower than the M3 perfect .

It can play amlost all the NDS games like M3 Perfect , the only

difference is that it just can't play the GBA roms over 32M .

By the way we have made the new G6/M3 FAT Lib for the developers .'

:) Thanks a lot. Loving the M3 menu compared to the plain old SC menu.

Anyway, I finished the black version. Now I don't know what version to use :p

Download for both: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2QGFEFSV

You're welcome :) though now I can decide which one to use :p

I presume you just put the file (BACKING.LE5) into the "BACKING" folder on microSD card? Yup, just read the readme file :p lol

Going to use them now, my M3Lite Perfect replacement came today :D going to try it now! :D

I'm trying Chrono Triggers.

What do you mean by "For Supercard, you may have to rename the .gba file to .nds and use that one. "

Where is the .gba file? You mean I have to rename the .nds to .gba?

It doesn't matter though. I tried both the generated .nds file and the renamed .gba file. The .nds file gives me 2 black screens, and .gba freezes after the Game Boy Nintendo logo.

Ok I somehow got it working by cycling through the back ground and text. But none of the modes is working very well... I guess a patch would fix it, and I hope somebody makes a patch for this wonderful game.

Yeah, it's not perfect, but it's "pretty good". You can get it so all the graphics show perfectly, but then there is no text. Make it so you can read the text, and there are some small graphical problems. I usually just have it so the backgrounds are perfect, and then change when there is text.

Just getting the game running is a huge acheivement as it has to emulate not only the SNES, but a special chip that was in that game. Luckily the developer seems very dedicated to getting it to run perfect though and each release of his emu sees signifigant improvements.

I'm still waiting on a perfectly running Mortal Kombat 2 though :p

Hi all,

I live in Singapore and am wondering whether I should purchase an M3 Lite from Winsunx or Divineo. I am not concerned about higher shipping costs right now.

I'm really paranoid about using my credit card online. Is Divineo trustable? Do they have a Verisign signature or something? Thanks, I'm just taking the extra precaution ;)

Thanks in advance,

Pochii

    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...

      Microsoft Weekly: Xbox exclusives are back, big Windows app updates, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here. Microsoft is returning to XBOX exclusives, Windows 11 gets new preview builds, the Low-latency Profile is here, big updates for inbox Windows apps, Patch Tuesday updates, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are now publicly available. Windows 11 users can download KB5094126, which introduces plenty of new features and security updates, including the Low-latency Profile for better performance, shared Bluetooth audio support, and more. Windows 10 users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program can download KB5094127. In addition, Microsoft released new Defender updates for its operating systems. Speaking of Defender, Microsoft will now deliver EDR updates via Microsoft Update for faster security improvements independent of Patch Tuesday updates. Following the release of this month's Patch Tuesday updates, Microsoft also published new Windows 11 images available in the Media Creation Tool app. Now, you can create bootable USB media for clean Windows 11 installations with the latest releases. Some unfortunate stuff is going on with certain PCs from Dell and HP. Dell acknowledged that the SupportAssist bug causes black screens of death, while HP systems are suffering from Secure Boot update issues and boot loops. Both companies issued official advisories. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 29610.1000 and 28120.2302 This week's "Canary" builds only contain performance improvements and fixes, including the Low-latency mode, which is now available in the Stable channel for all Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 users. Dev Channel Build 26300.8687 Microsoft brought some useful File Explorer changes with this build. You can now open folders in a new tab by middle-clicking them in the address bar.

Google has some bad news for those still using MV2-based extensions in Chromium-based browsers, particularly Chrome. The company is now removing flags responsible for Manifest V2-based extensions (uBlock Origin is one of the most popular). However, some browsers resist this change, and Opera issued a statement that it will allow users to continue using MV2 extensions for as long as possible. While Microsoft is still not ready to share new details about MV2 extensions in Microsoft Edge, the company shared important details about the way it will be updating the browser going forward. Now, Microsoft wants to update Edge every two weeks across all platforms instead of the current four-week schedule (only the Extended Stable is exempt from this change). This week, Microsoft confirmed a useful new Teams feature that is coming to the messenger soon. It also detailed all the improvements that made the platform better for users in 2026. However, not all changes are great, as the company is moving ahead with the check-in feature, which many believe will lead to employee monitoring. PowerToys received a feature update this week.

The game turned out to be a satisfying spy adventure in the James Bond universe with great gunplay and combat, impressive crowds, over-the-top action sequences, and more.

    • Microsoft Flight Simulator's City Update 15 enhances Midwest cities

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft Flight Simulator's City Update 15 enhances Midwest cities by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The third major city update of the year has landed for the original Microsoft Flight Simulator and the 2024 release. The latest drop is upgrading the visuals and regional accuracy of three metropolitan regions in the American states of Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The 15th city update is adding eight new areas of interest that have been enhanced with high-fidelity TIN (triangulated irregular network) surface texturing in the mentioned regions. The free update highlights Chicago, Elgin, Cicero, and Arlington Heights in Illinois, as well as Minneapolis, St. Paul, Bloomington, Duluth, Brooklyn Park, Woodbury, Lakeville, Plymouth, and Blaine in Minnesota. In Wisconsin, the development has also upgraded the lands and buildings of Milwaukee, Madison, and Racine.

The Flight Sim development team's 40-minute keynote at the event can be watched here. At the same time, Microsoft is bringing the 6-seat, single-engine, multi-use light civil airplane Piper M600 into the game as a part of its Expert Series 2 program. This premium plane can be purchased from the in-game marketplace for $24.99.

Xbox One, mobile, and PC players can also jump into the new content using Xbox Cloud Gaming if they have a Game Pass Ultimate membership. The game must be updated to the latest version to download this free update from the in-game marketplace.
    • Five things you might have missed during Apple's WWDC 2026

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Five things you might have missed during Apple's WWDC 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Image: Apple Apple's annual developer event, WWDC 2026, happened from June 8 through June 12. We have already covered several new features and updates that the iPhone maker unveiled during the official keynote. Apple took Google's help and finally announced the upgraded Siri AI personal assistant, which now comes with an app. Moreover, a truckload of Apple Intelligence features took the center stage. That said, this year's WWDC is a bit different, and you might have noticed or missed the following stuff: Apple's ongoing unification of platforms Image: Apple One thing Apple is widely known for is its seamless hardware-software ecosystem. The company added a new chapter in 2020, when it began the Apple Silicon transition and launched macOS 11 Big Sur with native ARM support. Some major changes happened last year as well, when Apple renamed all of its operating systems to version 26 and introduced the Liquid Glass design language. Until WWDC 2025, Apple keynotes had dedicated segments for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and other operating systems, in which the company discussed each in detail. The WWDC 2026 keynote was different, and Apple allotted most of the screen time to Apple Intelligence and Siri. It didn't even publish separate press releases on its website for different operating systems. While it might seem surprising at first, it shows how Apple plans to move forward with its software ecosystem. Be it the Liquid Glass changes, child safety updates, or other features, they are mostly rolling out across multiple platforms. In other words, Apple is slowly blurring the line between its operating systems and achieving feature parity wherever possible. It's easy to rule out that someone in Apple's marketing team forgot to press the publish button. Everything is a calculated move when it comes to a company like Apple. Putting Apple Intelligence left, right, and center hints that the OS itself is no longer the product anymore. It's Siri, not Pepsi Time and again, various Apple products have been compared to unrelated things and turned into meme material. You might have heard about the "cheese grater" Mac Pro or the "trash can" Mac Pro, to name a few. It's Siri's turn this time. The upgraded AI assistant got a fresh logo, and people have started comparing it with Pepsi. There are other contenders, such as the Sony Ericsson logo and the Yin and Yang symbol. Shot on iPhone. Edited on Mac Image: Apple Apple has been putting the iPhone's camera muscles to the test on various occasions. Even NASA astronauts took it to Space earlier this year and captured some out-of-this-world photos. Recently, Apple TV streamed the first major live sporting event shot entirely on iPhone 17 Pro: an MLS match featuring the LA Galaxy vs. the Houston Dynamo FC. The 'Pro' iPhone has also been used to shoot Apple events in recent years. It's "Scary Fast" Mac event in 2023 was among the earliest attempts, and the tradition trickled down to the WWDC 2026 keynote, which ended with the tag line "Shot on iPhone. Edited on Mac." It's unsurprising to see Apple flexing the camera capabilities of its Pro models, especially when it has been baking professional-grade features, including ProRes RAW and Genlock. Hints for the foldable Apple has been sitting on the foldable iPhone for so long. There is still confusion over when the company will make it official. A recent report said that the iPhone Fold might get delayed as Apple is struggling to perfect its hinge mechanism. But Apple has been dropping hints here and there. A developer dug into the iOS 27 beta code and found internal references about device folding states. As verified by Macworld, the code includes references to "foldState" and "angleDegrees" internal status values, which are apparently designed to tell apps if a device is folded and at what angle. As of now, no other Apple device uses these states. The publication also found internal code suggesting Apple has been testing a device with both Touch ID and Dynamic Island, a combo that doesn't exist today. Last event as Apple CEO Image: Apple Tim Cook's bond with Apple is now almost three decades old, having started in 1998 as the SVP of Worldwide Operations. Back in August 2011, Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple CEO months before his passing, and Cook took charge. Now, the baton has been passed to the hardware chief, John Ternus, who will take over the role on September 1. WWDC 2026 is the last major Apple Event for Tim Cook as CEO. We have seen so much during Cook's tenure over the years, much of which defines Apple as we know it today. From new hardware product lines like Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple Vision Pro, and Apple Silicon, to boosting Apple's services business with Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Pay, Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness+, Apple Care One, and more. That said, the first developer betas for Apple's latest operating systems are now available. You can check if your device is supported on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, watchOS 27, and other platforms. What's your favorite feature that Apple announced this year at WWDC 2026? Tell us in the comments.
