Hacking m3sakura is almost here!

[Maikel Steneker]

Anyways, I just browsed trough the files on my PC, it looks like it doesn't use the same way of setting GBA and NDS games..Skinning files are completely gone..and there are three skin files on this thing! (I'm guessing for three languages)..
But still, I'll have to boot it to confirm this..

That's what they say in the changelog as well. There's no English though...

 

[Toni Plutonij]

So will skinning sakura change now?
I'm guessing yes, at least some parts..
We'll have to wait and see! (also, we don't know the form/dimensions of the new pictures for skinning system, in case if they really did change it, so we'll probably have to wait for the new compiler to come out!)

Yeah, I was just stating that I couldn't find any kind of pictures (except loading screens), so this version of Sakura should be even more faster and sleeker!

Let's discuss this release.

1. Yay, they changed the Sakura cherry symbol to something more international.
2. Does Sakura have RTS now?
3. Any idea what 'Goldfinger' is? It sounds as if it is Sakura's built-in cheat engine.

Anyway, I feel the US/EUR firmwares are coming very soon. Do you, too?

 

[gangsterboi]

Goldfinger; isn't it a james bond game?

So this new release is a full release, by the m3team. I Hope the us/eu firmware comes out soon. I have a real in my mums bedroom waiting for christmas day. And an iphone for my birthday but i'll open that early.

If the skinning has changed a lot it'll meen a lot of changes for the al ready made skins. Do current skn files work with this new release?

 

[Toni Plutonij]

Goldfinger is actually the way they are referring to cheating (I don't know why, but I've seen it in the EZ-Flash manager too)..

 

[gangsterboi]

Oh, thats wierd. Don't know what is has to do with cheating; I thought it related more to the game.

Aslo let me get this straight on what is on offer to do with firmware's and m3team.
- Touchpod for m3/g6
- Itouch firmware for itouch
- sakura for m3/itouch
- sakura triple boot for m3/itouch
- sakura dual boot for m3?
- sakura for other carts, r4, ace etc
I don't understand why there are so many different versions why have a dual and triple boot?

I don't understand why there are so many different versions why have a dual and triple boot?

We've gone over this a bit... Homebrew and visual preference.

But I'd agree with the 'Stick to one thing' idea.

The new update is likely coming from gbalpha
google translated
Looks like they put up a new DSM converter as well. If my memory of M3 perfect is good, normally there is a day or two lag until other regions are posted on the official/international M3 site - in this case though, going by what I've read recently regarding RTS in the next Sakura the actual main goal was for Chinese/Korean localization.

By asian, does it mean chinese? Japanese? Or someother asian language (arabic)?

From the gbalpha post: Asia (including: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean)

 

[ahtin]

my M3DSR is Asia version

but I only got a DSi now

I will put some photo or video here after home

Wow, this is good news! It seems from the changelog that they re-coded Sakura (from scratch maybe?). That would explain why it took so long. Now it seems Sakura and Touchpod share the same boot engine from that translation. If so that means you can change the screen for GBA games without booting M3R! This would be a nice Christmas gift from M3 if we get the english version soon.

 

[wilsonramal]

So..that's why it took so long! . Cool

I have this feeling that the official english version will be ready before christmas!

 

[dukenukethis]

Triple boot sakura is working good for me, but I always do prefer using official versions of things that are "unofficial" themselves.

 

[Sportsmaniac1322]

So what's so good about M3 recoding Sakura?

 

[AXYPB]

There are several problems with Sakura that have yet to be addressed. A rewrite could mean that they've been fixed.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

So what's so good about M3 recoding Sakura?

What AXYPB said, recoding could possibly mean that they made GBA/NDS settings section much nicer and implemented better..Also, the whole functionality will be better, skinning will work even better, and the whole product will get more of a "professional" feeling..

The last job was a bit rushed, if this version can be region hacked I will be pleased.

Goldfinger is actually the way they are referring to cheating (I don't know why, but I've seen it in the EZ-Flash manager too)..

The Goldfinger by KenSingTon is apparently the popular cheat engine in China. It's heavily based (if not ripped off of) the Action Replay/Gameshark. That's why you won't see Team Cyclops refferring to it in that manner. You may still be able to find the Goldfinger for GBA on DealExtreme.

Ahhh, thanks for clearing that up..I mean, I knew it was something like that, just wasn't completely sure!!

No problem. And speaking of the devil, here it is: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6165
I'm also pretty sure their GBA flashcards use it too. The term 'Goldfinger' is as popular as the RM format
