the thing is that ITS NOT OUT YET.  We can always speculate.  Just look at the DS-link.  Before it came out and people knew that you had to flash your ds they were thinking about how they wouldn't need any other cart and how it would totally pwn 3v3ryth1ing and you wouldn't need any other carts, that wasn't the case.
M3 is a company trying to make money.  It could be the exact same thing as the DS-linker and people like H8 will buy it because of the brand name.  This happens with everything we buy daily.
Why make a product that costs more when you will probably make the same amount from producing a cheaper product.

That's right, I will buy it just because it has the name "G6" on it. And you know why? Because in my opinion, the G6 Lite was the best slot 2 flash cart. So I'm expecting this new slot 1 to be one of the best also. Why do you care what I spend my money.

I don't know why you keep going on and on and...about it "NOT BEING OUT YET". Who cares? I am speculating it's going to be a great cart. So what? I don't see why you are having such a problem with that?

Not that I really care though. It's not like someone's opinion, that I don't even know, means anything. But I just thought I would point this out.
Setup:
White Lite
Slot 1: CycloDSx2GB Kingston Japan, Supercard DSOne+1GB Nokia(J), 16G G6 DS Real, 16G DS-Linker, R4x1GB Kingston(J),
Slot 2: G6 Lite
PSP: 3.40 OE-A

I'm trying to help people understand that just because you think it's going to be the 1337est piece of technology out there, that it probably will be a dissapointment.  And the G6 lite is not the best slot 2.  It's heavily crippled by homebrew support and to top it off only has 512MB of room for a hefty price tag of atleast 75$ shipped.  That G6 arguement sounds like the AMD fanboy saying when the Core2duos started owning it up.  These types of I heart _____brand and buy new thing right away usually going oh shit something better was there for a lesser price.  That is why we have reviews.  Just read one before you go out and buy something.  Do some research.  And from the description I read its going to be the same as other carts.  IT doesn't say 100% homebrew support and theres no way it can get 100% download play it's pretty much impossible.
Plus I like to argue with people, thats what forums are for.

Well, from what I hear, G6 Lite performs fairly well, in terms of GBA and NDS roms, it performs flawlessly, and you can't say 512mb memory is a negative.  Some people like built in memory, and the speed it writes.

The G6DS Real will probably feature great NDS, 100% download play, DLDI, etc.  I don't think they would lie about download play because it is so easily testable...

Ah, and I"m sure everyone here really cares what you think about this cart.

And yes, I do think it's going to be a great cart. That's what I think. I have not tried to get other people to think this. So  I have no idea why you are here trying to get people to understand that this cart may be a disappointment. All I've done is post excitement for this cart. You're making it sound like, just because I think it's the "1337est piece of technology out there", that other people are going to buy it because of that. My opinion does not matter anymore more than yours.

And I never said the G6 Lite was the best slot 2 cart. I stated that in my opinion, it was the best slot 2 cart. Does that actually means it was the best slot 2 cart, just because I think it is? No. You think it's not the best slot 2.  That doesn't mean it is. You need to stop thinking that anyone here cares about your opinion on, well...anything.

theres no way it can get 100% download play it's pretty much impossible.

Well, now you're the one speculating. I"m not saying that the cart will have 100% download compatibility, but I'm not going to totally dismiss the idea that they may be able to get this done.

Plus I like to argue with people, thats what forums are for.

Ok, I now know not to take you seriously for now on. I mean seriously, this is a little childish.  I'm not going to continue some juvenile pissing match. You've stated your opinion about the cart. And that's fine. I"m going to leave it at that.

You ladies play nice.

lol devs.
H8 wtf do you think forums were made for? so people can congregate, spread ideas, and disagree on them.  Do you think we ALL come here to say the supercard is the best ofcourse not, some say EZ some say supercard, some say m3.
I never said the G6 was a bad cart, I just don't like the price point compared to other carts with similar performance and in other spots better performance.  512MB is  not enough when you are advertising it as a multimedia player as well(this also applies to the DS-X but the DS-X had much higher homebrew compatibility(this was before DLDI))
and didn't the DS-X gaurentee 100% download play but even that great card which had a price point of 125$ at launch couldn't do it all.
And excitement is fine but back it up with some sort of FACTUAL INFORMATION.  Facts ever heard of them? yes our opinions aren't worth crap so put some facts on the table, show me how the G6ds is going to be worth the supposed 120-150$ price when the n-card is going for about
50$ shipped.  Believe me i actually read the article at gbatemp and it looks promising, but a lot of other carts have and failed, such as the acekard.  Just don't cry to me when its a N-card in disguise with a slot 1 usb transfer device for a load more money.

GBATemp has their G6DS Real...

Should have mine this week too. I loved the G6 Lite so im sure this one will be good too, although im not totally sure how different it can be from the M3 Simply.

Not proven that it doesn't work yet, they haven't tested it properly with cheats off yet...

sonicwind

hope it works out well.  I just won't be able to buy it at the over 100$ price tag.

PharaohsVizier

sonicwind
