Hi they both do the same job some people on here say you can no longer get the r4 but i bought one from the local pc 3 weeks ago. My daughter had a ds firecard before that but the r4 offer's a better menu system plus it allows you to run cheats. have a look on amazon a few for sale on there as i can see you are in liverpool there must be a local pc fair run there pop down there im sure you will pick one up i paid £36.00 pounds including a 2 gig card pm me i will send you a word doc with loads of info about the cards and how to use will need your email .

The card should have come with a cd witch will have the software on there which you need to put onto the micro sd card and on the cd it will have the instructions on how to do this. And to put the games onto the micro sd card itis just drag and drop the NDS file.

Should you not have the software just google it

I wish it was that easy, I have been trying for the last 2 days prowling google & various forums
1) it (M3 DS Real) never came with a disc,however on a peice of paper it states please downlod and install System V3.0 (or above). have looked at sites but get lost with so many differant downloads etc, according to the copy about the product on Amazon, it staes "No drivers requied"
2) other people on other forum's have siad they did not need driver/software for theres to work.
3)I have downloaded some firmware and can get games on the DS screen, however can not play them, only get a buzzing niose
4) when i go to the site (www.m3adapter.com) to download software most of the downloads don't work.
5) I get a mesage on the ds screen stating, getting a message on the DS Screen, Copy [PDA] to movable disk

are you confused yet cos i am baffled

any help both me and my daughter would be very grateful

I bought a couple of DSTTs from amazon 3rd party supplers - cost £20 each and they support the micros SD hc cards as well. Work a treat. Cant go wong with them.
