I've looked everywhere for the answer to this problem, it doesn't seem that anyone else has it?

I have the M3-iSakuReal_v1.0 loaded in an M3 Real cart.
This problem only occurs when using Sakura's native media player (which is the one I want to use). I know that it CAN work fine, I've seen it on YouTube.

Audio Files:
- When I play a .mp3 file, the audio skips at the 4 second mark. This is the same for all of my .mp3's.
- When I leave the folder or navigate to another folder while the media is still playing, it skips and then skips again another 9-10seconds later.
- There is no skipping when I select the next or previous track buttons, only if the track is selected with the stylus or the A button.

Video Files:
- When I play a .dpg file, the audio and video skip at the 4 second mark and then again at the 10 second mark.
- There is still the same skipping if I select the next or previous track buttons.
- I have encoded the .dpg's using different methods and programs. Same result.

I have not seen this same phenomena with the M3 Real boot or moonshell 1.71+1 run through Sakura.

Can someone shed some light on what is going on here and a possible fix?

Thanks for any help

EDIT: - I reformatted the 8GB and updated the firmware to M3-iSakuReal_v1.3 - still have the same problem.
- I installed the M3 Sakura 1.12+1 firmware (ie NOT the triple boot) on another 256MB card and still have the same problem.

This is telling me that there is either a problem with the media files (doubtful) or the DS itself (or the compatibility of the Sakura to this DS). Or is there something else I'm missing?

EDIT: - I tried installing the M3 Sakura 1.11+1 firmware on the 256MB card, .mp3's now skip at the 5 and 10 second mark.

EDIT: - Tried it on a brand new DS and I still have the same problem. The common factor here seems to be the M3 cart itself, I will try another one later today hopefully.

EDIT: I have now tried it on another M3 Real cart with the same results.

This option is supposed to help with media playback issues, so it's worth a shot.

1) Boot up the M3 Real and press start.
2) Go to GUI Settings.
3) Scroll down to the very bottom and uncheck "Enable FastStart movie playback."

Try playing a movie or an MP3 and see if it'll work better.

EDIT: Also, if you have something to add to a post, don't just post again. Use the edit button at the bottom and add whatever you need to add to your original post. That keeps the forum clean.

Oops, sorry about that. Thanks for the reply, I had tried this previously, still no change. Any other ideas?

    huh that's cool, never seen those
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I could still always use my old android phone as a mp3 player but I get lost in the music and miss calls that way

    Hey guys @realtimesave and @Sicklyboy. Anybody that I had missed?

    Thanks for the like and then taking it away
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It's been discontinued but you can find em second hand. It's the FiiO model K1.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ nice. I've been using my BTR5 pretty much daily, got it in late 2020. Mostly use it as a desktop DAC though and the battery has already swelled up in it once, so I had to replace it. Some day I gotta grab a proper desktop DAC that doesn't have a battery lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Yeah, cheap and nasty earbuds don't deliver the best mids, they end up sounding really muddy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I got mine around 2022 (iirc) and it was brand new, never opened, and for £15 too compared to paying nearly £30 elsewhere.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, That sucks when the battery already begins to swell up. You considering on a desktop replacement, and if so, which one?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ damn 15 is shockingly cheap for that. Even 30 feels like a good price just given what a bunch of other FiiO stuff costs. Granted, not familiar with what those were originally selling for, so who knows lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As far as a replacement for my BTR5, I don't really have my eyes set on anything specific yet but it'll likely be from either Fiio or Schiit Audio.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Better than tree fiddy
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, Originally when it came out, they sold for around $40 USD according to FiiO's news bulletin. https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/54677.html

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I would prefer FiiO as the better brand for a USB DAC.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like headphones reached a peak even ones from ten years ago sound better than new ones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, all depends how much money you wanna spend. I had skullcandy headphones and shit way back when but I never liked anything as much as the headphones (and earbuds) I use nowadays

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ yeah fwiw I've been quite happy with my FiiO BTR5 so I don't have any specific reason to not a FiiO again. Just gotta see what's available and how much I'm trying to spend lol

    O GOD I see @BigOnYa
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    I have the FiiO X1-ii, and love what it does, but the battery life is kinda ass and the sluggish, unresponsive menu makes me regret my purchase a little.
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    has anyone here played botw randomizer for switch?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    (not the wii u version, specifically the switch version)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Frankly not. That's like a 'cheat engine' for BoTW, right?
