    I have a M3 DS simply adaptor, it came with a 2gb sd card, since i have filled it to capacity with downloads, i ordered a larger micro sd hc 4 gb card. When i put on the firmware, it wont load onto the menu screen and just says loading on the top screen, however on the 2gb sd card it works perfectly. i have tried different version of the firmware but to no avail, i have formatted the card to fat32. does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    I believe the M3 does not support SDHC cards.

    So, you just bought the wrong card. Get a CycloDS, they seem to be the best.

    No it does not, it's just like the R4 in compatibility with MicroSDs and SDHC cards. Refund it and get a Non-SDHC card if you wish to keep your M3 Simply or just refund it altogether.

    i beg to differ, if you check m3's web site it state's that the m2ds real accepts 4gb sdhc cards.
    I have a sandisk 4gb and it works fine, as far as i know this is the only make compatible over 2gb.

    sorry,
    just read it again the m3 ds simply won't take any card over 2gb.
    get a m3 ds real if you want to use a high capacity card ;D

    Not quite. the M3 simply/R4 WILL take cards over 2Gb providing they are NOT SDHC cards. Non-SDHC cards over 2GB do exist, they are just very hard to find. Also, the CycloDS Evolution, among others, also supports SDHC cards.
