New M3 DS Simply Photos and Information!

Does anyone know if download play works to non-flashed DSs on this?

 

[HugeCock]

You know last year each product had very different pros and cons, the SC, M3, G6, Neogarbage....I forget anything? Don't think so...each card had it's own pros and cons...even with Flashcarts the efa had USB on cart while EZFlash had a cradle..point being each cart had differences....these all seem to be the same slot 1 products.....2 flavors...built in memory and supply your own. It seems like there is no reason to buy one one slot 1 solution over the other besides fanboy support these days...and updates....so it really comes down to who comes up with the CHEAPEST kit...I dunno that's what I think at least....way too many kits on the market now that are all the same

How about updates/support?

nice to see a M3 slot 1, too bad it´s almost sure it´s going to be the most expensive of all..

If thats true, you are advising the following:
Everybody buy a Ultraflashpass or a Acekard.


While you definately know that they both suck,There is still factors like rom compatability and homebrew compatability!

I like the slot 2 device simply because it fits perfectly and I can keep a real game in the top.


Slot 2 requires patching, slot 1 does not. This means that slot 1 has much greater potential for compatibility.

Slot 1 devices also fit "perfectly" into the slot 1 area, so I don't see the problem here honestly.

Slot-2 doesn't immediately mean "patching", and neither does slot-1 mean "no patching".
For example, the Neo2-SD, runs from GBA Slot-2, yet works without 'patching'(albeit the product itself sucks

)
I assure you every card that says "No patching required",slot-1 or not, patches the game the moment you choose to launch it.

Just clearing up some stuff

One thing I do know for certain: Patching breaks download play

#1 Acecard requires software so it's not the same product.
#2 Ultraflash can be compared to Neocrap as the support from what I understand is not there

Here is the thing, I have 2 G6's, 3 M3's, 2 SC, a handful of Neo garbage, and a crap load of other carts....My point is the M3, G6 and SC are all essentially the same...they all get updated right off the bat when a game gets dumped, they all have VERY high compatibility in playing DS roms.... I don't have any problems with any of them. A year ago I would have said M3 > SC because of slowdowns, I think at one point compatibility...but now they are essentially the same. These new slot 1 kits all promise the same shit, 100% no patching compatibility....none of em do that currently and there is what like 5? however they do try and create patches or updates quickly to address the problem. So now all I see is Slot 1 device that plays games without patching, ie. Drag and drop. I know have what 14 choices on the mater? Don't get me wrong...this is the slot 1 kit I will be getting because M3 has been here nearly since the start of DS backups and I use G6 and M3 the most as my slot 2....it's just every kit seems to be the same promising the SAME thing. Even my original M3 had problems with certain SD cards in the START and no kit is PERFECT....I have almost every slot 2 kit and none are perfect...G6 is the closest suffering only a slow transfer time for me...but again none are perfect and I am betting since it looks like they are all based off the same technology M3 users will be waiting on updates as well.

We have competition here, Neoflash in the start was able to shit in a box and sell it cause nobody else could compete, then we had people like SC and M3 say here is our version oh and we give updates. Now we are hit with a wave of slot 1 kits all promising the same thing so they will all need to offer support to stay in the game and now it comes down to price. (Slowdowns will be the only other thing to kill a product) waiting for updates however won't. I don't give a shit what company is there your still gonna be dealing with....OMG DSX plays Pokemon while PocketNinja doesn't..my kits better lolz...OMG PocketNinja plays Test Tube Babiez while DSX doesn't...now my kits better lolz....

Too many kits on the market. Some may argue it's good for competition, but the market is being saturated to the point where no one kit will have a decent enough userbase to justify support.

It makes me sad, there are WAY too many kits now. Every day some new "team" comes out of the woodwork to display their wares. I've been sitting out for some time now, because I've been burned too many times early adopting.

I'm going to continue to sit out until one of these cards proves better than the others.

 

[faceless]

as far as support goes, it now comes down to reputation...

do you trust some new team...

some team that was succesful doing something else...

or some team that was around handhelds for years???

their long histories are why i think i the end, EZ-Flash V, M3 Simply and SC DS will be the ones left standing...

and i'll be getting one of those three...

Does anyone know if download play works to non-flashed DSs on this?

This is the same as the R4, so the answer is not yet. Download play works for some games, but not for others, even if the client is flashed

 

[undyingforce]

ive been holding out for a slot 1 solution everysince i found this site (not very long ago)

cant wait for the reviews

 

[mr_blonde_88]

so yeah, there are shit loads of slot1 cards being announced

but once reviews start hitting the web, all the ones that are shite will be ignored
there may be 14 slot1 cards out
but 10 of them ppl wont touch cus reviews say they suck

(note: the two figures are just examples of amounts)

 

[melrose]

There's really no point in argueing over which is better until the products are actually released and reviews are made. There's too many factors (i.e. cost, development team, support, and product's functionality) that could effect which product comes out on top.

While there does seem to be a ton of new cards coming out, keep in mind they won't make it in time for Christmas. Most of the products are on pre-order, and won't be availiable till next week. Next week, websites will recieve the products and will likely have to do inventory on the product or whatnot. After that, they can be orderd and shipped, and that will likely take another few days, either making the products just miss Christmas time or will be delivered after the holidays. Besides, all the first batches will likely be sold out too quickly.

We should all just sit back for a bit.

Homebrew support, IO lib will release on launch .

Funniest thing I have heard all day. All these cart companies are going to release IO libs on launch, but not a one mentions whether or not they will work, or for that matter will be pre-compiled junk (like previous M3 lib releases) yet again.

 

[cenotaph]

What would be the point in releasing anything at all then? It'll work, though the method of implementation might not satisfy (everyone).

QUOTEor for that matter will be pre-compiled junk (like previous M3 lib releases) yet again.

This is more probable, considering M3 team's history.

 

[EriCKY]

I will be reviewing one of these on QJ as well

 

[sabinraijin]

I don't know about being a fanboy, but what I DO know is that the M3 team already has a proven track record updating their firmware quicker (and more often) than any other card on the market. THAT'S the deciding factor for me, HugeCock. You can talk about them being the same all you want, but you know that what makes them different is the fact that the M3 solution will have much better firmware support than the rest.

 

[Sinkhead]

If anyone has something they want me to test out in particular, I'll be reviewing one of these within2 weeks or so. Just PM me.

But not all give what they promise, some are just trying to enter the market, while others we already knew they would be coming (This M3 Simply, SC DS, maybe soon a G6 Simply?), since they have been around for some time.

But Lets face it... acekard tried to enter the market and failed (or at least i think so... i had hopes for this one), and like this one DS-Link also has a bad story, and some others. This is Just like the slot-2 devices, there are lots that we have never even heard off, or at least they passed unoticed in here.

But we all know M3 has given us quality (Fix the PDA please

) with all of its products, so i dont think they would change suddenly and start giving us bad support.
