M3i Zero Update Process for the DSi 1.4 Update

August 29th, 2010 Filed Under M3i Zero Adapter

The M3i Zero can be updated with a USB cord. The update with this USB cord reprograms the kernel, which is the method by which the M3i Zero can thwart the anti-piracy measures found in the 1.4 update of the Nintendo DSi. You can read the written instructions at: dsdatabase.org Download files at: gbatemp.net

    If you are using the M3i Zero with a DS Lite, do you need to update it with the USB cord?

    Hard to say, I like the AceKard a lot, but all of them have their pros and cons.

    Can’t I get the update from Nintendo away, simply by formatting, so all Nintendo DSi settings get lost?

    @MRISO49 Yes. The update doesn’t affect compatibility with older DSis.

    I’m sorry I needed to keep it at 1.3 so that I could do my other flash carts, but rest assured the end product of the ideo will work with a 1.4 DSi

    M3i zero works on my old DS (DS fat) but it won’t work on my new nintendo DSi. when i put it in the DSi it says: An error has occurred. Press and hold the Power Button to turn the system off. Please see the Nintendo DSi Operations Manual for help troubleshooting. So how do I fix this?
