    I got this for my Ninetendo DS Lite. I am very new to this and i dont understand much of the abbreviations or technology at all. I downloaded the software onto the ds using a T-Flash Card Reader and my micro SD Card. I downloaded five games here yesterday evening. They are showing up on my ds lite now not under games but when i go into the icon for my music and then into my disk and theyre there but when i highlight them to select them nothing happens.

    I really need help with this. I never was on this site before either so i dont even know if im posting in the right place. I have spend the last few days constantly trying to get these games to work on my nintendo ds lite.

    Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

    did you extract them from the rar files using winrar?

    you didn't download WinRar, and you just put the file you downloaded (Without opening it) and dragged in into teh San disk

    Am I Right?

    Basically, you go download WinRAR to open it, and take the .nds file and drag it in that SD

    or you lack the firmware...Anandjones explains this a whole lot better :p

    i just followed the instructions to download the "firmware" they called it. this is what it told me to do:

    Take the system folder from the CD or (from http://www.m3adapter.com/) and drag it on the card. The system folder contains all the files needed for running of the card. Create a folder named "NDS" on the root of your m3 DS Real, this is where your games will be stored. Slot 2 device are not requried in order to run the M3 DS Real.

    I done all the above.

    The firmware version i have is M3 Manager V3.6 X version

    Does this make any sense?

    i feel ive tried so much the last few days that i dont know what ive done but thats basically it.

    All nds ROMS have the .nds extension, so once you extract them and you have your .nds files, you drag them into your "NDS" folder (if it needs to be in that folder) and it should appear as a game. If you can browse files etc. on your M3 Real, you placed the firmware on correctly, so that shouldn't be the problem, unless you can't seem to properly play a game.

    if you don't want to use WinRAR because it isn't free (or the "free" ones you get are all visuses), then try 7zip.

    http://www.7-zip.org/

    it's open source and freeware.
