Both. But the homebrew is very limited.

Anyway, it's just the Max Media Player with a smaller dock. I doubt the software is any different otherwise Datel would have put an upgrade for the current MMP software.

Actually, 1GB is 1024MB. =D

I must say that I am surprised at the amount of crap that people are giving Datel about this product. I don't remember people saying bad things about the makers of the M3 when they said they were going to release the G6. That is basically what Datel has done here, taken a card reader and put it into a cart form. As a matter of fact, if I remember correctly, the G6 has a maximum size of 512 MB. 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.

It would be funny if this dock has everything we wanted.

**Junixx** · November 8th, 2006, 03:28

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.

Meh.

Max ain't no pot o' gold but it ain't a turd either.

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?!

1) someone should report them to the better bussiness beurro

2) whats the difference between this and the max media player? isnt it the exact same, except for a bit different design? or am i wrong?
