Questions before buying the 3DS

Post by esquiro »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello,
I'm planning on buying a 3DS for Christmas.
Can you give me some advice and answers to my questions?

1) Is the upscaling that the 3DS does for DS games (image enlarged but blurrier rendering) really bothersome?

2) What are the main differences (aside from price) between the 3 linkers: DSTwo, Acekard 2i and M3 Zero?

3) Is there one of these 3 linkers (in case it couldn't support the 3DS's FW version) that can do its update without going through a standard DS?

4) Your opinion on the purchase sites "eachgame.com", "digitopz.com", "discoazul.fr"?

hi

1) Not tested
2) forget the M3i zero. The team doesn't really update it much anymore :? Then I'd say go for an acekard2i at only 10€ :D with the akaio firmware :accord:
3) only the M3i zero unfortunately. But if you don't update your 3ds first, no problem.
4) eachgame without hesitation ;)

Hi everyone,
3DS bought this week (149€ at DARTY with in-store delivery - best price found online).
The version is 1.0.0-0E (original version from the 3DS launch).
I'm waiting for the Acekard 2i UPDATE release to order the linker and do the UPDATE to 2.2.0-4 of the 3DS.

Do you know if the linkers from Eachgame arrive ready to use or do you have to run them through a DS first?

Hi everyone,
Just a quick note to give you an update:
- Eachgames order sent on 11/26 and received on 12/03 (delivered by registered mail => no issues)
- I finally got a DSTWO to be able to handle the 2.2.04 UPDATE contained in Mario 3D Land. The DSTWO arrived with the latest FW 1.13 (so no FW UPDATE needed, just put the EOS on the microSD).

WARNING: Next Thursday the 8/12 NINTENDO is going to release a v2.2.0.5 update.
