    Mother 3

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    So...you're using a PC emulator to play a GBA game on your TV? :?

    Here's what you need to play Mother 3 on your DS (like me :D ):

    1. DS flashcard (aka Slot-1) - These are usually for playing DS games, but in this case it's needed to load games onto your GBA expansion. Pretty much anything will work, but I wouldn't recommend the old R4DS as it's pretty obsolete at this point. A few sites I'd try: DealExtreme, RealHotStuff, Gameyeeeah, KickGaming.
    2. GBA expansion (aka Slot-2) - You can NOT play GBA games without this. There are no acceptable GBA emulators for DS, mainly because these exist. The most popular choices right now are the EZ Flash 3-in-1, M3 DS Real GBA Expansion Pack, and eWin Expansion Pak.
      I use the 3-in-1 because, hey...it's 3 in 1 - it acts as a rumble pack, RAM expansion, and GBA flashcart. The other expansions just play GBA games. And there's a GBA-sized version if you have a DS phat or (in my case) want the option of playing it in a GBA or GBA Player.
      You can get the M3 DS Real expansion by itself or bundled with its Slot-1 partner.
      The eWin expansions are sold out everywhere I know of, but you can find the other two expansions at most of the stores I listed.
    3. Patched Mother 3 ROM - Duh.
    4. microSD card - This goes in your Slot-1. Put your ROM on here. Pretty much any Slot-1 flashcard will come with a USB adapter so don't worry about that.
    5. GBA ROM loader software - If you have a CycloDS Evo, this is built into the firmware. If you have an M3 DS Real, it will support the M3 DS Real GBA expansion natively. Similarly, the EZ Flash V has native support for the EZ Flash 3-in-1. Otherwise, Rudolph's GBA ExpLoader is what you want (no, it will not make your DS blow up). Download, extract, and put it on your microSD card. Regardless of what you have, what you do with the software will be the same: load Mother 3 onto your GBA expansion and run it.

    And voila, easy 16 combos! All told, this will probably end up costing about the same (or less) it would to import Mother 3 (although you should do that anyway).

    You can get a standalone GBA flashcart but it's generally not worth it IMO unless you don't have a DS in which case dude what is wrong with you. Although if that is the case, it might be easier to just pay someone to flash a 3-in-1 and send it to you. :P

    What head-interfacing listening equipment do you use?

    Headphones, earphones, earbuds, neurophones, bone-conduction headsets, etc.

    I use Telex Model 610-44 educational headphones.

    They have excellent sound, stay on my head well, and are almost impossible to damage.

    The picture doesn't show it, but after I took it I superglued an Apple Microphone (circa 1991) to the side. Now it's an excellent-sounding, perfectly working headset. Also, all the parts (except for the glue) were free. :)

    What do you use?

    AWESOME.

    I've got Shure E2c's currently, but I'm not too big a fan of the closed sound, and they hurt my ears, so I'm looking to get some good entry-level cans. No idea where to start though. Sennheiser, Grado, AKG, Sony, Koss...too many choices!

    That's the thing though, she should be getting at least 5-6 times that framerate even at that resolution. I mean, 10fps is something you'd expect from integrated graphics...I apologize if this sounds insulting, Gman, but is your card installed and updated with the latest drivers. And if so, is your monitor plugged into an output on the card instead of your motherboard?

    Off topic, I've always been kinda curious about your Steam name. :P What's the story behind that?
