M3DSreal, great for playing game ROMs, music and movies

 

A few weeks ago I bought a little gadget called M3DSreal to use with the great Nintendo DS.

M3 DS Real is cartridge that fits into the slot where you games normally plug in to your Nintendo DS. It is used for those who want to download homemade games, play game ROMs, watch movies and listen music MP3s. You can even have game cheats like extra lives etc.!

What a great little gadget this is. There are a few makes of these ROM cartridge players and they all do a similar job but not quite the same or as good, R4DS and CycloDS are a couple of them. The ACEcard is very good as well.

Some features of the M3DSreal 

all positives, no negatives

The build quality of the M3 DS real (M3DSreal) is really good. The small clips hold the two sides together really well, and the M3DSreal feels very solid and it doesn't bend at all.
Unlike real Nintendo games, there aren't the plastic dividers between the contacts on the bottom of the card, but this doesn't cause any problems at all. All in all, the build quality of the M3DSReal is fantastic.

+ 100% NDS compatibility
+ Perfect GBA compatiblity
+ Extra features like cheats and RTS when playing GBA
+ Integrated GBA loader, no external software needed
+ Good skinning engine
+ Media player and PDS software included
+ No patching software needed for anything
+ Great build quality
+ Fast, frequent updates

Speaking of Updates - the m3DS real has recently had an update. Check this post M3DSreal Update for more details. It seems to be at v3.7e now.

M3Dsreal uses microSD memory cards 

so you have unlimited storage - store every DS game

The M3 DS Real can use either standard microSD (thats what I use) cards and microSDHC cards. Standard microSD cards go to 2GB in size and the newer microSDHC cards can go to 32GB but at the moment you can only buy 8GB.
You can buy these memory cards cheap from Amazon or local electronic stores.

I use a Kingston 2GB card and it has plenty of storage for me. With the M3DS real , I put all of my sons DS games (at least a dozen) on it plus a few movies and a CD full of music - now he has all of this on one cartridge rather than having to carry around multiple game cartridges that could be lost easily.

The M3 DSreal can have PDA functions, if you want, to store phone numbers, have a calculator. as well as and ebook reader . I use the ebook reader to read game walkthroughs to help me get through some (I need help with games).

The M3Dsreal needs a microSD card 

2GB holds around 20 games

Hi when I open M3DS Real and click on the PDA icon I get M3DS no find pda file copy pda to moveable disk. I have no idea why this is happening as I installed PDADS and checked this folder in the system root directory and it looks ok, are there any reliable PDA programs i can use for the ds lite thanks Tim

DSM or DPG games need to go directly on the mem card not in any folder.
A good convertor is found here http://goldcoaster.wordpress.com/2008/01/11/a-nintendo-ds-gadget-m3dsreal/
