No problem. Here's the original hacked firmware by iamanobody. It is identical to the official Japanese release, except that it's been modified to boot on an English M3 Real cart.Samidare said:

Yeah, I was referring to the software included on the CD and whatnot (as the poster below you mentioned), but I was unable to wait any longer, caved, and bought the M3 Sakura. It should be coming in the mail early this week.
Tokyo is interesting, but by no means beautiful... unless you like concrete lol. Gotta get far out of the city to see what little beauty Japan has to offer that isn't obstructed by hideous electricity poles and wires.
You went to Takayama?! I love that place! I lived in Gifu for 4 years, in a small country town called Kamiishizu. It's right next to Sekigahara, where the most important battle in Japanese history was fought. Takayama is a 5-hour trip north from Kamiishizu. And I have to agree, you can't match the warmth of the good-hearted country folk. The vast majority of people in Tokyo are indifferent at best, rude and even belligerent at worst. Of course, there are plenty of exceptions, since I was able to make a lot of friends in Tokyo as well, but in the countryside, people are much, MUCH friendlier. My next door neighbors were an elderly couple who always brought me persimmons and all kinds of vegetables from their gardenshiroitaka said:I also went to tsumago. hida takayama, kanazawa and kyoto. The mountain areas in tsumago were amazingwe took the old shogun route and stayed in traditional ryoken (spellings??)
I'll have to send you a PM later about learning Japanese, since I don't want this to get more off-topic than it already isshiroitaka said:Sorry for lots of off topic too
never got to go to the onsenwas only there for one day 2 nights just managed to walk around seeing the beautiful less visited shrines (made our offerings to the kami) and temples. it snowed whilst we were there and was amazingmy soul belongs in Japan.
What would your advice be on learning japanese i would love to be able to learn it both for a return visit and to help out on the translation of FW/SW.
And you heard anymore news on a official english release date or possible addition of new features?
might help if you actually did what m3sakura tells you to first.opqaz900 said:
I have a couple Japanese M3 Reals (bought one off of Amazon.jp, one in Akiba) but when loaded with the linfoxdomain firmware version 1.11x mentioned above no commercial NDS roms will load (though they do with normal M3 Real firmware).Densetsu3000 said:
Sorry about that, I just realized that linFox domain hosts version 1.11 (from M3Sakura.jp), not 1.11X (from HandHeldSources). I just downloaded both the one on linFox and HHS and the files aren't even the same size.tapedump said:I have a couple Japanese M3 Reals (bought one off of Amazon.jp, one in Akiba) but when loaded with the linfoxdomain firmware version 1.11x mentioned above no commercial NDS roms will load (though they do with normal M3 Real firmware).
Upon copying the SP1 startnds.ext file to SYSTEM they will appear to load with the "Reboot" meter filling but freeze at a black screen.
Pardon the query, but are we certain that M3Sakura_v1.11_Japanese.zip from linfoxdomain.com will run commercial ROMs? The garbled kanji in the RAR pack isn't instilling confidence.
Note the English version works fine and I commend you all, it's just that the wife would prefer the Japanese interface (and wants her commercial ROMs working).
Thanks,

You're welcome. Also, did you live in Kansai, or is your wife from there?tapedump said:Sweet, that's what I was looking for.
I'll try it out once the wife gets done.
????????????????????????
Awesome! Oh, just so you know, use of the "negative imperative" form (???) makes it sound like you're pissed off or somethingUnless you have a really close relationship to the person you're speaking to, you probably shouldn't use it. I didn't take offense to it, but some Japanese people might. All I'm saying is, be careful.
