I don't know what the differences between the Deluxe, Compact, and regular versions are.

"Tom ,

The New EZ4 has 2 version , they are fully new design , like the shell (outer cases) of M3L , so the PCB will short than the EZ4 Lite TF Version. one version of the new EZ4 also can play the GBA rom and other cannot. but will it come with another color shells , we do not know now. the new EZ4 will comes at after 1~2 weeks . the EZ4 writer software will be same.

Br,

Lei"

Someone got a response. Deluxe will probably support GBA/NDS. Compact will probably just support the DS and will be a little shorter.

That response was from Winsunx though, wasn't it? Winsunx seem to enjoy making up stuff about unannounced products.

A bunch of M3 Lite pics have been posted. Looks very nice, but sticks out a tiny bit more than the dust cover. It's out in 2 days. Yaaay!!! I'll be ordering one from kicktrading as soon as he has them.

What is the speed of the GUI like? Is it slow and delayed? It looks nice and I am interested in it, but I don't want one that will be slow or anything.

If you've used Moonshell, it's actually a custom version of Moonshell but with touchscreen support and a few other featuers added on. I've never used an M3 myself, but I've never heard any complaints that the GUI is slow, so I would imagine it's not a problem. There are also lots of nice custom GUI's for it, including this fantastic Vista one (note: not all the buttons are functional, some are just for looks):

Hey guys! I have a weird problem.

I got StarFox Command (US) and i can't get it to run from the SD card. The only way i got it to run was make it run off of SuperCard ("ROM position patch" switched to "Super Card").

Oddly enough, i WAS playing it on "SD Card". But now all i get is a white screen on boot up.

My settings for that rom is:

- Saver Patch: SD Card

- ROM Position Patch: Super Card

[X] Enable Restart

[_] Enable Trim Rom

[X] Faster Play Game

[_] iQue Game

[_] Enable GBA Union

[X] Enable patch Cartridge acess

Any help from you guys? The odd thing is that it was running off of the SD Card before :blink:

Well i got a N:DS today, the only one in the shop was the nintendogs pack but oh well.

Anyway I know this thread has information but I wonder if someone can help me quickly.

All I want to do with my ds is have it so I can place games on a memory card and play them in the DS. Thats it. No movies, or mp3s or anything like that.

What equipment do i need? And where do I get it? I live in the uk!

Thanks

[fukachu]

talking about illegally running games on the DS is taboo here :p

any flash cart will do what you want to do.. but you shouldn't be lazy this thread has lots of information on the different carts.. but to put it short since you have the old fat ds since it is the nintendogs pack, you should get one of the old supercards or m3 setups that fit nicely in the ds fat. the new ones like supercard lite, m3 lite etc won't fit.

I didnt actually mention any illegal about games. I just want this, because I dont want to carry all my games around with me, when I can back them up on one small card. Alot easier for me.

you need a SuperKey or a PassCard3 and a M3 Lite or a SuperCard (Lite or not).

that's it.

aaaand i fixed my problem. i backed up my SD card, formatted it, repatched star fox (same settings) and copied over: it worked again :rolleyes: :blink: :p :)

If i read his post correctly he has a ds fat not lite so the m3 lite and supercard lite models will not fit.

[Danrarbc]

SwitchBlade will want the MiniSD versions of the cards for a flush-fitting look.

[Ji@nBing]

Kicktrading has the M3 Lite in stock. The M3 Lite alone has sold out already, but he still has the Passcard 3 bundle as of now.

[»X«]

So how much GBP will the one I want cost? I only want it for games, not movies or music

[tlogank]

RealHotStuff.com has the M3Lite shipping now as well...this would probably be a cheaper option for those in the USA as s/h would be cheaper.

I just ordered the bundle.. I wish it didnt cost that much . :( .. $142CDN after shipping.

Ji@nBing: is this bundle in English (dunno if there is another language or not)?

Edited September 2, 2006 by rayjin

[Ji@nBing]

Yep. This is the English version. I had to order the bundle too. I already have a Superkey so I don't need the passcard. If anyone is looking for one, make me an offer ;)

Great stuff.. I can't wait for it to arrive.... BTW, which MicroSD do you recommend?

[Hooya]

Get a big one. Aparantly the Ultra II versions (with 60x write speed) for whatever brand that is perform slightly better than the normal versions, but I haven't encountered any problems with my vanilla Kingston 1gig.

[Ji@nBing]

Kingston are good for M3 apparently. Basically get as fast as one as you can find. Reports thus far are that the M3 Lite doesn't share the same preformance boost over the other versions that the SC Lite did.

What's vanilla Kingston... is that the color of the card??? I've seen a red Kingston microSD.. not sure what speed those are.

Is this because the M3 was already good before?

By vanilla he meant ordinary ;)

[Ji@nBing]

Is this because the M3 was already good before?

Well, it was already good before, but the SC Lite has a vast improvement in preformance with all brands of cards over previous versions of the SC. For instance, with the Castlevania video test (the into movie to Castlevania is used as a standard for preformance), the M3 Lite still gets severe stutters with a vanilla Sandisk. The SC runs it perfectly smooth with all cards. On the other hand, the SC Lite still hasn't caught up with the M3 in terms of GBA preformance. But the SC Lite is a clear imrovement over previous SC's in terms of speed. The M3 Lite, from what I've heard till now, has little to no speed increase over previous M3's.

[Ji@nBing]

:woot: My M3 Lite has been shipped by Kicktrading and will be here in a few days. Can't say enough good things about kicktrading. He was out of just the M3 Lite and only had the M3 Lite/Passcard 3 bundles left, so I ordered that. I told him in the confirmation mail that I don't need the Passcard 3, so he offered to break up one of the bundles and just sell me the M3 Lite. Great service, unlike Divineo who stole my money :angry: .

On a side note, the DS-X will be out on the 18th. It will be interesting to see some reviews.
