boy, they really do just copy/paste the R4 updates, don't they

Is there a better mirror site for M3 updates?

Their site is slow as hell.

Interesting. Even though I have an M3 Simply I see it's benefits as over-exaggerated. I am considering a Slot-2 Device, as the extra RAM and GBA software support is key to the things I want to run on the DS (BBC Micro, Quake, and DSLinux). Though the M3 Simply has been a great help for my inception into DS Homebrew, with it's easy to use interface. I'll give this a test, once I figure out why my MicroSD isn't being picked up on either the DS or on Linux *cries* Tried to reformat it, but I think I did a bad job of it

As opposed to Supercard or MMD?

Atleast the M3 Team acknowledges that the M3 and R4 are made in the same factory.

Yes, Tikker, I also see something too familiar in here:

EDIT: So is the R4DS an illegal copy of M3 or vise versa?

Niether, the devices are made in the same factory, just have a different sticker on it. Infact the old model of the M3 and R4 you could actully add/remove solder from the board so the M3 could use the R4 firmware and vice versa.

The R4 team are the main people behind it all, hence why M3 updates are always 2-3 days after the R4 updates. The M3 team are currently working on their own slot-1 device (M3 DS Real)
