To be honest I've been reading around here and there about what fixes or patches may be employed for the M3i0. Because of the fresh new releases of high quality games such as 999 and Golden Sun, I realized that M3i0 isn't really getting any love so I decided to research some other carts, found out that DSTWO and AceKard are two good replacement choices.

But now I've been stopped in my tracks by the M3 team apparently claiming they will be coming out with a new patch "ASAP" and lots of other cool looking fixes such as the WoodM3 (Which apparently seems dead/on hold because of some drama issues with the maker) so I've decided to sit around and wait instead of shovel out some quick cash for a quick fix.

Here I am, asking you, all of you what is the best option for the M3i0 RIGHT NOW. Is there a patch, are those of you wanting to play games like 999 and GS waiting or are you going to purchase one of the other cards?

I'd like to get some feedback on this, and it's much appreciated.

    Latest Switch 2 leak says it will have a LCD, not OLED, run most games 40fps max, and only be 1.5 tflops handheld, 3 tflops docked. That's less than the steamdeck at 1.71 handheld, 3.1 docked.

    Switch 2 LCD is about like TN type compare to old Nintendo Switch LCD before. Also games running on 40 FPS look not good for us and people. 60 FPS are best for normal everyday gaming. That's weird. I think should not buy Switch 2 because it like Switch 1.5 something like that. Little improve but not major improve. I think going to skip it.

    Yea that's just rumored but not sounding that impressive for a next gen upgrade. Of course Nintendo is very good at optimization of their games to play well, but for a $400+ 2025 console I expected a little better. Even a $299 2020 Xbox Series S has 4 tflops.

    I thought it was supposed to be on par with an xbox 1 in power, why is it running most things at 40fps lol
  • Anrei @ Anrei:
    in terms of power I thought it was a 2.0 compared to the switch man 40fps sounds whack is there poor optimisation or something?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Just rumors/ leaks. We will find out in a few weeks. But yea prob way underpowered to save battery, for longer playtimes, like Switch 1 is.

    I'd use lemuroid more often if games didnt look blurry even with the "sharp" filter on

    Teraflops are not necessarily indicative of real world performance, especially when compared across different architectures. The Switch 2 will also be smaller/lighter than the Steam Deck so it's performance has to fit inside a much smaller thermal and power envelope. Using a 120hz VRR panel means 40 fps locks can be an option in handheld mode, which will be a noticeable upgrade over the current 30 fps standard on Switch 1. Games could also go uncapped and leverage VRR to keep things smooth.

    Call me a filthy casual but I really don't notice the difference between the last few generations of consoles, and pushing specs just for the sake of bragging rights is really pointless.

    With a bit of emulation upscale magic, I'm OK playing old games lol

    I still don't see the difference between PS4 and PS5 other than the loading times
