It is kind of BS that I paid more for my M3 than a comparable R4, yet I get less support. The latest firmware for R4 is 1.18, and available on their website.
For the M3 I have to look for it on some obscure site and I don't even know if it is official i.e. tampered with.
I appreciate the responses though... additional information is always welcome.
With what the M3 R4 style of cards are capable of, most manufacturers are now not hosting the software on their own site for legal reasons. The official but still unofficial site for the M3 card is handheldsources.com
ps. you may want to think about eventually upgrading to a flashcart thats better supported and uses sdhc memory ie cyclo ds , edge ds , m3ds real , supercard ds one etc.........
the m3ds simply / r4ds although was a very good flashcart in its day is coming to the end of its lifespan mate .
recently bought 10 edge ds for friends , very solidly built ,( using kingston 4gb sdhc memory ) , very much like the r4ds gui but a lot faster rom loading times and uses sdhc memory , a big bonus for storing lots of roms and a gbatemp gold award winner so must be decent ! had no probs so far with any rom ive thrown at them .
