How to Add Cheats to the M3 DS Real

The M3 DS Real is a microSD card for the Nintendo DS. Users can add game cheats, movies, music, pictures and other files to the M3 DS Real and load them on their Nintendo DS. The DS Real uses Action Replay-format cheat codes, but the cheat codes that come with it are outdated. Users can download new Action Replay-format cheat codes using the official Action Replay program, copy the cheat code file to their M3 DS Real and enable them on their Nintendo DS.
