Drag, drop, play 
You'll be playing games very soon after you've received the M3 Simply. This is due to the following points: 
There is no software needed to put games/media on the M3 Simply. Just drag'n'drop .NDS files from your pc onto the the M3 Simply using the standard USB interface. The only thing needed are 3 files on the installation disk that need to be dragged onto the M3 Simply. This takes about 20 seconds. 
The M3 Simply boots games in blazing speeds. Booting the NDS with the M3 Simply takes about 4 seconds ( way shorter than the G6 Lite!) and booting up a game takes about 6 seconds! ( timed with Tetris DS, results may vary upon game size). 



The video shows the menu of the M3 Simply (version 1.01), which is simple and intuitive. On the video Game is choosed, and the person browses through his folders on the M3 Simply (which appear on the upper screen) to search for .NDS roms.
The menu has 3 buttons: Game, Multimedia and Boot Slot-2.
The first 2 options speak for themselves, but Boot Slot-2 means that you can use it as an Passcard. This way you can boot other Flashcarts with the M3 Simply. (But who would want that?)
The M3 Simply doesn't play Gameboy advance games because it's a one-slot flashcart. With the Boot Slot-2 option you just need another flashcart with gba roms to play them, which isn't something that alot of people have. So this feature is nice addition but no big Pro.
The menu of the M3 Simply can be altered with skins that you can download. There are already some M3 Simply skins out there, so this is an nice little addition too, but again no big Pro.

Nintendo DS Games
 
The main task the M3 Simply designed for is playing Nintendo DS roms. It does his job very well.  Alle tested games (Elite Beat Agents, Castlevania Portrait of Ruin, Advance Wars DS and Tetris DS) boot, play and save perfectly. Their are some reports that Download play doesn't work in some games though. The compatibility is 100%, and because of this no patching is required until date. This is really a pro over it's main competitor, the G6 Lite. The G6 Lite often needs to be patched.
