I'm very interested to buy one with Rumble Pack, because I have the Classic NDS and I don't find the flashcart without expansions. I'd forget my M3 Simply, it's troubling me with the problem of the WiFi and more. The games work too well, but I'm looking for more.

I read a time ago that Nintendo demanded R4Team, so they stopped making new firmwares and flashcarts. If no actualization for R4, no actualiation for M3 DS Simply...

So then:
-M3 Simply doesn't work with my WFC
-M3 Simply has no actualizations
-M3 Real has a good price
-M3 Real is compatible with SDHC
-M3 Real is compatible with Sakura

Court adjourned xD
I'll buy it if I can

Thanks unz thats what I needed to hear. I can afford the M3 just wanted to make sure there was a reason for paying more. Ill most likely order the M3 real tomorrow with a 2gb microsd. Thanks again for the info.

No probs, glad I could help out a fellow traveller.

Other people already covered most of it, but...

M3 Real offers:

- Slow Motion
- Auto DLDI
- Auto Patch
- Cheats
- Media Player (Moonshell), etc. etc.

Plus it's more future-proof.

AND I'm pretty sure only the M3 Real / Sakura can run the GBA expansion pack and rumble pack.

Like everyone else here said, the M3DS Real is a great choice. I just got mine Saturday, and I love it. It's perfect for everything I need, plus it's handy when I want to play a wireless game with myself.

If you order one, get it from Dealwoot, they're great, and shipped mine fast, for free. (Which I found odd, since I live on the east coast, and they're based in the west coast.)
