Hacking What Version Of The M3DS Real Should I Get?

[nonnonnon]

you should order it from http://www.m3real.net/buy.php
it is cheap and fast and ships worlwide. i trust it because i ordered one myslef and get it in about 2 weeks, live in Norway!

I'd recommend going for the full package (with GBA expansion) from the start - then the expansion only adds about $10 to the price, instead of $20+

when you factor in a second shipping cost for the second order, you'd be saving at least $14, which is nearly the cost of the expansion. And it is worth it - in addition to some fantastic GBA games out there, you'll also find some homebrew that just won't work without some extra memory (Quake2DS anyone?). I didn't think I'd need it at first either, but mine was ordered within a week of receiving my M3, and my only regret since is that I basically paid more than twice what I could have ($10 vs $26).

On DealExtreme you save less than half a dollar if you buy it in the bundle and shipping is free. I'd just get the Rumble bundle and use it for awhile. When you do feel like you want to play GBA games get the expansion pack, but again I doubt it. Save yourself the $17.50.

I think I will. I mean, I don't care about GBA ROMs, as I can just use the carts. And rumble seems pointless, but at least I'll have the option. Oh, and so long as ScummVM and Anguna work, it's worth the money.

Thanks all. That should be it.

Okay, I have a problem.

The pictures on DX show the card as being top-loading. That means that it's a fake, no?

Problems, problems.

I don't know... but that's a good question.

This is the picture on the M3adapter.com website:

But this picture is also hosted on the website:

In conclusion... still don't know.

Well that changes things then... I went with RealHotStuff.com because they're the closest to me, took less than a week to get here (And I hear that DealXtreme takes close to a month). Guess I paid a little extra due to lack of patience

After checking out the whole M3adapter website I've come to the conclusion that the side loaders are the new M3 DS Real cards while the top loader are the older versions. Now, I believe the top loader version is previewed on the DealExtreme website because they're just old pictures... No guarantees though. I ordered two cards 5 days ago so I won't know for sure until I receive them. I like the side loader though, makes it harder to spot that you're playing a flash cart.

My Real is top-loading and is not fake.

So, when you receive yours, if you post here what it is, that'd really help.

Although, they might just be old pictures.

The old M3 - shipped prior to this year were top loaders

The new ones - dealextreme have been sending these since the new year are side loaders.

The link I have you on dealextreme will get you a genuine (they sell the fakes but list them seperately) when it comes it will have a side loader.

So have you ordered from them this year or something?
