Hey, welcome to our thread on how to setup and use your R4DS or M3 Simply on your Nintendo DS gaming system
We have created several videos for you to download depending on what you want and need to do.
URGENT NOTICE
As many know, there are huge amounts of FAKE R4DS cartridges as they are the most popular DS Slot 1 cartridge. Here is a very quick and simple way to determine if you have a fake one or not. Just look below;
As you can see in the image, they look slightly similar but aren't completely identical. So be careful.
Updates:
Added new links for the Basics section, these new videos use audio instead of me on Editpad

How to add custom cheats by Deed has been uploaded 
Note: Neither of us own a M3, but they are
very similar pieces of equipment so these tutorials should still work for you
Well lets get started with the
basics.
Tutorials with red titles are by me, Streety. Tutorials with Green titles are done by Deed
How to install Firmware:
Yes, the very beginning on your R4 or M3 adventure. Installing the firmware is completely necessary if you actually plan on using it. The latest firmware for the R4DS is 1.18. As for the M3 we aren't entirely sure, as we both have and are proud owners of the R4.
Well heres the video on how to do it.

How to download, install and use DSOrgranise:
Description from the official DSOrganise site:
| Quote: |
DSOrganize is meant as a homebrew organizer application for the Nintendo DS that should have come built in in the first place. It is by no means comparible to a full-fledged organizer such as a palm, and it is not planned to become an operating system, video player, or anything similar. Many thanks go out to several dedicated members in the homebrew community for their help and libraries, without which, DSOrganize would not exist. |
