Just got one of these from a friend, I don't really know if it works on the 3DS. According to the box and sticker, it's already been updated for DSi v1.4.4, and the site claims the 1.4.4 update works on the 3DS. The site has two cards for sale, a 3DS version and a DSi version, the latter being the one I now have. I put all the files on an 8GB, FAT32 formatted card, put the card in the R4i, and put the R4i in my 3DS. Nothing happens, there's just a blank icon like no card is inserted. Doesn't fit in the slot like a normal DS game card, I don't know if it's having trouble reading it or if it's just not compatible with the 3DS (which would explain the need for a separate 3DS version, I guess).

If I can't get it to work, it's not a big deal. My AK2i should be here by next week, although it'd be nice to have a card to fall back on. Any help would be appreciated.

I'll admit I've been out of the N64 loop for a while, and I can't for the life of me make this work.

I'm trying to set up PJ64 to play decently on a sub-notebook (1.3Ghz Pentium dual-core, Intel GMA 4500MHD, 4GB RAM). Mario Kart 64 plays fine at close to an even 60FPS, but even cranking the resolution down to 320x240 with the default plugin, I can't get more than 42-50FPS on Cruis'n World or Super Smash Bros (55 if there's only two characters on screen), and even the menus in Turok 3 cause the framerate to drop down to 25-30 FPS. Is there some guide to how to optimize PJ64, or is a better emulator available yet? I don't recall having this kind of trouble on my old (and admittedly faster) laptop.

This thing looks like it'll blow every other SNES flashcart out of the water, and apparently they're not too far away from shipping. Not only does it support pretty much every major chip, it's the only cart I've ever seen to support byuu's MSU1 spec (http://byuu.org/snes/msu1/), though there's not much out there that uses it right now.

The only drawback to it that I can see is the obvious price jump over other SNES carts - Stone Age Gamer said that the price of the board itself will probably retail for close to $200.

This is pretty blatant piracy, isn't it? I don't much care if sites sell them, but shouldn't these sort of listings be moderated and removed from ShopTemp?

My friend has a very beaten-up GBM that he wants to get rid of, and I'd probably buy it if I could replace the case, but a quick search doesn't turn much of anything up. Anyone here ever come across one?
