    As soon as my next paycheck comes I'm getting a M3 Lite with a 2 GB SD card.

    I was wondering though because i want it for the GBA games over the DS games if the M3 Lite provides 100% compatibility for GBA play.

    I have read on other forums that it only provides playback for up to 32 Mbit games and no greater. Is this true? Because i really want to play some golden sun and some mario party advance on it. I hope someone with one already can give me a for sure answer. Thanks much.

    M3 Lite PRO only allows for 32Mbit or smaller

    M3 Lite original allows for 99% of GBA games out there

    I would suggest a supercard with passkey3.. it seems most of the games are more compatible..

    hmmm, okay


    see this is exactly what i was going to buy

    http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/dd-ds-m3lpass.html


    because it comes with the passcard 3 and all. I have seen that this can emulate DS roms perfectly. Just the GBA support is suppossedly only up to 32MBit but others i've heard say that this not true and it even says it supports 99% of GBA roms here

    this is my only confusion before purchasing this on divineo.

    There are two types of M3 Lite

    The M3 Lite Perfect, this is what you have linked to, it can play 99% of all GBA and NDS games out there, it has onboard RAM of 32MB.

    The M3 Lite PRO, this is what you DON'T want, it lacks the 32MB of onboard RAM and as such loses a small amount of NDS compatibility, almost all GBA games (except those under 4MB/32Mb as they fit in the DS RAM) and a large chunk od GBA/NDS homebrew.

    So basically what you have linked to is what you want.

    okay, i did a bit of research as well. And yes your right (i didn't know there was 2 types). I really don't know why they would even make the pro version (maybe for people trying to get one cheaper) Okay now i know exactly what to buy thanks y'all.
