Hacking The M3 Sakura FAQ

[thedicemaster]

g6/m3team told someone who told the community here that they where planning on making a G6version of m3sakura after m3sakura is released.

i just put sakura on my real. its really sweet

only one prob. what do you do to turn on soft reset? i found the option thingy, but the only option i see is off....

i be happier when english version comes out =)

 

[Toni Plutonij]

No Soft-Reset for now...There is a option, but it doesn't allow you to turn it on at the current state of firmware..
Soon official english should get released, and after that, I believe, they'll start to work on upgrading and fixing those stuff (soft reset, returning back to browser after configuring game, terminating or fixing resume play for video etc.)

Use GBA EXP Loader by Rudolph. I believe this the newest version: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=2482

When the Official English vers. gets released will it work on my CycloDS? Probably a dumb q. but I've not been following this at all.

You can get the DLDI version for the media playing capability but not for roms or homebrews. And of course the official English version won't work on the Cyclo. That is a slightly dumb question.

Can someone tell me what files I need, so I can have the Blue skin M3Sakura when I put it on my DS?
Do I just get the Full English M3 Sakura, then the Blue Skin Pack, then choose the skin when in the menu?
Do I need the 1st Service Pack also?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

[thedicemaster]

both the original and english blue skin are included in the latest hacked m3sakura package.
just tap it with your stylus and your screen should turn blue.

in the newer hacked m3sakura packages SP1 is included.
if you don't have it yet, some newer games require that you install it.

 

[Nottulys]

So to be clear just get the first Full English pack on the 1st page and I should be set?

 

[thedicemaster]

yes.
it includes everything up to date.

I'm have problems with my M3 GBA Rumble and RAM pack. The card is detected and RAM works (I tested the Internet Browser), but the pack doesn't rumble, even though the rumble is "On" in the NDS games.

Edit: Maybe it's because I'm using the hacked version of Sakura.

I have the same problem with the Rumble Ram Pack.

If I start the game through the M3 DS Real system, it rumbles, but if I start it through the M3 Sakura system, it doesn't.

I'm using the Triple Loader linked on the first post of this topic. Any ideas on why this is happening?

 

[Toni Plutonij]

Sakura is a new firmware, and as any new OS that is released, it needs to get updated and fixed..
It probably doesn't support rumble at the time, but probably will soon.....They have to work out few things that are just as important..(soft reset, and going back from config. menu)

 

[Pyoro]

Oh, ok!

I didn't see any other posts talking about lack of rumble, so I didn't know if it was happening to everyone or just a few (or maybe just those with the Rumble+Ram pack).

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

[Toni Plutonij]

No, I believe that Sakura at the moment doesn't support rumble at all...but don't worry, they'll fix that for sure (they won't drop support on expansion they sell together in a basic pack of M3 Real..

)

But, you're right, we haven't talked about that earlier..I haven't seen anybody reported that..

^ Rumble seems to work on sakura for me. I tried it in Metroid Prime Hunters. I went to the options screen and toggled rumble 'on' and 'of'f. When i changed it to 'on' it would rumble. Although having said that, I haven't exactly experienced it rumble in game..BUT! I only played for a minute or so and stopped.

Hope this helps.

 

[Pyoro]

daisun,

Do you have the Rumble+Ram pack or just Rumble pack (without ram)?

 

[thedicemaster]

i'm 99.9% certain rumble/ram's rumble works on anything.
i tested it a while ago, and it works even on an official metroid prime hunters.

but it's not really a good game to test with since it doesn't rumble often(space invaders extreme is better, has almost constant rumble)

Ohshit, I never knew that game had rumble! *starts playing*

 

[Toni Plutonij]

Well, I haven't tried rumble yet....Must be some individual problem then...
