Hacking m3sakura is almost here!

[RevLTD]

Don't get your hopes up, latest translation from Support and Download:

M3さくらファームウェアは近日公開予定です。

（ M3REAL日本語版 および M3さくら 以外のハードウェアでは起動できません。）

The M3Sakura firmware is an upcoming schedule.

( It is not possible to start with hardware other than M3REAL Japanese version and
M3Sakura. )

 

[Swip]

It looks like its going to be a new card.

 

[strata8]

I think it's just a re-labeled M3Real.

I see you neglected to look at the downloads section...

Sakura M3 firmware is coming soon.

(Sakura Japanese version for M3Real only and other hardware can not be used.)

 

[Toni Plutonij]

..Is it possible that they'll region-lock the firmware, so that it will be only used for Japan version at first????

....Why, that would suck....

Japan Edition Sakura cart looks very nice....

 

[xJonny]

Well, hopefully all languages will be done soon.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

It is not a language that bothers me..We would make a translation as soon as it's released, but if firmware gets region lock, it's useless.....And it sux to wait even longer...

 

[Unchi-san]

It looks like its going to be a new card.

damn that looks very.... girly....

 

[xJonny]

I guess so, but we shall have to see.

Maybe is a bit....girlie....but design is so nice, it fits the name..I wouldn't mind getting this "special edition"..

Well yes, there's not much we can do..

 

[ridgecity]

They should make a M3 Oaktree, or G6 Pine wood, for us... pink. I can imagine already, "Hey neighbor! there's a pink box in the mail for you!"

 

[Joe88]

it should come in regular shipping package so no one has to know your little secret O.o

yay this is going to come out soon... now to wait for my M3 that i just order...

 

[Urza]

Region-lock is not difficult to patch.

 

[Wabsta]

If this is going to be Japanese only or Newcrappysakuracard only.
I'm going to be pissed. I'll trow my M3Real out of my window. And buy myself a CycloDS or something.
I'm like, waiting for this forever!

 

[Pyrofyr]

Wow, if this is another cart that's supposed to fall into the M3 Real/G6 family, they're retarded.

I'm still kinda pissed that they're working on this AND updating the firmware weekly for M3 Real, but can't drop one for a day or 2 and fix up TWEWY >_

 

[thedicemaster]

from what i understand the m3sakura card is simply the m3real with a different picture on the front.
and m3sakura firmware is for m3real, m3sakura, and later on also G6 cards.

 

[LukeDS]

So is Sakura being released at Midnight local time in Tokyo?

If so they are about 7 hours ahead of me { GMT +9 }... So I should be able to grab it, I don't know by about 5pm?

That is right, they said numerous times that Sakura firmware will be made for use with M3 Real, and when somebody asked them if it's a new cart, they said no, that it's a software..They made this "special edition" for their release party, but it is the same cart as M3 Real, but the label an package is different..
QUOTERegion-lock is not difficult to patch.

Thanks for reminding me Urza, I completely forgot about that..But, doesn't it take time to hack a firmware?

 

[Densetsu]

damn that looks very.... girly....
Even the Japanese have been saying the same thing

I was actually kinda surprised at how homophobic some of their responses are. One guy even claims to have called the developers of M3 Sakura and verbally harassed them and took jabs at their sexuality.

If you can read Japanese, check out this forum. The 8th post down is the one that talks about the phone call. Pretty funny stuff!

Here's another one (Japanese only). A lot of them are pissed off at having to wait, and all this time they've been just as much in the dark as we are. But all these guys do is flame Sakura and each other, and they're really harsh about it.

According to this source, the hardware of the M3 Sakura and the M3 Real Japanese version are identical (??????M3 DS Real???). Not exactly sure how reliable that source is, but I guess it doesn't even matter.

Thank you for confirmation..
There isn't much to wait, if they release Japan-only version..I'll contact you during the day, so we could arrange that translation project..
