Hopefully sold at reputable resellers (ie. Not Linker4U..)
#50167 - The_Mayor87 - Sat Aug 06, 2005 4:27 am
is the price known?
#50270 - Dude-man - Sun Aug 07, 2005 9:34 am
Ahh...my head hurts from just thinking of how much it might be.

Pretty much an arm and a leg is my guess
Anyone got a hacksaw?
#50298 - rkenshin - Sun Aug 07, 2005 10:49 pm
Well it shouldn't cost that much.. Similar to the Supercard but expensive by $20 (since it's more advanced and doesn't require patching for games to cheat and save)

Hi,
Thanks for your interesting our products.
M3 adapter has not sold now. M3 will be put out about 2 weeks later. We will
have our agents in every country and district, and you can contact our agents
for purchasing our products.
We will inform you after our products have been put out formally.
Different places have different prices. The estimated retail price of M3 perfect
-SD version is around USD 88-96 range, and M3 perfect -CF version is around USD
80-88 range .
M3 can run more than 256 M roms.
Regards
Danny

looks like it will be around 80 dollars without shipping for the cf version, and if you look at m3adapter.com it now states that the product will be out on August 30th, adn the name has been changed to M3perfect due to the fact that the gba and nds verison of the m3 are the same now. It also says that it will be able to run clean dumps of nds roms over 256meg.

does anyone else think this M3 adapter is a fake?!
It sound too good to be true in my opinion.
Hope it is real mind you ;)

Well, it sound too good indeed, but according to some, this is from the same makers as the g6flash, which has been around for some time I believe (earlier versions).
#50938 - Veg - Sun Aug 14, 2005 7:35 pm
Assuming all that they claim is true (about which I have doubts), what advantage does one flash media have over the other?
CF M3 or SD M3? Is one be faster? Cheaper media? Why have they bothered making two different models?
#50943 - tepples - Sun Aug 14, 2005 7:55 pm
CF is based on ATA, and SD is based on SPI. (Almost all MMC cards support SPI as well.) Neither interface has any known essential patents that would apply to card readers. SD does have a smaller form factor, which may allow for a smaller unit or make it easier to lay out the parts on the PCB.

are SD cards generally cheaper?
#50969 - tepples - Sun Aug 14, 2005 11:32 pm
SD cards and CF cards of the same brand and capacity were priced the same at the Meijer store that I visited on Friday.

Anyone here have a G6 revision 1 or 2 and can say whether it is a good/reliable/versatile cart (lives up to their advertising) or not?
#51011 - Shoxz - Mon Aug 15, 2005 11:47 am
Are they the exact same except one doesnt accect SD/CF cards? Any other diffrences?

just a sec... does this require a passme in the top of the DS aswell as the unit in the GBA slot?
if that's what you need to do, this thing does seem a little more viable than I previously thought.
#51047 - Shoxz - Mon Aug 15, 2005 9:53 pm
Unless you have Flashme.

The manufacturer said that the M3 will require a PassKey for using NDS funtions.
The PassKey is different than a PassMe and is said to have/use an additional instruction which the PassMe doesn't have.
#51066 - eXceL - Tue Aug 16, 2005 1:15 am
So if I get the M3 do I still need to get a reader/writer for the CF card or does the M3 work as a reader/writer too?
#51068 - tepples - Tue Aug 16, 2005 2:04 am
It'll work as a reader only if the case has a mini-USB port like the EFA-Linker has.

do you think that someone could put a serial interface in the m3 passkey?

So would I be better off just buying a reader/writer or a USB-to-Mini cable?
Also, would a 512MB CF card be a good size? Could I fit a movie and some homebrew stuff onto that? You can put multiple .nds files onto the M3 right? I'm going to start coding when I get my M3, it'll be great.

If you are not experienced in this sort of thing, wait until reviews and tutorials come in before making decisions. Baseless speculation belongs in the offtopic forum.

so, hang on, just to clarify in my mind...
out the box, the M3 will NOT be able to boot .NDS files off an SD card?
in addition to the M3 i'll also need a pass through device such as the Neoflash if i want to boot .nds files?
i'm surprised this is making me look so dim ;)
#51103 - Veg - Tue Aug 16, 2005 12:26 pm
AFAIK, untll a 'real' DS re-writable cartridge that actually goes into the DS slot is created, you'll always need a PassMe (or whatever they choose to call it) in there.
The only way around having to use a physical PassMe is to use a virtual one - the FlashMe - but I don't know if the M3/G3 will be able to take advantage of it.
