Ok well I'll buy the M3DS early next month. I have some questions though. I have the one you posted (rumble pack edition) but I advise you get the ram edition (allows gba games)
Do cheats for Diamond and Pearl work? haven't tested the 3d codes but all the others work
Does it ever get cheatcode bugs? rarely, as long as you keep up-to-date (only ASM codes don't always work)
Does it have compatibility with Microphone games in Mario Party DS? (It's fine if it doesn't or you aren't sure but if you could test that, I'd appreciate it!) mic works perfectly as far as I know
Should I use the Sakura firmware or the M3DS Real one? I'm not sure what each one has. I use the M3DS real firmware, I've had sakura but it hangs with some games
And does it use .dat or .db files for cheats? .db (just place them in the system folder)
Thank you for the support! np
extra: music and movie functions also work nicely (DL the movie converter tough)
extra: easy to obtain or make new skins
extra: when you get it, make sure to place your NDS games in a folder named "NDS"(precisly that, not like "NDS-games" or something) and your GBA games in a folder named "GBA" and place those two on the root
All things you need to know, but I've got some things to add..
*If you already have a SLOT2 card (Like M3 Perfect), you don't need to buy another RAM pack, because the RAM is already built in the M3 Perfect. (or other cards, don't know which ones, I use my old M3 Perfect for RAM). It saves a lot of money!
*I recommend using Sakura firmware for videos and music (WITH RAM), it works niiiiiiiiice!
*It can use a lot of cheat files, but .db is the best one by far. It loads very fast, if you compare it to .DAT files.
*I think you know this, but it has download play support, and it works great.
*Multiplayer/Wifi work great too.
*Sakura firmware doesn't support much homebrew games (or just apps), but as far as I know, the normal M3 Real firmware supports all homebrew.
Ehh, I think you know enough now. If I were you, I would just buy an M3
(I'd like to have a CycloDS, but they're too expensive ;( )
Btw, this site gives you a lot of information about Sakura, and you can download Sakura Tools. (very handy, it has a video converter tool, image converter, skin editor and sound effects tool.)
@polle, hehe, I'm going to buy one too.. I hope with New Year or something :')
