    @gaherrs10 And again, my answer remains the same. See, what the M3 Real does to load GBA ROMs is it writes the ROM to the expansion pack and then switches to GBA mode. The rumble pack does not have memory to write to. The DS cannot play a GBA ROM unless it’s in GBA mode, and the only way to do that is to load a GBA slot game. Some cards emulate the GBA, but they have a processor built into the card, which the M3 Real does not have.

    @gaherrs10 Definitely not. The rumble pack contains absolutely no extra memory for a GBA ROM to be written to, and therefore is unable to be used to play GBA games.

    @CantStandIdiots94 It comes with the card itself and a special USB cable to flash it with (you can re-flash the chip inside it to fight a DSi firmware update that would block the card). Not sure if it comes with an expansion pack, but my guess is no since it’s made for the DSi and the DSi doesn’t have a slot 2 at all. As for price, on DealExtreme it’s roughly $22 USD.

    @CantStandIdiots94 The M3 DS Real can NOT work on a DSi, but the M3 Team made a new card for the DSi – the M3i Zero.

    Haha, you guessed it. The Skyline is probably my favorite ricer. And as for getting them, scope out DealExtreme. I think they’re down to like $30 USD now or something.

    M3. Avoid R4 like the plague. It’s old, outdated, and pales in comparison to any flashcard out there these days.

    Ohh. Unfortunately, you’ll have an incredibly hard time buying this from a store, as no commercial store chain (like Wal-Mart or Target) sells these. I’m afraid that, unless you can find it at a pawn shop or some little gaming store in your nearest Chinatown, you’re not gonna be getting one of these unless you order it online.

    Just to add onto this, I just placed an order for an AceKard2 today from DX, so I’ll keep you posted when I actually get it. Who knows – I might even do a video review on it if I have time. IF I have time. Damn college, sucks up all my free time.

    I would say DealExtreme. They’re really cheap, and they have free shipping. However, it takes like 3 weeks from the time you order to actually get your stuff. That’s how long it took for me, and I live in Canada.
