Hello everyone, I am a total newb to this and have been searching many forums for imforation. I am totally undecided between the Cyclo Ds & M3 Lite Perfect. My main use will be for DS Roms, movies, music. The SDHC is important to me. I do not care too much about game boy advanced. The 33% failure ratio does not bother me on the Cyclo because I have a local dealer. Please convince me on why I should or shouldn't buy either the Cyclo DS or the M3 Lite Perfect. Also I do not understand why i need the passcard in the m3 lite perfect bundle is someone could please explain that. Thanks in advance.

Get the CycloDS Evo. No explanations needed. Instead of comparing the M3 Lite, the reasonable comparison would be the M3DS Real.

EDIT: The passcard is needed cause the M3 Lite is a Slot-2 (GBA Slot card). Where the CycloDS Evo is a Slot-1 (NDS Slot) card.

Also, the CycloDS's new BETA firmware has Real Time Saving.

EDIT2: Hmm... didn't clarify between the two, but the DOA rate was what made me think of the Evo.

If you did mean the M3 Perfect Lite, I have one and would not recommend it. It was a good card at the time, but it requires you to patch roms and the interface is ugly and very slow. The strong point is GBA compatibility which you said you do not need.

My personal opinion is that the Evo is the best DS card available currently. Also I am sure that they have serious quality problems, but I doubt that the failure rate is as high as a third.

    I'd use lemuroid more often if games didnt look blurry even with the "sharp" filter on

    Teraflops are not necessarily indicative of real world performance, especially when compared across different architectures. The Switch 2 will also be smaller/lighter than the Steam Deck so it's performance has to fit inside a much smaller thermal and power envelope. Using a 120hz VRR panel means 40 fps locks can be an option in handheld mode, which will be a noticeable upgrade over the current 30 fps standard on Switch 1. Games could also go uncapped and leverage VRR to keep things smooth.

    Call me a filthy casual but I really don't notice the difference between the last few generations of consoles, and pushing specs just for the sake of bragging rights is really pointless.

    Yea I think the HDR and 60fps+ have been the biggest noticeable improvements, along with faster load times/ ssd hd.

    I can't tell the difference with what is 4K, it's all sharper details.

    Playing the devils advocate, o nstema deck I drop the FPS on most games to 30 due power conservation and tbh I see little to none difference to 60fps. I'd say the difference is in what one wants to believe

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I mostly play shooter games and after playing 120fps (on 120hz tv) most of the time, 60fps otherwise, its hard going back to 30fps, it feels like its in slow motion or screen stuttering.
  • False_Hope @ False_Hope:
    huh I can't tell the difference between 30 and 144 fps and I play with both '-'

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Steamdeck only 60hz, so 60fps max, but yea its whatever we get comfortable with.

    It was probably planned out already since fox is where it originally came from
