So I am planning on getting an R4, and a M3 lite perfect.

I want to be able to play backup DS AND GBA games, but ALSO be able to use the DS Browser.

I know i need to patch the DS Browser for M3 with the IPS Patcher.

Will this combo work? R4 and m3 lite perfect?

I am seeing a lot of people using R4 with the EZFlash 3-in-1, I can't seem to decide what combo is the best.

Any suggestions with what i wanna do?

 

The M3 lite perfect has a bigger price tag, but also has its own micro SD slot for storing games on. Its said that game compatibility is high with the M3 lite, but not as high as the EZ-Flash 4 lite deluxe which also has its own micro sd slot and (dunno about how great the 3in1 is but bet its close to the EZ4) still about half the price of a M3 lite perfect.

The EZ flash V 3 in 1 reads from the SLOT-1 micro SD device. It can store 1 32MB game in NOR memory and can boot straight from SLOT 2 in any NDS lite at that point (kinda like hard written data until flashed with another game), the 3in1 also has 16MB PSRAM which you can load up a game (writes to memory faster than NOR) temporarily until power is remove at which the game will be erased from the card but the save in SRAM will still be there. Along with those 2 features it also has 3 rumble modes, and 16MB of expansion memory for Nintendo DS webrowser or DSlinux. Its a awesome device at a very sweet price.

I choose the 3in1 with my R4 and a kingston 2GB micro SD, it can store lots and lots of games! (kinda like more than 100 )

 

You have pretty much what I used to have, but now I traded the R4 for a g6DSR and the M3 Perfect for a 3in1

 

Well, he traded. So unless he got money back that was a really crappy trade. I guess some people like to "downgrade" for the fun of it.

 

i am getting a lot of mix reviews....

still duno what to choose.

R4DS and M3 lite perfect

or

R4DS and EZFlash 3-in-1

or

G6 DSR and EZFlash 3-in-1

 

Well, I think the R4+M3 Lite combo is slightly better, but it is more expensive. The only thing the 3 in 1 actually does better is rumble and linking DS to GBA games.

As I use my original Pokémon games (if I even play Pokémon), for me the M3 Lite + R4 combo is perfect. I just need a Rumble Pak now...

Btw, if you have an old (phat) DS, you can't even use the 3 in 1, so you'll have to buy a M3 Lite.

 

EZ Flash 3 in 1 is a nice "GBA card/NDS Browser RAM Expansion Pack/NDS Rumble Pack." If you don't mind playing one gba game at a time then this is a good purchase. Don't forget about a $22 price tag.

Won't this work with the phat?

 

thatll work fine

the average prices come to this

r4 = ~$40-30
m3=~$70
microsd 1gb kingston = ~$15-12
3 in 1 = ~$22-18

i would suggest you get a EZF4 lite deluxe which are ~$40-50

 

As a matter of fact i do mind i dont wanna be stuck playing 1 GBA game at a time. One moment i might be playing Golden Sun, 15 min later i might wanna play Mario Kart, I dont wanna have to reflash it and lose my save files or anything. So if thats the case, then go for M3 lite+R4?

i dont care about rumble...i dont care as much about the linkage for GBA games, since i wont be linking anyone with my GBA games anyways.

 

Ahh what is the disadvantage to flashing? do i lose my saved game or something?

and the M3 lite doesn't need to flash each time?
