Many of us have a supercard or an m3 or some other device that allows us to play nds roms and some of us started with the max media dock/player. I was visiting some of the other sites i used to go to and i found something that made me go in the closet and get my old MMD.

This is from Maxconsole  forums:

What is the Max Crass Method
The Max Crass Method (MCM) allows the Max Media Dock to play much more ROMs than before. Until now the MMD could only play about 3 out of 10 ROMs. With the MCM it can now play about 8 out of 10. Some tested ROMs that work are Mario Hoops 3-on-3, Final fantasy 3, and Castlevania Portrait of Ruin. The MCM has another function as well. It completley eliminates the need of Donor Cards. I believe that this new method is a huge step for the Max Media Dock, and will help out many people.

It would probably be good to link to the files that allow for the method.  The quote tells us that the method works but doesn't tell us what it is or how to use it.

From what I can tell, it involves replacing the ARM7 binary inside the rom with one from a different game, a method first used to get games like the English version of Sim City working on some devices.  For some reason, this makes games work without the need for a donor cart, which would be useful for MMD owners.

I wonder if this new method involves patching with Max Overload as well.  If so, then perhaps it could also be used on the GBAMP using the hacked version of Max Overload made for the GBAMP.
