This is obviously your problem. You need the GBA expansion card in slot-2, not the RAM expansion card. BTW, M3 Real has pretty much gone rock bottom...kind of a waste to buy a fallen productbinya said:

I say it has gone rock bottom because it used to be the best flashcard around, and now, not only did it take them forever to release a firmware, it doesn't fix what it claim it has. If that's not going rock bottom, then I dunno what is.
I was going to disagree, but then I got my Supercard onei and would sadly have to agree with you, M3 is slowly turning into the R4.justinefremlouw said:
Not to say it wasn't and isn't a good card, but the firmwares have become dated and bloated, just look at Touchpod, it's slow and ugly.
Most of their updates now are bugged and contently need to be repaired and half the time it's not them who does it, but what makes the updates worse is they don't fix anything or they only half ass it and the update kinda gets the job done. Looking at Sakura, since the Sakura updates wrap around the Touchpod updates it has all the same compatibly issues and really sakura isn't that great either, compared to most firmwares out there it doesn't even come close to the amount of features and flexibility they have. Now this is coming from someone who has owned an M3 Real for at least 2 years give or take, I got it near the end of 10th grade and I am almost out of 12th. And now I am seeing all the bugs, but this only comparing it to a newer card.
@Pink Cat Boy
what features does the supercard onei have that M3 Real/Zero doesnt, i mean i was thinking about maybe getting another flash card soon, dont get me wrong i have seen videos,
but well they are sort of hard to watch when its some 12 year old kid trying to sound pseudo-intelligent, while trying to keep his glasses straight, and also keeping the camera on pivot while lastly fiddling the DS
and its not the same as owning the product as updates come and address shortcomings present at the time of the video shoot.
end statement/question
but i would have to disagree with updates not being able to match up, sure they may not be first but they do get the job done.
i also do think that expectations are somewhat unrealistic, the specs for the DS arent all that great and i think that for what they are working with they did a great job
sure as heck beats the m3 lite days, by far.
i mean the m3 only plays music, movies, ebooks and offers for you to read strategy guides, while you real time save
all features that if you were just playing regular games, would not be able to do.
as far as boot engine 2.1, kaura, yeah they are taking a long time for that, but the concept looks pretty sweet, i just recently stopped using the beta in favor of not having compatibility issues with newer games.
and R4 status...wow, that is bleak, but people still use R4 religiously and it is the name that they most commonly refer when the topic is flash cards, people are like its an R4 thingy
even though officially their firmware doesnt go beyond 1.18, people try to play newer games and patiently wait for cracks, patches and hex fixes
all in all, what more can they do with the ds, even others that do do something else, only slighlty improve on what already is...

from my standpoint, Acekard is currently at the top, with AKAIO firmware...It seems letting unofficial firmware do the job is better than letting the actual company handle it XD ofc, we don't know when support will die for it, I didn't expect M3 Real to have gone so bad within the short time since I bought it.

Right now the M3 is atleast #2 if not #3.
People say it hit rock bottom because they released one slow/bad firmware?
You guys sound really spoiled right now. When the R4 hit rock bottom they got NO updates and only had one other firmware to rely on. The M3 on the other had has 5 different firmwares it can run (all of which the M3 has to maintain).
I'd say give the M3 team a little more time before saying it's hit rock bottom. It's definetly not as good as it has been, but there's multiple factors that play into maintaining a flashcart.
For all you guys know they could be working on a new flashcart with a built in processor.

Think about it, the main purpose in flashcards are 100% rate, so firmware updates that are not only fast, but also flawless makes up pretty much the entire brand. After all, without the firmwares, what's the difference between R4 and an M3, or any other flashcart on the market for that matter. Don't we rate flashcards on how good the firmware looks and more importantly, the functionality of it? How can M3 still be #2 or 3?
R4 is not rock bottom, when a flashcard no longer gets updates, it is effectively dead. There is a difference between dead and rock bottom...Isn't having multiple different firmwares one of the major flaws of M3, especially when all of them are just as useless as the other? What's the point of multiple firmware of none of them can play games properly? Isn't the fact that M3 has to deal with multiple firmwares makes them release updates slower?
Let's not forget this fact: Current M3/Sakura firmware still hasn't fixed HGSS or SMT freeze problems...In fact, they don't even acknowledge the latter problem.

You seem to have this faded view of how others teams work. Not all teams are like AKAIO and update 24/7 and within hours of problems. The M3 Team's recent slow update was probably the slowest time it's ever taken to update for a new game.
Plus, like I've said before, with the SCDS2 coming out they're going to have big competition. They haven't had a new cart with fresh new features in a while. Who knows? Maybe they're making their own iPlayer based flashcart.
Welcome to 2010. BTW, I said the MAIN use purpose of flashcards...I realize there are other factors, but let's face it, no matter how good it looks, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work...
Releasing firmware almost a week after other competitor's release theirs is bad enough...yes, technically, it CAN get worse, but any worse than that, it might as well be dead. What's the point of maintaining multiple firmware if it clouds the true purpose of these flashcards? I stated my opinion regarding Acekard precisely because I think official firmwares, whether it be M3 or Acekard, are equally bad. I did say that "It seems letting unofficial firmware do the job is better than letting the actual company handle it" ya know?
Well, unfortunately, you're not the only M3 user, so even if you don't get problems doesn't mean that others that do can "shove it". And yes, they released firmware update for HGSS (twice), and neither of them has fixed the problem. As of right now, the current problem still gives most people trouble in HGSS and SMT.
That's kinda like my point? When you sell the same product on the same price level (or even pricier) than your competitors, you expect the product to work just as good, or even better. The fact that M3 can't keep up like other teams mean it's falling behind. And BTW, I'm saying it's fallen not only because this recent one slow update, but the fact that even with the much delayed update, the firmware doesn't fix the problem, when other cards that have released firmware much earlier, WORK.
...And your point? a new flashcard is just about the worst solution to their problems. It's like, "hey, our old flashcard doesn't hold up against competitors, so let's make a new one and screw over all our customers"

Many people have called me biased for only owning the M3, and they say I'm an M3 fanboy and I love the M3. I don't. I have suggested the acekard2i to many people instead of the M3i Zero. The M3i Zero is a good cart, and it has it's perks over others carts it's just not the best cart.
Me only having the M3i Zero has allowed be much more tolerant to slow updates or small bugs. Most people freak the fuck out whenever 1 game doesn't work, I say "Do you have any idea how hard it is to make a fix for a game, or even maintain a flashcart? Yah it's not rainbows and butterflies."
If you really think the M3 is dead then throw yours away and get an acekard already and please stop complaining, some of us still enjoy our current flashcarts.
That's great that you have so much patience, but you're obviously missing the point. The point is not that "we should be patient even though we paid more than the acekard guy", but simply that "multiple products competing on the same market should strive to be on top, and releasing an update a long time behind everyone else is not an example of that"
If you notice, the first time I mentioned that M3 is going rock bottom is when I advised someone else to get another card, because like you said, "it's just not the best cart." Then, you demanded an explanation of me, and that's what I've been doing this entire time. Forming a set of explanations of why it has gone rock bottom. Notice that I never just blatantly complained for no reason, you were the one asking me to explain, I simply did.
Also notice that NO ONE here asked you or any other M3 supporters to stop supporting them. Everyone who posted after me, including myself, simply stated their opinions on the cart. No one asked anyone else to stop using them. What was said, and remain to be said, is true, and just because it may not fall in the favor of the M3 team should mean that it can't be said.
Finally, I'll state this since it seems you think I'm some kind of M3 flamer. I am not simply criticizing M3, I'm criticizing pretty much every official firmware makers. I recommended Acekard simply because it has worked well with an unofficial firmware, and I think that doing so is a much better approach than letting the flashcart companies handle them. Because like you said yourself, even Acekard's official firmware is outdated. Hence my point when I said, "It seems letting unofficial firmware do the job is better than letting the actual company handle it".

I have been a long time g6/m3 user. I had a g6 lite first, then a m3 simply, and then a m3 real. I've used my m3 real for a very long time. Since it was released basically, and I've always sworn by m3 products. Until recently. Now I'm not trying to knock M3 at all, they have served me well for years, but the fact of the matter is that they have stopped "serving me well" and that is why I ordered an acekard2i a few days ago. Now when (or if) they ever release a single update that actually works as it should then I may go back, but for now I will put the m3 in a drawer somewhere and move on to a cart that works.

So you left your M3 for one lousy update? You know not all of AKAIO's updates are ginger and dandelions :\
As a side note, if you want to continue this let's continue it somewhere else. I don't know if Densetsu would appreciate this if it went on much longer.

Yes. Since the HGSS games came out a month ago, and were actually around earlier than that, and they still haven't made an update with a fix.
I think there latest update is there last one. Even there simplypluseasy.com website went down...
