[dontbanthis]

Where can I still buy a M3 Perfect miniSD compatible with GBA SP/Micro?

I've been literally raiding the web and can't seem to find any stock of it.

cheers and hopefully someone can help me

They are a very respectable site to buy from too. I have bought over a dozen flashcarts from them and have NEVER had a problem.....including a M3 Perfect miniSD, which I currently use in my DSlite.

Welcome to GBAtemp!

Welcome to the site,


was going to post a site, but I see you have it under control.


(If you ever need a backup site tho, I use www.consolesource.com to get modchips and flashcarts).

They are in Canada BTW (fast shipping times tho)

I have an M3 Perfect for my GBA and would like to get another one. Anyone know where I can find one? It's hard to find one these days.

I'm not interested in the M3 Perfect Lite. It has to be M3 Perfect. Thanks!

One place that has them is here:

But they're asking $100 for it. I had bought mine from Real Hot Stuff back in Oct 08 for $60.

Thats the M3 perfect pro ar real hot stuff. You can't play GBA games on that card because there's no ram.

When I bought mine, it was M3 Perfect SD. It wasn't the pro edition. See the below email that I received. It's too bad that it's not easy to get anymore.

6 years has passed and I'm wondering if it's still possible to get an m3 perfect sd?

 

[Darkipod]

A new one? No. Honestly they are super hard to find.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

The M3 group hasn't made a new flashcart in a while, for all intent and purposes they are dead.

As to a new one, not likely. You can however still find the pro version floating around, due be aware the pro version only has 4MB, same as 32Mb (not MB, case sensitive).

[Darkipod]

From my talks with FAST, the pro version really isn't all that useful for GBA because of that very small limit. I have thought about getting one for shits and giggles a few times, but I just don't see it being worth it.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

The pro version was strictly for the DS games from slot2, the passme card era of flashcarts before getting a real slot1 flashcart.

 

[albertar]

Is there a difference between the m3 perfect sd and the m3 perfect mini sd? which is better? Also how much memory can the m3 perfect sd hold?

I just got an m3 perfect sd with 1 gb of storage and was wondering if I could use a 2gb sd with it.

Thanks!

Where did you get it? That cart cannot do SDHC, I believe the max is a 2GB card on both of them, but the 2GB cart must not be SDHC, which might be hard to find. The CF version can probably go much above that, but the cart is pretty big.

Edit:
I think this one will work.

Sweet! Is there any specific way to tell if it's sdhc or not? Cause I'm aware a lot of sd cards will say "standard sd" but when you get it, it is in fact an sdhc. Thanks for the link btw

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

2GB or less will have SD or the transflash printed on it (in the case of microSD).

4GB and up are SDHC and will have the SDHC logo and/or have the class speed listed on the card. Class 2 SDHC is the slowest speed and will usually not have the class listed.

----

If you don't have the markings on it, it might be a cheap knockoff if you got it off ebay or online chinese vendor. Some knockoffs off ebay even have all the markings and are impossible to tell unless you look up teh serial number or try using it.

Hi So I just ordered the 2gb Transcend SD Card, and I cut and pasted all my stuff from my original 1gb memory card to it, and nothing seems to be loading. Then I formatted the 2gb sd card to fat 32 and now every time I plug it in, the menu screen won't even load up. Is there something I must do in order to get a new sd card to work with the m3?

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

you can try formatting your 2GB as FAT.


I got a kingston 2GB microSD in mine.

Some Transcend SD, that is probably where they are made seem to not work with some flashcarts. And this was with slot1 flashcarts as well.
