Hacking Is M3 Sakura replacing M3 DS Real?

[Toni Plutonij]

You guys REALLY need to remember that the "M3 TEAM" is a couple guys in Hong Kong who have day jobs and families and do this crap in their spare time because it's fun to hack systems. They probably also have a presence as a completely different team making Wii mods, XBox mods, whatever.

"These guys get PAID to do this?"

If by "get paid" you mean "make a couple bucks for every unit sold" then sure. Think about it - we're a vocal but SMALL community. There have probably only been a few thousand M3's sold total. If those guys got $10 per... that's not a lot. Certainly not enough to live on.

So cut them some slack.

You should realize that M3 is actually only a part of a bigger "company" GBalpha that is into piracy business, selling sets of DVDs, games and all kinds of similar stuff, with the real shop (located somewhere in the China I believe), and many teams that work on all kinds of projects..
Somebody posted a link to their shops in the past, but I can't retrace them now because I can't understand their foreign sites, and navigation..

The whole M3 thing is much more bigger than you think!

So your statement isn't actually true..

I'm not surprised, but I stick by part of my statement - I virtually guarantee that the M3 Real firmware is being developed by one guy (maybe two) who also has a day job - or two. I'm sure the M3 empire is huge, but the actual reward that this poor guy gets is tiny. And the people communicating with the end users are almost assuredly NOT the guy doing the coding.

Again, we even know who's main work Sakura actually is..Moonlight (the guy who made Moonshell) actually developed it in the cooperation with the M3 Team!
I, for a fact know, that M3 Team isn't actually one team, but few teams that work on different parts of a World, and different sections of hacking/translating/flashing a NDS (and GBA in the past)!

So again, your theory is interesting, but wrong!

And also, main problem why people are complaining, isn't the whole "waiting" thing, but the fact that they have been promising English Sakura from the day that Japanese version is released (English version was supposed to come out in few days), after that announcement said it was about to be released in a mont, and after that they just started to drag that date..

I personally don't need official english, because we hacked it and translated it ourselves!! And it works for me perfectly, I'm just telling you the facts

I still love M3 Team
