Right now I am wondering if my decision to buy M3 card was a good one or not.
I have M3 card, but its Chinese language make. I stay in Korea and the only language version available is Chinese. I could not even find a Korean version, but that is besides the point.
M3 is for homebrew and all the goodie goodie stuff that is what M3 manufacturers claim it to be. The way I see it, its a way to overcome the restrictions Nintendo has put on such a lovely platform. If M3 is to overcome those barriers why do the manufacturers erect unnecessary and often irritating barriers. So what would we require? PassMe_M3too? M3 is doing exactly what SONY does with those silly PSP firmware upgrades.
WHY on FKING earth do they have language constraints? You cannot update the firmware from Chinese to English. That is great, because I cannot read Chinese.
Now I wonder if my decision was right or not.
Is this the case with supercard too? If it is not, I am going to buy their card immediately, dump my M3 and tell any prospective M3 buyers to think what they are doing.
My belief is that we use M3 for homebrew dev. I am trying to start working on my little apps. If things like region lock keep me from understanding what is written on the screen (press Start to update the frimware and A to skip. Read that in Chinese) for a flashcart that I bought, I do not see a point in buying M3. Infact to find out exactly what was being said, I had to take the help of a friend. Decrypting 1000 yrs of chinese language. That was what it was. Even now there is no respite. I know of a hacked firmware to put a v16 English firmware on the M3. Is that what I need to do? 'Paying' for buying M3?
-- End of rant --
Seriously, I would like to ask M3 to think about what they are doing and if they are not going to fix this, its just a matter of time before I spend that 50+ USD extra to buy an alternative (incase it exists).
I must apologise if this was an inconvenience to anyone, it just got onto my nerves.
