My new M3 Real and a Sandisk Class 4 speed 6gb microSDHC stick should arrive in another day or two. Can't wait. Once I get playing around with it, I'll post back results on how well the 6gb SDHC card works as well as my opinion on the newer M3 Real's build quality. I have seen a few complaints about it being somewhat flimsy.

This sucker should turn out to be handy. I have a long flight to Japan in a few months. The DS with M3 should be a nice distraction over the some 24 hours the trip takes door to door.

Has anyone determined how long a DS Lite lasts with the M3 Real running? Does it affect battery life? Maybe I can buy a spare battery, charge it, and store it as a backup for the flight. Surely the battery won't last the entire trip.

I picked up a cool app the other day. DVDFab Plat. The latest version is capable of backing up your DVD movies to NDS (DPG) format. Very handy if you want to watch your films on the DS. I tried using various freeware apps before that. It use to be time consuming and troublesome to convert, demux, and batchdpg the files back together. But with freeware you get the benefit of no cost. I guess it depends on whether the cost is justified to buy a commercial app over freeware.

Anyone know of a decent program for DSM conversion? I haven't played with DSM's much... I have heard conflicting stories that DPG is better than DSM. Others say DSM is better. No idea.

Glad to see system updates coming out relatively frequently for the M3!

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
