yes, thats not the problem here
i would even notice if m3 detection was off due to the missing sram save
the point is, that because of some weird circumstances, scumm does not always detect the flashcard correctly (so no access to the sd-card)
and even the sram won't get saved correctly to the .dat files (that is, the m3 setting is lost as soon as i start moonshell, other games that use sram won't effect the scumm sram data)
these posts of mine are not for me, so you could help me fix it, but for agentq so he can get a basic idea what might still be wrong. so i'll try to sum up my experience. That's all
SCSD / M3SD test version. Please download and post results!

NDS Lite : SC Lite : SanDisk 1gb MicroSD : Day of the Tentacle
Game loads fine and appears to play through without any major issue.
Problem shows up when trying to save. After choosing save, both screens go black and the system stops. Rebooting, restarting DotT, and trying to load the save shows a corrupted save game. Any additional attempts to save have the same results. I also tried patching scummvm-a.nds with the Moonshell patcher but got the same results.
The real kicker is: I can no longer access my SD card on my computer. It detects when I insert the card but complains about there not being a disk when I try to explore it. Guess I better hurry up and finish the games I'm playing so I can re-format, ha ha.

Same thing happend to me!
This is the exact same thing that happened to me while testing a non moonshell patched v0.6 file on my NDS Lite with a SC Lite. The subtile difference is that my SC Lite could no longer read the MicroSD card after I reset the game. I went to check out the contents of the flash card on my PC, but both my PC's Windows Explorer and my wife's PC's Windows Explorer would hand up just after I inserted the card. I could not format my 2GB MicroSD card at all! When I used the dos prompt "format" it would hang up for a while and return with some kind of IO Error message. One time after the error was printed, my multi-card reader/writer dissapeared from my computer's drive listing. Luckly for me, my work laptop was able to reformat the card with the same command prompt. First formated it as a RAW file system "format g:" and then I could format it as a fat system "format g: /fs:fat".slapztik wrote:NDS Lite : SC Lite : SanDisk 1gb MicroSD : Day of the Tentacle

i was playing around with this trying to get it to work and i finally got it loaded and showing my games... tried to load dott and it just gave me a black screen... so i turn off... turn it back on... it lists the contents but it won't load any roms now... just white screen, no count or anything...
and my computers won't read the card now! i have two pcs, and neither can read it, they just say no card found. i think i'm going to cry now. i need help fixing my card :~( advice? how is it possible that this broke it :~(
edit: i'm using supercard lite with a sandisk 1gig micro sd
edit 2: used a friend's reader in usb 1.1 mode and after about 10 minutes of mashing on the card, my dos format command finally kicked in and it looks like i'm back in action... phew
You've never heard of the DS-link?

As for a driver, I'm not sure the source of a modified version of moonshell is even available.
