At first I thought this was a homebrew menu. It would be nice to have a cross-flashcard homebrew/ROM loader...

[iofthestorm]

So this is a homebrew/ROM cart that rips off the iPod Touch's unofficial nickname? I don't see why this would be sued at all... (incidentally, I rather dislike Apple but anyone blatantly copying their ridiculous naming scheme deserves whatever legal action they receive).

Also, @ rememberthe8bit: I think this is something like what you're looking for? It looks like it's a cross-flashcard homebrew menu/OS replacement, although I'm not sure if it can replace the default menu/OS or if it's just its own homebrew program. Haven't tried it yet.

I dont understand is this similiar to pogoshell for the gba back in the day?

I would recommend DSision (http://www.neoflash.com/forum/index.php/topic,4955.0.html), it works on most flash carts, look great, supports fast switching to different folders, shortcuts, stylus and d-pad controls, custom background(16bit) and icons(4bit), custom startup sound, plays mp3's auto dldi patches, switch to gba mode, analogue/digital/no clock on top screen and probably some other stuff I have forgot.

No, this is a flashcard by the M3 team.

[Steely]

M3 Team? Really?

Well, I don't see any reason anyone would get this. It's just about the same as every other flash card, now, only different themes, and some shortcuts.

This is by M3. This is to compete with DSTT and all other microSHC compatible cards. I will have full review once I receive it from M3.

[firedragon_jing]

Is this really any different than the M3 DS Real?, except that it doesn't come paired with a rumble pack and/or GBA pack...

Seriously, why did they make a new card when they have the Reals, besides I heard they are soon going to release an awesome new firmware for Real...

I do however love the iTouch's sticker a lot better tan the M3 Real's.

Do slot 2 cards (ones that take up the ds card slot, and the gba port) use more energy when using whatever application. My Max media dock always has like, 3 hours of video time only, then it dies. It lasts a 5 hours on sleep MP3 mode however, ah just a question seeing this thing is a slot 1 device.

[Gideon007]

AFAIK the Slot 2 expansions for the real or the EZ 3-in-1 do use up more energy than when you just have the slot-2 thing inserted that came with your DS.
I only read this so don't take my word for it :)

That would be correct. You have more power draw from the components on a slot-2 device than you do on the dust covers that come with the DS. The dust cover is just a PCB with leads that trace back to the connections. No chips or fuses or anything else on it.
