    Hi!
    It may be a bit outdated, but I'm still using my M3DS Real on my DS (original version, bought in 2005).
    I am able to play ROMs of all the DS Pokémon games, Ace Attorney and Professor Layton: The Curios Village, Pandora's Box and The Last Specter, but Professor Layton and the Unwound Future just won't work. As soon as I start a ROM of the game in English I get a black screen, even though I've activated the cheat that is supposed to remove the piracy block.
    This what the cheat looks like in cheat_EN:
    <Anti Piracy Fix for Clean Rom, thanks dsrules:>
    [Game Enabler Code]
    020FB3A8 4EDDEB13
    020FB3AC 63ADCFE9
    020FB3B0 F9F2E5C6
    020FB3B4 3FA0B50A
    020FB3B8 208070B0
    020FB3BC 682A4155.

    I have tried these ROMs:
    roms43[DOT]com/download/15288/Professor_Layton_and_the_Unwound_Future/#.U6GWQrFRIdA
    ndsr[DOT]net/nds-roms/5200-professor-layton-and-the-unwound-future-usa.html
    ndsr[DOT]net/nds-roms/5294-professor-layton-and-the-lost-future-eur.html

    As for my software, I have "M3 Manager V4.9a X version" according to the information screen.

    I've also checked this thread for help: http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=47390.0
    But nothing was of use, and a link that helped someone else has been taken down (since it's from 2010).

    Does anyone know something that could help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    I think M3Real / M3 DS Real are same..., If so you could try RetroGameFan firmware

    http://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/

    Firmware, http://www.mediafire.com/folder/oywddj54xzzpg/RetroGameFan

    Should be an M3 folder in there.

    Check Working Cart List (WIP) - M3/i/Zero first .

    "Just backup you're original firmware first incase ." to replace if not work.

    All best.
