Hacking m3 sakura 1.12 reverse engineering

[KH-Roms]

All hail to iamanobody!!

Just test 1.12. The Soft-Reset is working and already found 1 problem in Cooking Mama 2 US.
When enabling soft-reset L+R+B+A+X/Y, the game is freezed in Pizza recipe (arrange the food scene).
This also the same problem with M3Real firmware.

Already check the rom with NDSHeader, it says good-dump. Don't know what's the problem.
I'm using 2GB Kingston Made in Japan.

Are you sure about that? If I'm not mistaken, the Ewin Expansion Pack is hardware wise exactly the same as the M3 Real GBA Expansion Pack. The M3 Real can't even tell the difference as far as I'm aware. This would mean that it functions exactly the same.

I don't think you're the average person who just wants to play GBA-roms I still love mine as well. It's a great cart with great compatibility, all the options you could possibly imagine, 32 MB of RAM for homebrew like Quake 2 or the Opera browser and an SD slot to use with DualSlotBrowser. Still, when you're only using it to play GBA-roms without all the bells and whistles the M3 Real Expansion Pack is just as good.
Yeah, I'm sure
M3 GBA expansion is unique product, and different than any other GBA expansions....the thing is, some game stores were mistaking that expansion with the ewin, because they look similar when disassembled, so people started to talk about those two expansions as the very same....But some time ago, there were thread with confirmation that those expansions are different products, and that ONLY cart that support M3 Reals extra features is official M3 GBA expansion cart!!

Yes, you might be right there with the statement if M3 Lite is used as expansion in comparison with GBA expansion cart, it's better to go with the cheaper solution....But I'm using my M3 Lite in my GB Micro
And there's no better cart for GBA gaming..

Well preferably i want something i can order form deal extreme sl i dont have to pay +10-20$ shipping. Is the EZ 3in1 worth it?
Yes it is, you still won't get extra features....but It's the best choice you can make, considering the price!!
I would suggest you to go for it!!

no dude its the dstt and the ewin that are the same.
The m3 gba has something other packs do not have.. RTC..

True, M3 expansion is, as I stated above, unique product..

Sorry for the confusion, I didn't know that. I had read the old reports, but not the new ones

The strange thing is, when using my M3 Perfect in combination with the M3 Real, it wouldn't use the RTC. When patching games using the M3 Game Manager and running them from the M3 itself it would work.

But nevermind, I don't want to hijack this topic.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

No problem

I, too, was under impression that those two expansions are the same, for some time..

But we learn something new every day here!!

OK, i'm back

this thread is for REVERSE ENGINEERING/HACKING of m3 sakura 1.12 (not for discussion/questions/etc.)

this thread isn't for discussion.

 

[Leon2457]

Thank you very much-o!

I works superbly ^^

 

[Domo]

Granted this topic isnt for discussion, can we have a list posted of updates before downloading? This is just personal preference really but I wanna see if the updates are good enough to upgrade from the 1.11 version.

 

[Sandman00009]

when i go to download it, it gives me a .7z how do i fix tht???


EDIT:never mind

Any chance a dldi ver might be coming out? Wish I knew more about coding, I would try and do it myself.

it was banned by the m3 team after Rodolph was trying to do that and get a letter from them saying legal action would be taken unless he stopped

I made a DLDI version of it the day it was released, isnt too hard either I'd make a program too do it yourself but i'm too lazy

here ya go Just extract that along with the hacked english release from the first page to your cart and it should work fine, although not sure if homebrew will work.

Great! Can you make a hacked Cyclo DS firmware as well for us M3 Real users?

If someone sends me a CycloDS and a M3Real

All joking aside, the CycloDS stores it's firmware in internal memory which i'd need to dump or get someone else to dump before i could even think about hacking it

You're pretty much skillful..You really believe, in theory, it could be done?

I mean, I'm against mixing firmwares among carts, but I'm amazed by your skill of hacking!!

Ofcourse it wouldn't work, i'm saying it 'could' be done but wouldn't be worth the time and effort. I would however like to see the real cyclods firmware, just for curiosity's sake.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

Yes, I understand.....I mean, I'm really admiring your skills.....
Do you maybe know, what's with that AceKard stuff on Sakura?!?!
How could it be used, if it could? and why is it there for?

There EzFlash, Supercard, and god knows how many other flashcart's stuff is in m3sakura.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

I know that .ini contains some lines regarding all that stuff....But do you know what is it for?
