My m3 adapter has arrived! So ive decided to make a thread so if anyone has any questions or a particular rom to test on it, then fire away!
impressions:
flashed to latest firmware which apparently allows for good videos on it but unfortunately theres no way to use this feature currently as the software hasnt been updated to reflect these changes! (how retarded is that?). So i cant really speak about anything related to its movie functions which are currently identical to the original. I do like the fact that it isnt as tight a fit as the previous one so i dont feel as scared that my ds will ware away!. now on to compatability:
Works
SnesDs.ds.gba (with sound yey!)
nesDs.nds
official demos!
dslinux.ds.gba
ruby video.nds
ds goo.nds
heretic.ds.gba
hexen.ds.gba
scummvm.ds.gba
pocketspc.ds.gba
doesnt work
chisms cf driver
moonshell (they have their own version but it is v0.3 not 3p1)
ds multiboot
darkstar multiboot (oddly enough the one on fireflys web site partially works but with garbled graphics and a dead touchscreen but when you try and load a demo you get white screen)
At first i thought it didnt support much at all but i realised it seem you have to press start to load .nds and A to load ds.gba.
As far as the gba part goes its pretty flawless even the videos seem a bit improved and emus such as smsadvance work great on it. The nds functions though clearly arent finished and the interface needs lots of work since its currently just a fullscreen version of the previous one and makes no use of either the other screen or the stylus. Saying that though this is THE way to run homebrew on the ds nodoubt and once chism can get the cf reading working (hopefully by getting the information out of them!) and video functions working in ds mode this device will truely be perfect!
