Need an unbias review of the M3...

I'd like to know what it's actually capable of.

There is no point in reviewing it until the firmware is released that will play DS games.

Currently it cannot play DS games.

New firmware / patcher is promised on the 20th.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know.

What I don't understand is why everyone saying it's so brilliant if it doesn't play DS games?

Well, for one, I'm interested in full speed GBA games as well as DS...

Full speed, eh? I may just get the SD version if that's true.

i was going to get it ,but i don't think that i am going to be playing many,if any, gba games. I that is very important to you then i guess that it is worth it. HOld out for the final version if you want a to get a true review of the m3, with all features. And if you already have a supercard then i don't think you should get it.

As much as I like the SuperCard for it's DS functionality, the GBA mode is crap.

I thought you had a flash cart albrowne....

Indeed, but it's not very big, it can only fit 32 megabytes (256 megabits) of games onto it.

I am currently beta testing the BIOS for both the G6 and M3 and will have a complete review of both as soon as the BIOS goes retail on my ISO-420 Reviews website. If you take some time to read the other reviews you'll see how unbiased I can be. Trust me if the product has flaws I tear it a new ass (esp in my HushTrap GameCube Case Review). Cheers!
