A new update for the M3 DS Real has been released recently.
It looks like it is only a few bug fixes, nothing major. An update from the M3 Group to get towards 100% compatibility even though I have never had any compatibility problems. This update fixes a few problems with certain games.
To download, see Hand Held Resources . Once you have it, just unzip and put those files on your M3DSreal microSD card and overwrite any files it asks.
Hi goldcoaster, I have been reading all the comments on your site but am still struggling. I bought an R4DS for my kids at xmas and they loved it but argued over just who was going to use it so I have just bought an M3DSREAL. My problem is that I cannot get the thing to work I have downloaded all sorts of files that I thought were the right ones but it came with no instructions and 4hrs later my mind has blown! Please could you let me know exactly which files I need to download to get it to work. I have been on handheldsources and there are so many downloads its a bit confusing for a novice. All I get when I turn the nintendo on with the m3ds inserted is the black screen with the M3DS logo in the bottom corner and nothing else!! Anything you can say would be massively helpful. Thanks x
OK, I assume you do have a microSD card and the M3DSreal. Put the MicroSD in you pc and put this file on it ( http://down.gbalpha.com/GBalpha/Softwares/G6&M3DS-R_E26.zip ) – you need to unzip and put the unzipped files on the memory card. You don’t need or want anything else.
Plug it into the M3DSreal and now the M3 DS real in the nintendo DS – it should now work BUT you wont have any games etc on it – it should be just the 7 icons.
For your games you need to make a folder on the memory card called NDS and put the games in there. Music and movies just go straight on the mem card not in any folders.
I hope this helps you.
Maybe format you mem card first before you start but I never have had to.
Goldcoaster, you’re amazing!! I had the same problem as Toni described and had gave up on the card after so many attempts to get it to work. I came upon your instructions and it worked wonderfully. Thank you so much.
I am glad to help out with your m3 ds real. Thanks for the kind comments.

Hi Goldcoaster,
I downloaded the latest system version: System V3.9b X , now I have a game that is still not running: 0190 – Nancy Drew – Message in a Haunted Mansion (U), its giving error code: DLDI compatible, and down below the screen stays :Loading….
Is there a new update coming what will solve this, or what else do I need to download to run thisg ame.
thank you
Maybe try a different version of the game or a different download.
Hi,
My daughter has upgraded to the DSi and the M3 DS Real adaptor isn’t compatable. I’ve searched the net and there is a compatable adaptor, the R4i. Does M3 Real have one? and do I need to download software onto the adaptor for the DSi like the system folder that was on her M3 DS Real adaptor.
Regards
Dave
Yes, you just put the R4i system files on the card just the same as the M3 DS Real.
There is also the Acecard DSi that works with the DSi as well.
i find it a long time!!!!thank you
