Sorry, but I am new to all of this. If I get this, will the titles and interfaces be in Chinese? If so, is there an English one available? Thanks, Dan

I have an R4 and I can say that by looking at the photos of the interface they look identical.

Although I would say that the M3 is a more professional looking package as a whole.

For all those people wondering, the R4 works very well and very easily. I am sure that the M3 will be a great option.

R4/M3 DS are the best. Honestly. WHY should you have to wait for a "firmware" update for the Supercard ONE when you have 100% commercial game compatibility for the R4/M3 RIGHT NOW. Not to mention that R4 comes with a MicroSD reader (You can read MicroSD's without adapter).

Supercard ONE just sucks. Face it

while you're talking, the new firmware is already out.
shut up.
But the thing is that they didn't get most of the kinks out from the beginning which R4 did and apparently M3 did too. It's like buying a new car and to drive it out of the dealership, you had to bring your own gas which is the Supercard DS (ONE) and R4DS and M3DS are a car that is already gased up and ready to go.

It still doesn't make any difference, R4/M3 is still much easier to use then Supercard ONE. Regardless of any firmware.

i'll agree with all that
those two products looked much more professionally put together
and it seems like its running all the games very well.
but with the new firmware supercard is running the games well too. and a better GUI. and i'm not sure about save type, but sarah mentioned something about it being automatic so i guess something was fixed.


kenfrenzyThe new version 1.1 firmware for supercard DS auto detects speed, and their new save size list is now all correct. Newer games may still need a manual change, but you only have to do it once.

anyhow my point is, yea those 2 might be better, but that doesnt mean supercard is piece of ****.
it does pretty much what it needs to do, so quit down talking it.

I think this topic is getting a bit off topic. It's not about who better, it's about the M3 DS Simply and what it has to offer. Am I right?

M3 Simply is the same thing as R4 DS, for better or for worse. The REAL M3 Slot One will be completely different and come with the PDA tool. And blow all Slot One's out of the water (Supposedly)

Probably won't blow them out of the water. None of the knocked DS-X off it pedestal. They just joined it up there. You're probably right about PDA. GBA wont be happening unless M3 decides to bundle it with a M3 Perfect which I think they will.

No, M3 team owns M3 and G6, the R4 is a different company but the same actual hardware that the M3 Simply does.

So basically they went to an oem for the "simply" so they would have a product out at the same time as every one else to buy them time to finish their "real" cart.

I would not be surprised if the r4/m3ds is actually made by r4, they get to boost sales by selling under a second brand (m3) and gain a little credibility from m3's name.

I don’t get why there would be a nameless developer/manufacture supplying both because they could sell their own product with fewer middle men.
