<Center><i>M3 Adapter is made for those who want to download freeware games, movies and music from a PC to a GBA(SP) and/or Nintendo DS.</i></center></a>

Here is the manufacturers quote incase you have no idea what this does...


M3 Adapter is an amazing product for those who want to download free games, movies and music from a PC to a GBA(SP) / NDS. You can use your PC and normal Compact Flash Card Reader to transfer and convert you movie & music files to the Compact Flash Cards. Then, insert M3 Adapter with CF/SD Card into GBA(SP) / NDS, and it will be available after boot up the console.

Its feature just the same as any other MP3 Player on the market but also playing the games, movies instead of playing music only.

One of the coolest feature of a M3 Adapter is that you can directly run third party software on it – that includes emulators of the video game system.

NES, FC ,SNES, GB, GBC, SMS, GG, PCE Rom and more …

The M3 website posted news about the 20th last week. This isn't a new story. As fare as Divineo getting it in on the 20th... Divineo has it for preorder and as far as I have seen have never posted a date.

so what one do you guys find better the M3, or the supercard? just trying to get diffrent oppinions before i shell out all this cash.

[Asphalter]

The software isn't complete for the M3 adapter, so comparisions shouldn't be made yet.

From what I know right now, the M3 is the superior product (due to ROM support and overall package).

well it's not the 30th of august like it was supposed to be, but 11 days isn't too bad, lets hope they don't delay it again.

supercard is far inferior, don't waste your time or money with it. the m3 software is in fact complete and testing is finished on the unit btw. i'm buying one asap.

[Freakshock]

When I look at the Supercard review I wonder how M3 compares to its pro's and con's:


- Simple patch procedure for commercial roms (Does M3 have this too?)
- Save game management a bit fiddly ( How does M3 save?)
- Some 512meg roms don't work (Do they all work with M3?)

Thanks to anyone who has some awnsers:)

FOR M3:
- No patching is required for either type, gba/nds
- Saves onto the boot cart and can be backed up to cf/sd i belive.
- They've told me in e-mails that it will run any size ds rom. I assume it's done on the fly.

so yeah, supercard blows:)

SC doesnt suck, but it is definitely not perfect. It was one of the only ones to be adapted to NDS use and the SC patcher/firmware are still far from complete... as for the M3 (doubt it will be perfect either), if its in the same state software wise as G6 is then likely only the GST and DoFAT roms will work at this point and their firmware/software is not finalized AFAIK, just waiting for someone to get one and tell us if their claims of clean rom use without patching are true, or if like divineo china or G6 reviewers say, gba needs no patch, nds does...

[quaker_max]

firmware of g6 and m3 are not perfekt...

nds needs to be patched at the moment! they are working on the patch/software!

they´ll release it in a few days afaik.

Just wanted to saythanks for everything guys. I'm starting to pick up alot as we go back and forth here :) maybe by the time the thing arrives i'll be set ^_^

This is the latest news about the M3 at GBalpha.com, translated with babelfish

It is basically talking about the latest firmware update (UPDATEGC.C03) for the M3. This is the update we should be getting soon for the English version M3 too.

*****

GBalpha had issued on September 10 under its flag newest product movie card Evolution the series M3-CF essence renewal procedure, this renewal promotes regarding the movie card M3 significance is profound. Side the new essence lets NDS broadcast the image the screen no longer appears when GBA that kind for the first time to be black, thoroughly has realized the NDS entire screen broadcast, was born to this true NDS movie card. Its special-purpose GBS audio frequency form also promotes to 16 PCM sound source effect, and may broadcast 16 44100Hz the WAV audio frequency, achieves 16 profiles sounds source to the high boundary. Because the M3 main body has used the double CPLD system, in the future promotion potential will be extremely huge. The movie card interior public figure stated that, "This renewal said regarding M3 that, has realized the true significance NDS movie card, uses NDS double CPU the hardware platform, has realized the method for the first time which the image and the sound separately processes, has achieved a better effect, simultaneously two CPU system, also enables the movie card the function expansion to have a higher potential potential, increases to the MP3 broadcast, the increase touches the screen control, these plans will carry on in the future renewal. The decoding aspect, two CPU was the video and music broadcast completes has provided a more convenient environment, formerly a GBA CPU time needed to consider very many questions guaranteed the multi- duties work normally carried on, now the movie card multi- duties function then was easier to realize, and the operating efficiency was higher. We the hardware platform which have to the movie card double CPLD system design and NDS the function which will be able to realize in the future is full of confidence." The movie card research and development department also believed, new movie card Evolution series G6 and M3 two products, G6 media aspect renewal slightly slowly to M3, but the M3 game renews slightly slowly to G6. Two basically together unceasingly consummates and the renewal under such way. This is two research and development departments cooperation factor, various departments can be familiar with some to the oneself primary cognizance product, therefore can first carry on based on the oneself department's product renewal work, after smoothly completes can transplant the new thing to on another department's product. But how regardless of, through two departments' close cooperations, two research and development departments' most advanced technique union, will enable the product to develop without doubt to a more perfect direction, film and television and game fusion, movie card achieving industry in high point standard.
