i hear cyclo is the best of all of the carts but reading the m3 real review i'm not to sure of the cyclo being the best anymore.

if there is another cart better than these 2 say what it is but so far these look like the best 2 around.

alright i forgot to say that i already have a cyclods but i sold it for double the price that i bought it for and now i want to know if i get a m3 real will my ds games be able to use the same saves from the cyclods on the m3 real because i feel like i have to test out a flash cart i never used before even if its the save exact thing as the cyclods and i seen m3 real is cheaper by about $6 when i buy it from dealextreme and it is bundled with the gba cart.cyclods is $48 on dealwoot if anyone needs to know.

First of all, the reviews in the site are a tad outdated. They don't list many features added in the updates that were released after the reviews being published updates, like Text Reader for the CycloDS.

That said, you can't go wrong with either of them. AFAIK, the CycloDS has some more features than the M3DS Real, although the latter has the ability to natively boot the firmwares from the M3 Sakura and iTouchDS. They are really tied, I guess. I have a CycloDS and I love it to death. I don't regret buying this cart instead of another, even if it's a bit on the pricey side...

Cyclods has had features that M3 Real has lacked for a long time, but now M3 Real should have all the same features. People have complained that M3 Real browses files slow and I haven't heard about the Cyclods having that problem. I own two M3 Reals and they are good and I also still use my M3 Simply because I had it out already. They both work fine for me, but the M3 Real has more features than the previous M3 product.

If you don't mind spending an extra $20-$30, that's how much more the CycloDS will set you back. Personally I don't need one.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
