CycloDs, R4, or M3 Real?

**DracoNyon** · March 6th, 2008, 23:39

Well i have the crap max media dock (maybe not if datel ever updated it's firmware). So i was looking in to get a new one. The 3 listed above is the 3 choices i have come down to. Price is huge but not if they are like in a $5 range of each other. I was thinking of the m3 real perfect bundle as it has the RAM extension slot. I would very much like to play gba apps and to make SnemulDs better. I will however sacrifice that for price as i need a decent microsd card to go with it. (all i have is microsd card that came with my phone which is only 64mb :rofl

So which do you guys prefer and what is a good site to buy them from. I also want fast delivery w/o paying too much. Thanks for all your help.

i would recommend the R4DS.

i have one, never had any problems with it.

runs homebrew and backups of games perfectly.

moonshell built in.

the only thing it doesnt do is GBA.

good place to get them is

you can get them in bundles with memory cards quite cheap, and they have cheap/free worldwide shipping.

I have the Cyclods with a ezflash4... yeah I have money... with an 8 gig card for the cyclo and a two for the ezflash... I'm having a problem with gba games not saving on me. But I hope to get that fixed soon.

I have cyclo evo (slot1, DS) and M3 perfect SD (slot 2, GBA), expensive solution.
I'd rather advice you for the M3 real+GBA expansion card, you can do nearly anything (apart homebrew/games using rumble pack but no big loss I think)
The GBA part not only brings compatibility for gameboy advance games, but also extra memory which is great for some homebrews

Ok, can anyone recommend a good slot-2 card that WORKS with R4?

**masterchief929** · June 28th, 2008, 13:36

just get the m3 with the ram expansion. i have one and have never had any problems.

I'm getting the R4 free in the mail, so I need a list of compatible Slot-2 carts that won't set me back too much, I'm basically broke.

EDIT: I am getting it from Gaming Lagoon.
