Hi,
Thanks for your concern about our products.
We will have our agents in every country and district, and you can contact our
agents for purchasing our products or you may buy it from online shops after our
products have been put out.
We will list their websites on M3 site.
No need modify your console, just plug&play.
Save in GBA cart and then save in CF/SD card.
You Can play SNES games by SNES emulator , but it is not perfect. It is not
concerned about G6, and that’s the emulator’s problem.
In fact , we can make it ,but we don’t do it. Because the conversion file are
very larger, and the movie file reaches 256Mb.We think 10FPS is enough and movie
effects is good.
Can support our own format rom, GST & clean dump rom. later .

Regards
Danny

That email was received today. The main page lies as it says '- Support “clean dump” data.'

Also note that it says 'Save in GBA cart and then save in CF/SD card. ', JUST like SuperCard and that it uses SNESDS, JUST like SuperCard and that it runs movies at 10 FPS JUST like SuperCard and that DS roms need to be patched to run on it, JUST like SuperCard.

Hmm...

They are just coping the supercard progress.

thats wahy thay have delayed the release!

My thoughts precisely.

Wow. this really suprises me. I thought they were com[pletely ready to put out some killer device.. supercard seems to be better so far!

Well, since I already have my SC, I guess there's no need for the M3 seeing as though it has the exact same features :|

Ramin · September 03, 2005, 02:18:38 AM

Except no slowdowns with GBA games...

Though the SC's slowdowns aren't THAT bad... sh!t... now I'm regretting preordering that crap...

Huh?

It says "Can support...clean dump rom."

LargePig · September 04, 2005, 03:03:24 AM

Even if it does/does not support clean dumps, it's not really that big a big deal, it takes seconds to patch the roms with the SC software and you can do them all at once..... You have to use a computer to transfer them to the card anyway so it's just one tiny extra step.

I wouldn't spend extra money just to skip this step now I have my supercard.

IF everything else is on the lvl tho it still has a lot going for it, RTC, Clean GBA games, No slowdown... and maybe a easier way to save on NDS roms (I'm just guessing here but after seeing Romman's I would hope they try to improve on it)

Since I dont have a DS yet the first three things look pretty inpressive to me.... still gonna wait for a few reviews tho

Anyway, does'nt this mean it can support Clean dumps?

Is says later.

comapro · September 04, 2005, 09:20:51 PM

I took "later" as to just mean "bye" haha. I guess not.

albrowne · September 05, 2005, 04:55:53 AM

'Regards' is bye, methinks.

XD. sorry man, but that was pretty funny.

And to whoever it was mention save, I heard from someone it saves onto the M3 its self - but only has 10 slots.

Ramin · September 06, 2005, 01:57:58 AM

10 slots is fine, especially since you can back those onto the PC. I wonder how the whole save-naming system will be though, I'm completely not in the mood for handling 20 different "SAVE01.SAV" like files.
