[RESOLVED] Looking for a linker + site

Post by Bastendo »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello,

Having acquired a Nintendo DSi with a 1.3E firmware

I'm looking for a powerful linker for DSi that runs all DS games including the most recent ones, I also want the company that made the linker to often do updates to the linker (in case there's a Nintendo update)

There you go, and if possible I would like a site that sells them in French and above all trustworthy ;)

Well then there are several linkers:

Personally I have an EZ Flash Vi, it works well for games, not for homebrews but plenty of updates.
Some have issues when inserting the cartridge and/or the micro SD: these are sensitive linkers, you have to be careful. They need a fast memory card (class 4 minimum).
Before I had an EDGE on DS and I saw the iEDGE, the EDGE for DSi: it's not out yet but if it's like the EDGE it's great.
There's also the Acekard 2i, I don't know it but it has good reviews. Not many updates I think, but maybe more reliable than the EZ Flash Vi.

To buy one there's Metashop but it's expensive.
Otherwise I like DealExtreme, that's where I buy: the linkers cost 10€ no shipping fees but it takes 3 weeks to arrive (based in Hongkong, and express costs $20). They arrive in envelopes which looks cheap but well...
On the other hand avoid memory cards from them (counterfeit) and consoles (often because of the packaging they arrive broken). It's in English but not much text.

If you order from a shady shop, don't forget that paying with Paypal insures the purchase in case of a scam.
There you go!

well I'd tell you M3i zero because they're always very responsive about firmware fixes.
otherwise go on dealextreme if you're not in a hurry, no point paying for express shipping, it's a bit of Russian roulette. I've already received free shipping in 6 days and express in 3 weeks so since then I do everything with free shipping.
and if you're in a hurry metagames is reliable but a bit expensive I find. their prices are always in the high range, that's a shame.

I read that the build quality of the M3i Zero wasn't great. But it's true Metashop might be fast but you pay 30€ more!

it's true it's not the best in terms of plastic. but if I had to rule out the M3i zero for that reason I'd rather go for an Acekard 2i.

Ok thanks I ordered an EZ FLASH Vi linker on the dealxtreme.com site but it's been 6 weeks and I haven't received anything, I'm getting a bit worried now...
Should I keep waiting? Or file a dispute but how?

Bastendo, wait a bit longer. The Dealextreme site ships directly from China, that takes quite a while. And a study in the computer world (nah I'm not a geek xD) showed that generally this site is reliable. Just don't give your bank details, and use a paypal account, it's safer.
Keep us posted, ok =)

I also waited a long time, nearly 5 weeks. Pff 3 days, no way. They already need 1 week to prepare your package (at least that was my case).

The package travels by boat, I hope it didn't sink :twisted:

If you paid via Paypal, you can always ask them for a refund, it's a bit long but in the end you get your money back, I've already done it.

Okay, as for me I ordered several M3i Zero on https://www.m3r4dstt.com/ personally I haven't found a better and cheaper site, 100% reliable, a bit slow I admit...and an awesome linker =) but does anyone have a DSi on 1.5? because apparently available since yesterday but still nothing...

As for me I order from ChipSpain, delivery is often the day after the order, you can even pay only on delivery.

Sure, it's a bit more expensive, but I've never been disappointed...

I think I'm going to get a M3i Zero from the almost-French site (coming from belgium) https://www.tech4u.be/
Even though the linkers are 30€, delivery is faster!

If someone can confirm whether the site is reliable :)

Happy new year 2010 to all!

Thanks but no need, I don't think they'll do much, I'd rather wait and I'm going to get another linker from a site that delivers fast.
And if I have two, I could always find someone to resell it to!

Thanks anyway :)

I finally managed to get the M3i Zero :)

However I don't understand why the linker isn't compatible with the new internet security types!

The DSi can go on the internet with WEP keys but also WPA, I have a WPA key that works very well on the botulism channel... but with the linker no

Is there an option or an update for the linker to allow playing online with the WPA key????

as for dealextream: go to your account page, copy the order number, then click on the order number in the "Order # (invoice)" column, on "RMA & Replacement", on "Package not received". Then you just have to fill in the form and wait.

To finish... if you're in a hurry don't order on DX. If you're broke order on DX and learn patience. :D


as for the M3i zero: here's the latest system menu I found: M3G6_DS_Real_v4.7c_M60_Multi
