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

3rd and 4th characters= version

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.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
