Hey guys!

I'm stuck with an R4 (yeah yeah, boo!) and it occurs to me that this problem may become more common in the future so I'm curious.

Which card is the most recommended? Acekard 2i? Cyclo? etc

Personal opinions are great! Thanks!

I'd go with the M3 Real bundle, if I were you. The Sakura firmware is my favorite out of the cards I've tried, it gets frequent updates, and it's GBA expansion is MOUNDS better than the other ones, because it's simple as hell to use because it's automated. You just run the gba rom like a nds game, without the need to mess around and do things manually like other GBA carts. Another good one I personally like is the CycloDS, but I would only get that one if you need the in-game text reader, and don't plan on playing GBA games.

DSTT owner here, and I can honestly say I have no intention of jumping on the M3/AK2/CycloDS bandwagon just for this one particular game. And the reason isn't that I'm not interested in Mario & Luigi 3, I absolutely loved the first 2 games, and it's not even that I have faith in DSTT devs for putting out a fw update anytime soon. It's more that I can see Nintendo is finally making some real inroads with their AP measures, and within the next few months I'm sure we're going to start seeing more and more games defeating flashcarts (for a little while or permanently) with better AP measures. I'd rather wait the next 6 months or so out before getting stuck with another non-working cart.

i am going to get flame for saying this

why J games usually get fix within hours or maybe 1-2 days time?
go think about it folks

I'm kinda upset that the Simply is dead....yeah there are newer m3 cards out there, but I haven't had a single issue with the card up until this release...

I'm certainly not going m3/r4/anything else that company supports ever again. It's just sad because I can say the same thing about the m3 lite, and that too is dead. Brand loyalty 4tf :/

Gonna try to pick this game up from my local game store anyway, is going to be well worth $35.

i got this from another forum (trust me i hate typing a lot)

" hate to crush you guys' hopes, but I had a talk with elixirdream a few hours ago (he's the one who announced the patch here). He said the code they were making seriously broke some things and they decided to give up on it. And the people who are making the code do not like to release patches anyways since it makes the flashcard developers become lazy and just steal the code for themselves WITHOUT CREDIT.

So the current R4 fix I knew about (which also was supposed to work on all cards) is no more apparently. It's a good thing they tested it before releasing it. I hear it messed some stuff up.

Anyways, believe me or don't believe me, I don't care. I wasn't the one making the patch anyways. Neither was elixirdream. I never even had it."

So does that mean r4 won't have a patch and why won't ys or yasu won't work on my r4sdhc (it can only load homebrew not roms)

I'm kinda retarded when it comes to flashcards etc. So what would I have to do to get it to work on an edge card?

Yeah, I can't seem to get the game to work with my Edge card. I've heard it has something to do with the speed of your microSD card, so I might go out and buy a new one (I'm long overdue in getting another one anyway).

I am using an AceKard with AKAIO 1.4.1..the only issue I Have is that when I press save and quit, it wil save but it will go to a white screen, how can I fix that? but when I press save and continue it continues the game just fine

So, AKAIO 1.4.1 is months old... Does this mean that it would have worked with AKAIO since day one?

 

[GRmask]

anyone tried to fix this with ultra edit?
it fixed kingdom hearts so maybe it will fix mario & luigi and get it work on r4.
the problem is i don't know how to use ultra edit but i heard this is good for ds games that doesn't work on flash cards.
it's the last hope.

me on the other hand, did it other way around.
I waited patiently for 5 days, but then I said "screw it" and ordered Acekard 2i. It was for like 12$ on deal extreme, so screw it.
If patch for DSTT comes before card arrives, cool, if not, well, DSTT will be my backup card...

An update for M3 DS Real / M3i Zero has been released yesterday by the M3 Team, it fixes the problems with this game and HGSS, Just wanted to let you know. Not that you think you still cannot play it on M3 DS Real / M3i Zero.

 

[ruruonikun]

hate to ask, but does anyone know a good site to buy the m3 ds real? i mean i only need to buy the card, i dont need the rumble or the expansion pack, thank you

 

[ConJ]

Works flawlessly so far on my Acekard2i with AKAIO latest version. I'm pretty lucky to be one of the only ones with a clean rom. For those of you struggling, best of luck to you guys in finding solutions. Peace!

Are you sure your using a clean rom. I tried with a clean rom on AK2i with AKAIO, and it freezes on the create a save screen. It works fine once its been patched though.

Does anybody if the M3 firmware update works for Simply version? If so, how do i install it?

 

[xtreme1]

still no fix for r4?

 

[astobiro]

no fix for r4 yet...........

 

[TrolleyDave]

How many posts saying "No fix for R4 yet grrrrr" do we actually need on each page?

Does anybody if the M3 firmware update works for Simply version? If so, how do i install it?

No it won't, the M3 Simply was a rebadged R4.
