So, I am possibly going to get M3i0 in future.

Since there is... actually really little to no info that can be got easily, I am forced to do what the uninformed one does:
Ask

so, I am now asking:

First, I am aware that fancy cart that M3i Zero is, includes fancy newfangled USB cords and ability to flash the cart without the need of fancy newfangled DS.

But the real question is: Is it already 1.4 compatible? How fast was M3 team at nin10doh's throat at patching the cart to work in 1.4, so if in future ninety releases 1.5, how fast could we wait M3 to act upon it, and receive satisfaction?


On other questions...
How well does copyprotected games work on M3i Zero, like Mario & bowser 3 or Phantasy star ETC. on newest firmware. My last experience with M3 was with M3 real a year ago, on unofficial Sakura hack firmware so I can be counted as "clueless as F*ck" at today's standards.

Also, is there any official source site for M3i0 downloads (the card flashing and firmwares etc.)

Thanks already, I hope my investigation turns out for the positive.

Last time it was their first fight against ninty with the 1.4 update but from now it wont take long, Its not already 1.4 compatible the cart ship fully blank to look legal you just have to copy the file called F_CORE.DAT to the root of your microSD and put in the usb flasher into the small whole in the cart, a red or blue LED will appear for about 30 seconds after that your M3i is flashed and will work with the 1.4 update(NOTE:It changes the icon to Danny Phantom urban Jungle to bypass the security)

Ok, I will definitely get one after I just get DSi system (XL probably) - seems sweet enough to get one.

And it is not crime to have another flashcart (since depending on place you live the first one is already a crime anyway... not here though)

Also, it depends does dealextreme still ship them with the trick link. I won't buy one from Local retailer, costs your left nut (50 in Dolalrs of US and A... just to give sense of costliness)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
