It seems Datel's at it again making another piece of crap. I snagged these pics with my camera phone at my local Best Buy:

Hopefully not many people buy this piece of crap in hopes to play homebrew.
havent they always had this?
or am i wrong.
i dont pay much attention to datel other than the action replay.
No, this is new crap. Congrats Datel.
So what can this thing actually do?
Rip off the general consumers, that's what.
Congrats for more crap, Datel!
Wtf? A GigaPACK? They should at LEAST specify byte or bit -_-
and congrats to the new crap
:Edit:
Wait they do specify byte
Wonder how long it will be before we see people saying "I bought that Gigapack thing"
Woohoo time for people saying "can I run teh uber homebrew with my gigpakzorz its awesomz" and I will reply " no, the gigacrap does nothing, I suggest you burn it or make a dog chew toy with it (I hear that dogs love megabytes, they are chewy)."
lol, oh and GIGA, in anything, means gigabyte... You know, 1000 megabyes (which, for me at least, isnt very big)
lamez0r.
Datel should get put out of business, they have been making CRAP! for years! And this is more crap!
can u use it to run homebrew on ur ds or just wacth videos and music
Both. But the homebrew is very limited.Quote:

Actually, 1GB is 1024MB. =DQuote:

That means that this new MMD has twice the space.
Everyone needs to stop and realize that the MMD isn't the utter crap product it was when it was released. They have implemented every feature they promised (except .gba support) and are actively taking steps to improve the compatibilty of homebrew and working to encourage programmers to code for it.
It isn't a crap product anymore people. "It ain't the best, but it ain't bad."
Yeah, but what they've done here is "improved" the hardware. Now I for one have not heard anybody say any bad comments on the Max Media Dock itself, but the software, Max Media Player, and its lack of support for .GBA files and various DS homebrew is what's pissing everyone off. Datel are missing the whole point! While they were making this, they should have been improving the software.Quote:

Hah, thatd be crazy, but i doubt it does
There at least is some evidence that they are working on a software update evident on the new box. For instance, they now advertise the fact that the MMD recognizes files in .zip format as ZIP files which means that they might be close to being able to run zipped files.Quote:

We're just pissed off at the lack of f'cking updates. Hopefully this new chunk of plastic will bring forth more than 2 f'cking updates within the next year.
I don't give a f'ck if the updates are a sea of useless "now you can use the D-Pad to surf the main interface" crap with one "new format supported". Just f'cking update!
Anyways, back on topic, 1 GB for a satisfactory library of music and a video or two isn't enough. I'm trying to upgrade to a 2GB CF because I'm sick of having to pick my songs carefully so I can have a decent, diverse library without overcrowding my CF.
That's another thing they said the MMP could do! When will the lies end?! :(Quote:

I don't think this takes any cards, you are stuck with the 1GB storage built-in.
first off, the mmp came with a cf card gen. 2, meaning it was about the same size as a cf card, had the same prongs, did the same thing, but sucked down way more battery, because it is actually a mini harddrive, though you can replace the harddrive with a cf card.. just like the dock. anyways, im guessing that in time datel is gonna come out with different sized "gigapacks" as they call them, to go with your "personal media player"
News: the MMP will take up to 8GB CF Cards! That's right, 8 GB!!! And it will work with M3, SuperCard, and NeoFlash. Maybe Datel got another one right, their ARs have always been awesome. JMHO.
