Ok, I've been looking at the Divineo.com website and I've got it narrowed down to the G6 Lite or the M3 with passcard 3.

So, what I want to know is, which will give me the best emulation compatibility? (NES, SNES, GBA/GBC/GB, Genesis)

I will place an order in 24 hours. So please, let me know what you think, remember, emulation is the most important.

G6 and M3 are made by the same company so they have the same compatibility. I got a G6 Lite for my DS Lite mainly, but also use it in my GBA with the adapter case. You'll want a Passcard 3 with whichever one you buy.

That sucks, gotta get that separately on Divineo.com. The one I was gonna get comes with Passkey 2. Wouldnt that work?

Yeah, but have you seen a Passkey? It is no less than 800 times as big as the Passcard and does the same thing. Real Hot Stuff has a G6 Lite and Passcard 3 (http://www.realhotstuff.com/lite-passcard-bundle-p-101.html) bundle for $112. They also have M3 bundles with Passcards and memory here (http://www.realhotstuff.com/nintendo-dsgba-adapter-c-1_36.html).

Divineo.com is good, but I'd check on the China site (http://www.divineo.cn/) first, they sometimes ship faster and cheaper than the US store, which only has a $35 shipping option.

Would the lower mem speed of the M3 affect gameplay?

No.

G6-Faster, only 512mb
M3-Slower, bigger, uses expandible memory.

Some cards will slow down when running games depending on what flashcart and type of memory you're using. I'm sure that there's something out there that will slow down a G6 (maybe a SNES game), but they are generally the fastest running flashcarts. The SCL does run much faster than the older SC's because it uses microSD, though I don't know if it can match the G6L. The M3 Lite (http://7mc.org/2006/08/m3dslink.html) will also be much faster than previous M3's.

Yes but the supper card lite also uses the SCL and a micro SD

I was abbreviating Supercard Lite as SCL.

Does the G6 realy play SNES roms?

howcome I cant find any real info about this, and anyone know if they're SNES emu would work on a Supercard?

Yeah, it'll play some of them. I haven't seen a list or anything or roms know to work or not. I also don't know if the G6/M3 team is working on improving their SNES emu. In the meantime ther is always SnezziDS (may only have one z, not sure). That should also work on a SC.

Yea Snezzi is my road to salvation, I was tricked into buying a NDSL with all the homebrew fixxins... (SClite and Flashme) cause I was told it could play Snes games ^^

So far I've been too busy playing all the NDS games I can find instead ^^ but I hope Snezzi will have his emulator up standards soon :)

From what I understand there's no real hardware problems for making a NDS emulate snes, it just a matter of actualy sitting down and coding the damn thing from scratch, I remember the days when ZSNES had a list of maybe 30 games it could play, and those not very good :) even getting the last few grafical bugs out of games like ChronoTrigger took a while.

But I have faith! ^^

The M3 is supposed to have some in-built emulator function doesn't it? How do you use it?

Here (http://www.forwardcoding.com/projects/snezzids/snezzids.html)

A question to the other people:
What about homebrew compatibility on the M3 Lite/microSD?
I think there is nothing on that, but I really like to develop something. I heard something about fatlib not being compatible with G6 lite, but I don't know anything for sure about M3 lite.
