Ownership verified by DX a sturdy, cheap cart
Posted by autobook on 4/8/2009
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Price: starstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: - Supports SDHC
- is compatible with the M3 Sakura Firmware
- Has Realtime Save for NDS ROMs
- Ram Pack for use with Nintendo DS browser

- GBA Expansion pack for playing GBA roms
- Supports GBA Cheats

- Supports NDS Cheats

- Automatically DLDI patches DS homebrew which requires FAT Support

- Can be used with the iTouch DS Firmware

Cons: - Cheaply Built

- Held together by clips instead of screws

- Default loader is hideous and annoying to use

Other Thoughts: The M3 team is being boycotted by many currently due to them refusing to pay moonlight (the maker of the sakura firmware) for his work

Bottomline: good cart, good features, cheap, bad team, crummy default gui

Ownership verified by DX Works very well

Pros: Works like a charm - with the GBA expansion pack, you're able to play GBA games. DS games that I've tried so far function without any problems whatsoever.
The quality of the product is acceptable.
All parts are flush-fitting.
Able to play multimedia files without problems as well.

Cons: The side-loading slot for the micro-sd is different than what I'm used to with the N5 Revolution. You always have to remove the flashcart completely in order to access it.
The price! I couldn't believe it cost so much, but I wanted the bundle pack, so I just went ahead and purchased it.

Other Thoughts: I chose to use the M3Sakura firmware and have been very pleased with the user interface. I just wish there were more skins and themes available for customization.

Bottomline: If you have the money for this, and really want the bundle (rumble pack, flash cart, and gba expansion), then this will fit your needs. I just wish it was more affordable!

Ownership verified by DX Great flashcard

Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Price: starstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstar

Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: - Ease of use -> Lots of features, easy to use and navigate.
- The feature that i really like about this flash card is that it has real time saving feature.
- Can use the M3 sakura triple loader.

Cons: - Firstly the build quality is not that great. It is easily breakable.
- Quite expensive compared to other flash cards. I bought it coz of the real time saving feature.
- Cannot use the card reader with sdhc cards.
- Slower writing speed when using the given card reader compared to a mini card reader that i bought from DX.

Other Thoughts: - If the quality build of the m3 ds real had been better it would have definitely been a great advantage coz then it would be usable longer without breaking up.

Bottomline: - Getting the In Game Menu (eg like in the cyclod) for the same price would have been great :P

Pros: * 100% Compatibility with NDS and GBA ROMs
* In-Game RTS for NDS and GBA is stable
* NDS/GBA Linkage fully supported
* NDS/GBA cheat support is comprehensive
* Newly released Sakura firmware is intuitive, and functional
* MicroSDHC slot is now on the side, making the M3 look *identical* to a genuine card while in use
* TouchPod firmware has excellent support for Homebrew
* A well-formatted MicroSD suffers no crashing in Portrait of Ruin
* The Rumble Pack beats the EZ3in1 (practically a buzzer) hands down

Cons: * Slight lag is experienced in the Dawn of Sorrow intro FMV
* MicroSDHC slot is on the side of the cart, meaning that the cart must be removed from the DS in order to modify its contents
* Sakura currently has poor Homebrew Support
* If the most recent game to be run is a GBA game, and the GBA Expansion is not inserted, the corresponding save-file is blanked (same with NDS-GBA Linkage)

Other Thoughts: Personally, I love Side-Loading Flashcarts, so hearing about this was an absolute blessing. Plus the fact that it works with Pokemon/Advance Wars on GBA, this was a must for me.
Some GBA games will lose their saves, however this has always been remedied for me by setting the loading type to "Patch", and keeping the GBA Expansion pack in the DS.

Bottomline: I would say that this is currently the best setup for a DS/DS Lite (the expansion packs have a Phat-sized shell). Most definitely worth it.
