Hacking the different kind of slot 1 cards

[tmbscoopex]

the different kind of slot 1 cards:

this list assembles the clone cards I know of, please keep in mind that there are also clone cards out there which look like the original cards and even use their firmware, they are not listed separately in this compilation.

I also know this listing is not complete, there are more cards out there, but I didn't have the chance to examine them until now, so if you have additional information about other cards, feel welcome to share your research and experience.

this list is exclusively posted to ds-scene.net and gbatemp.net forums, of which I am a member for quite some time now, but didn't post a lot in the past. I felt like it was time to contribute something to these great communities which helped me a lot of times finding answers to my questions.

you may link to this post, but please don't republish it.

1. M3 Simply isn't really a clone, while it is basically a copy of the R4 it was just released by M3 so that they could keep up and have enough money until they released the M3 DS Real, it still got regular updates.

2. The M3 has their own clones that aren't made by them, they don't have a specific name it's just the M3 DS Real but crappier (I guess?) the website on the box of the clone either say m3adaptes.com or m3adaptador.com.

3. I know you say that all of the listed things under M3 is made by the M3 team but they're most definitely not clones the itouches are budget cards for people who can't afford the M3 Real of M3i Zero it's nothing like the M3 Real of M3i Zero and is almost not associated with it at all besides that it is also made by the M3 Team so it cannot be called a clone. M3 Sakura is also not very much a clone it was just what they used to release the M3 Sakura firmware. I understand that they may have the same type of physical build as the M3 and alot of shared similar properties but that doesn't automatically mean they're clones that's just cheaper because the M3 Team already had those cart shells to use.

4. The R4's by the M3 team aren't clones either they're official just look: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=163785

5. You might wonna make one section for real carts and one section for actual clones

I agree with DeltaBurnt, you really need to do more research and edit the OP.

1. M3 Simply isn't really a clone, while it is basically a copy of the R4 it was just released by M3 so that they could keep up and have enough money until they released the M3 DS Real, it still got regular updates.

that's all known, still the M3 DS Simply is a almost exact copy of the R4 DS, thus it's a clone, call it "official clone" if you prefer that term.

2. The M3 has their own clones that aren't made by them, they don't have a specific name it's just the M3 DS Real but crappier (I guess?) the website on the box of the clone either say m3adaptes.com or m3adaptador.com.

m3adaptes.com cards are DSTT clone (and in the list)
I dont have a m3adaptador.com card, but checking the firmware I found on http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/ it is also a DSTT clone
they both use only the M3 name

3. I know you say that all of the listed things under M3 is made by the M3 team but they're most definitely not clones the itouches are budget cards for people who can't afford the M3 Real of M3i Zero it's nothing like the M3 Real of M3i Zero and is almost not associated with it at all besides that it is also made by the M3 Team so it cannot be called a clone. M3 Sakura is also not very much a clone it was just what they used to release the M3 Sakura firmware. I understand that they may have the same type of physical build as the M3 and alot of shared similar properties but that doesn't automatically mean they're clones that's just cheaper because the M3 Team already had those cart shells to use.

ok, I see your point here
I will splitt the M3 Adapter into 2 points:

a) M3 Real DS, M3i Zero, M3 Sakura

M3 Sakura runs only the Sakura OS, but also the other 2 cards run the unmodified Sakura OS, thus I think they should be listed together

b) iTouchDS, iTouch 2 and its clone: R4i SDHC & RTS (M3), R4i SDHC (M3) and R4 SDHC (M3)

QUOTE4. The R4's by the M3 team aren't clones either they're official just look: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=163785

all the R4 cards by M3 team are using the same OS as the iTouchDS/2 cards, just with a differnet "skin"

5. You might wonna make one section for real carts and one section for actual clones

I don't exactly understand, can you describe your idea a bit further? would be interested to improve the list.

Thanks for your feedback, it's very welcome.

Well I think you should do something like this:

M3 Team Flashcarts:
M3i Upgrade (Fake, DSTT Clone)
Itouch DS (Real, Budget card by M3 Team)
Etc.
