          do not buy! 05/09/2011
    By Kevin
    i recently got my m3i zero card and have been trying for about 2 weeks for it to work! I download all the correct stuff needed for it to work. And because you have to flash it before using thats the problem. When i plug the card in, the red light doesn't even come on. Therefore i will be returning the product and hopefully recieve a refund or i might try another card.

    [ Reply by xpertron.co.uk: Normally, the red LED light does not turn up because it is not plugged in properly. The cable is a very thin and small. Please make sure that the product cable is inserted in correctly. ]

    received the package the 3rd day after placing my order, and the product is carefully packaged with high quality buuble envelop

    I used to have a M3 REAL for my DSL, now I have this GMP-Z003 for my DSi, working like a charm, especially with SAKURA + touchpad dual system.

    The DRAWBACK is that when inserting a micro sd card, you have to push really hard to have the embedded SPRING MECHANIC work, but the spring is way too fragile, which means it might break anytime depends on your luck, so, do it gentlely

    good card, easy to install.but software could be better.You can play any nds homebrew game if downloaded properly.
    xpertron were very slow on delivery...if it is going to take a little time, why dont they tell their customers...most dont mind the wait.

    By Stewart
    Well, I'm really impressed by this card. It's a bit tricky to setup but once you figure that out then it really is a great card to own.
    A lack of instructions in the box was my stumbling point, but a quick search on google and I had the information I needed. Two downloads later, a firmware flash and I was away.

    Latest firmware and software can be downloaded here: http://www.handheldsources.com/M3DS/Download_M3DSR.html

    The Sakura interface is wonderful.

    Finally, M3i card is working well with my DSi. Just it is a bit tricky to find the right / actual firmware and OS for it. (there are more versions on web) Be carefull when manipulating with firmware update power cable, as it is subtle. Delivery with Europe Registered Airmail took 11 days in my case - longer than I expected but still acceptable.

    Although i am sure i will get thiis product to work it is not very easty to get to this point. the firmware is not easy to find and the even the one i found does not play my movies. does not come with any instructions and shipping was very slow.

    Styre: Firmware 1.4.3 05/09/2011
    I too have a DSi XL with firmware 1.4.3E. I tried the method listed in link in the latest answer in the discussion section of the M3i Zero page and constantly get stuck at step 10. It always comes up with the 'DLDI Compatible' loading screen but within 2 seconds the screen goes blank and the system seems to freeze. After restarting the DS the system doesn't seem to recognise the card so I need to flash it over again many times with the same thing happening each time. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
      Dear Styre,

      Please follow the setup guide here to upgrade your M3i Zero to be compatible with DSi XL v1.4.3.

      Dear Du Preez,

    Smith: m3i zero 21/07/2011
    have just got this card from you and am trying to get it to work on my sons dsi xl ver 1.4.3e i have downlaoded and installed your lastest patches m3i card led flashed when i'd done this but when i put it in his dsi xl it tells me there is no game card inserted in game slot please can you help
      Dear Smith,

      All M3i come without the firmware flashed and can't be detected by the DSi. ''No game card inserted'' message is an indicator that the card can't be detected yet as the compatible firmware has not been flashed properly.

      In the case of  1.4.3 firmware fix, the M3i Zero is yet to release the 1.4.3 firmware patch. Hence, the M3i does not support the DSi with the firmware 1.4.3 yet. However, we expect the M3 team to release the patch in the very near future.

    Homewood: M3i zero card not working 18/12/2010
    Hi, I have followed the instructions but the card will not update the firmware, the red light stays on indicating an error or incorrect dat file. I downloaded both system and dat files from the link you provide. I have checked the micro sd card in another M3i zero that we have (not the GMP-Z003) and it works fine but will not work in the new card just supplied.
      Dear Homewood,

      M3i Zero team releases the new cartridge M3i Zero with a slightly different build as compared to the old M3i Zero. Some users have reported that they have the problem flashing the M3i Zero: LED Light Doesn't Blink and Stays On While Flashing

      According to the M3i Zero team, the solution for the problem is to make sure that the microSD memory card is fully formated using FAT 32 format.

      However, some users have reported that the following may also solve the problem:: try holding the connection cable at different angles….it's pretty fidgety that one,needs an exact angle or else it won't work.

M3i Zero Firmware Fix for 3DS 3.0.0-5 & DSi / DSi XL 1.4.3 Via Firmware USB

Note:

  • All machines are upgradeable even your machine has already been in firmware 3.0.0-5 or 1.4.3. And no need to find another bootable machine to perform the upgrading process. 
  • Risk-free: flash card will not be damaged even the upgrading process is not successfully.
     
  1. Unzip the firmware ( F_CORE_v3.0.5 ) and driver ( G6&M3DS-R_M74) downloaded (using Winrar) on your PC
    • Winrar can be downloaded from www.download.com by searching for Winrar at the Search.
    • Unzip the files mentioned under the Software Preparation above, you will have one folder and one file as follows.
      F_CORE_v3.0.5 G6&M3DS-R_M74
      F_CORE.DAT SYSTEM

       

  2. Select all the two unzipped files and copy them to the root of microSD / SDHC memory card after you have formatted the micro SD / SDHC card in FAT32.


     

  3. Insert Micro SD/SDHC card into the M3i
     
     
  4. Put the upgrade cable into the M3i. The shinny metal contact of the cable, i.e. the side with the ARROW on it, should face the BACK of the M3i.

     
  5. Plug the USB port into your PC, or anything that has a port that will give it power
     
  6. The M3i should blink for about 15~20 seconds. After it stops blinking, your M3i is flashed.

     

     

     

     

     Note:

    LED blinks - in progress
    LED lights off - no power or incomplete
    LED lights on - error (no "f_core.dat" or wrong file etc.)
     

  7. If the LED light turns RED (without flashing), it means the update is unsuccessful. Please repeat the whole process from step 1 after you have checked the Possible Reasons For Upgrade Failure listed belowfollowing:
    • Put the upgrade file into sub directory, not the root directory, and the firmware writer can not detect the upgrade file. 
    • USB port can not provide a stable power, please change a stable USB port.
    • There are too many disk defragments in the MicroSD memory card, which needs to be formatted before upgrade. For memory card formatting, please refer to the guide under Format a MicroSD / SDHC card above.
