You also need an original DS game for the Passme to take the ID from.

HEY GUYS, has anyone bought something from linker4u.com or superufo.com? I'm interested to buy a M3 from them but I'm not sure if they're reliable. Some help?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's some different ways to do it. The usual way involves a GBA flash cart (M3, EZFlash...) with DS roms and a PassMe/FlashMe/WiFiMe to bypass the protection and load the roms from the flash cart.


I'm not exactly sure of how the MagicKey works, but it seems to eliminate the need for the SuperCard.

(The Passcard looks like it works on all DS's, but I'm not sure if it works with the SuperCard)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's real easy.

The M3 is the STORAGE. It goes on the GBA slot. You load the DS roms on it. You don't bypass stuff with it alone. It's like a memory card with the roms, but it can come bundled with a PassMe2 if the store you bought it from has that option. Using the Supercard is the same thing, think of it as another brand of the M3.
There's two kinds of STORAGE carts.

Memory card adaptors: M3 and SuperCard. They are memory card adaptors that fit like game carts, but use the memory card's space for storing stuff. SD, CF and MiniSD models available.

Game Carts/Flash Carts: NeoFlash, G6... Those are game carts like the ones used in GBA games. They work in a similar fashion to memory card adaptors, but these have the memory built into them instead of using third party memory cards. The only changes between them are the ammount of storage and compatibility with the bypassers.



The PassKey (or PassMe or MagicKey or whatever the hell you choose) is the bypasser. You use it for the DS to go apeshit and think whatever DS roms you got on the M3 are real DS games, and thus playable.

The MagicKey2 is just another kind of PassMe, but it serves the same function. Using carts like the NeoFlash is recommended on this one.

So the setup goes like this:

M3 + SD card + PassKey = DS/GBA games
M3 + SD card = GBA games only

If you need some good help, ask pink. He knows lots about this stuff.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think I'll wait around for the MK4-SD version.
The M3 supports RTC saves, and from what I gather from the M3 forums, it has a SRAM battery, as well.

Newbie question: Does the M3 work on GBA? I'm not sure of this

But you'd still need a GBA cart (Like NeoFlash) for it to get DS roms from, right?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Nobody answered my question

Does the M3 work on a GBA?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

From what I gather, using the PassCard or the SuperKey allows you to play online, because those don't change anything of the DS kernel. PassKey 1 and 2 do, though, so you won't be able to play online.

Not sure if multiplayer works anyway.

FELIPE NO

I want to play DS ROMS on my DS (Version 2), and I don't want this passkey or whatever thing sticking obtrusively out of my DS all the time, which means I want to flash the firmware..?

Basically, what are all the names of the equipment I'll need to flash and them play ROMS on my DS? I'm looking for the most compatible, big card by the way. Oh, and how do you transfer the ROMS from your computer to the DS?

/n00bness
Use a PassCard, it has the same size as a DS card and it's compatible with all DS models.

That, or a SuperKey. Haven't tested either yet (mainly because of a fun lack of DS hardware to try them out with) but I've heard good things about 'em.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
