Where can I download it? I should be getting it by monday or tuesday, and I wanna know where I can download the firmware to use it. After all, what's the point of having it when you can't use it? lol. Well, anyways, can someone provide me a link to the firmware download? Very much appreciated if you do. ^^

Doesn't it come with a CD, I don't think there has been an update yet.

Yes, It comes with the mini CD that has the most current shell folder and other programs. It also comes with a TF card reader and a keychain carrying case.

So far there has been no updates for the M3 Simply... but I heard currently it is the equivelant of the R4's 1.03.

OK, i downloaded this .rar file. Which folder or which file do I drag to my microSD? I'm very confused.

From the manual that's on the CD:

QuoteM3DS Simply Operation Instruction

1) Hardware installation
-Insert TF/SD card into USB2.0 MicroSD card reader/writer, format your TF/SD card as FAT format by Use the Computer;

-When appears “a removable disk added”, hardware has been installed;

-TF card (MicroSD) is used to save the games and data, once your micro SD card is formatted correctly, you will see "Free Space = *" in the right hand pane. Then you can begin copying ROMs over.

2) Place the LOADER:
Copy all the files at ‘system\english\skin-*’ on the disk to the root directory of the TF card (including _DS_MENU.DAT ; _DSMSHL.NDS ; skin-*.jpg and Shell folder); Copy the downloaded game (.nds) or the DIY-program to the TF card (Folder can be created as you need).


3) Unload TF card
-After finishing ROM added, then right click the removable disk icon on the right down corner of the screen, draw out the TF card from card reader/writer

4) Insert TF/SD card into the M3 DS Simply

-Insert the TF card with ROM into M3DS Simply, and then insert M3DS Simply into the Slot-1 while NDS/NDSL is power off. It will enter the new system of M3DS Simply when users start it next time.

-When NDS/NDSL is power on, the M3DS Simply is booted, a small loading screen will appear and then you'll be taken to the main GUI within seconds. You can select ROMs to run by the navigation keys or touch screen, press "A" button to enter the corresponding functions.

It came out already. 1.01. We are waiting for 1.02... which should match R4's 1.06 beta.

So the 1.01 is for sure the match to 1.05 cause if so then i'm just fine with it. I'll stay away from any beta firmwares these days after that whole SC 1.63b incident.
