when you get m3 simply for review will you give better rating for running homebrew than r4ds? and will you correct r4ds review about homebrew? .. just wondering. iam not really fanboy of both products. just fairness...
Yeah, it would be nice if there was an "update" review for some of the carts. I remember reading the reviews for an M3 and I went for the CF version because I heard there was all sort of problems with the SD version. This was a year ago and I'm pretty certain that things have improved with better firmware and more people would go for the SD version because it's smaller.this is a good question.
IMO the M3 should get exactly the same rating as the R4. It does exactly the same and the updates also bring the same feature (see the recently released update that brings soft reset)
yeah... between the time the R4 review was posted and the M3 review will be posted, things will have changed. But we can't possibly say "the M3 has more features, it does soft reset".
this raises a more general problem on GBAtemp... reviews are hardly kept up to date. When we review a product, we generally don't update it. So you might find reviews of old products that have great ratings, and that would today be complete craps (eg. the original fat M3 SD)
things change a lot over the time, but our reviews do not. (and its not just our reviews... same problems on many websites)
this is why when you read a review, you gotta take into consideration the time it was posted, and the last modification date.
can.IMO the m3 should get a lower score !
the r4ds always gets its updates first !
I'd say that plus the slightly higher price is worth maybe .25 points off the score.I dont know if getting updates three or four days early really deserves a 0.5 (or more) rating difference that might affect the actual sales of the product...
