I just preordered M3 Simply, what will be the best way to transfer movies and music to my microsd card? Is there any software I will need? thank you!
what you need to do is plug it into your adapter that you get with your micro SD card and then put it into your SD card reader that you probably got with the simply, if you didn't u'll have to buy one. bout $15. then go onto your computer and just put on the files same as putting on any flashdrive/memory stick. drag and drop. if you want to play movies your gonna have to install a homebrew program i think. which you may be able to find on this thread. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/435154/2711898-677070
I have heard that it is a good idea to create subdirectories (folders) for each of your media type. I had an MP3 player that would not play any MP3s unless I organized and dropped them into a folder first. I don't know yet if this would be better or worse as far as functionality but it would be worth looking into.
i think with the simply it has sections like games, music etc. and you just drop it into the music one.
There's no sections (folders) unless you make them. I think it's a good idea as well. For music and roms just drag and drop wherever you like. For movies run them through dpgenc (which is part of dpgtools) then drag and drop wherever you like. I say to all that use the simply, get the new v1.01 released yesterday I think. It runs more cleanly. You can get the complete software package. It has all in it but moonshell is still 1.5. Where moonshell is now at 1.6 and runs more cleanly as well. (edit) My next test's are with linux on the simply. That is for a later date though. The microSD may prove to be to slow for that, but I am going to test it anyway.
do you get dpgenc when you buy the simply? do u mean that their is a new simply version or a new software version (and where di u get this software)? i am completely new to the software side of the simply and other m3 stuff. please explain. thanx
Yeah dpgenc is part of the tools. New software. Can be got from there site. Direct link here http://www.m3adapter.com/SLOT-1/Download.htm
Here is a faster connection to the complete package. http://www.dualscene.net/infusions/pro_download_panel/download.php?did=8 The tools and all. The moonshell in that is 1.5 though. Same as the complete software package that can be downloaded from m3. M3 has link for moonshell v1.6
