G6/M3 Real system soft. region patcher

-----------------------------
What is this?

Simply put, this is a G6/M3 Real region patcher.

------------------------------
Purpose:

This program can modify a file meant for region 'a' to work
on region 'b' hardware. It is possible to switch between
Big5 (Chinese), GB (Chinese), English, and Japanese without
having to modify the actual hardware.

-------------------------------
Instructions:

Simply extract the system file (g6dsload.something) and this
program to the same directory, run the patcher program,
type the g6dsload's complete file name (including extension)
choose the region of your card, and that should be it.

--------------------------------

Coded by IQ_132 - http://neosource.1emu.net/
Thank you to amptor for the initial testing

--------------------------------
Notice:

I do not have a M3/G6 Real cart and have not extensivly tested
this, so I take no responsibility if this somehow bricks your
flash cart. While, AFAIK, there is a 0.000001% chance of this
happening, I just want to cover my bases.

I'm glad you're still around cap :)  As for the date, yeah, too little sleep makes me screw things up lol.
As for your karma, that's my doing. ;)  I wanted to see how high it would go, and apparently it stops at
0xFFFF. :)

Hi IQ, great work for doing the patch!

BTW, I would like to know which version of the firmware did you work on to create this patch?

Do you mind checking out the new firmware they have now and see if they look compatible, because E07 is not the same as E06 (i just see that from the file creation date), and E07 and E08 seem to have the same g6dsload.eng

Thank you IQ.

It's fairly likely that it still works.  I don't really have any way of checking myself, I don't have one of these cards myself.  Btw, this mod should not be able to hurt your card in any way.  If it doesn't work, just re-load the system files and viola, you're good to go.

Thank you for your reply! I will definately give it a try if i have my DS with me now.

To understand the instruction perfectly, can you verify the process below in applying the patch is correct?

TO PATCH ENGLISH FIRM to work on China Card:

- Download E06 Patch English version
- Put Patch file set into the same folder with g6dsload.eng
- Input g6dsload.eng as the filename
- Choose BIG5 or GB for it to work on BIG5 or GB version China card

At last, do i have to delete the g6dsload.eng file before copying the entire folder over?

You should only need to replace the g6dsload.gb or g6dsload.bg5 on the cart.

Hi,

You will need to patch the menu.eng as well.
It works fine.

Hi,

I try to patch the menu.eng too. but I had the same result: black screen on the back screen and blue M3 screen on top.

Can you send me or give me a link to a version patch by you for japan M3. I will see what bad i do.

Thanks.

Hey IQ,

I am having trouble with the E15 firmware, as it boots up to only a black and blue screen. I wonder if you can take another look to update the patch.
