as of now, No, you cannot use the newest m3Sakura on iTouch
but you could use the old Sakura 1.12+ on iTouch and use newest game engine from M3sakura to run new games

Wouldn't it be somewhat possible to run hex boot on the itouchds? We could use some of the soft reset NDS files to get from one firmware to another.

We could atleast make a Quad Boot work by adding the r4i rts to iSakuReal, right?

it might only be possible for a Triple Boot ( Sakura 1.12+, iTouch and R4iRTS) because Touchpod has been blocked since 3.7f, there is no meaning of running an outdated firmware on it...unless they unblocked it or the old patch files is working again since they make Touchpod universal, but I have no way to test it without an iTouch flashcart.

what ever games the newest M3Sakura 1.4x can play, Sakura 1.12+ can play

grab the newest M3Sakura firmware from http://www.handheldsources.com/M3DS/Download_M3DSR.html

get the startnds.eng file from the zip file and rename it to startnds.ext and copy it to your Sakura 1.12+ System folder overwritting the old one
are there any significant visual/gui differences between 1.12 & 1.4x? or do they look pretty much the same ? & is one slower/faster than the other or is it similar performance ?

What Sakura did you get the startnds.eng from?

you only grab the startnds.eng file (and nothing else) then rename it to startnds.ext

Yes 1.4x problem is so big because currently Kaura won't run on M3iZero JP...
Well, Kaura is OK (confirmed on M3iZeroJ, old M3Reng.m3p/P_M3Reng.vbs work) but it won't go to Sakura.eng.

I got the file from the above link and from here and none of them work.
try this & see if it works.
http://filetrip.net/f8518-iTouch--M3-Sakur...l-Boot-2-1.html

Isn't that the 1.10 version or something? Its game engine would be outdated.
1.12, & thats why you replace it with 1.46's game engine.
Tried it and replaced it with the 1.46 game engine and it still gives the same error. Also tried with some v1.3X game engines and it's the same. Are you sure you don't have to do anything extra to the file for it to work on the Itouch?

Did you rename the engine from .eng to .ext?
