M3 and G6 Homebrew Support Petition

PetitionSeveral of you were, to put it lightly, shocked, to find out that DragondMinded has dropped DSOrganize support for M3/G6 flashcarts due to compatibility issues. Stress from constant fixes and maintaining multiple updates has also contributed to this drop.

A concerned M3 Lite owner, Roy Lazarovich, has decided to start a petition that aims to gather backing for a formal request to the M3 Team and convince/assist them to work more closely with homebrew developers. Hopefully the needed tools, libraries, and source code needed will be provided to the community so that they may continue to support these great products.

The petition in turn requests homebrew developers to continue supporting the M3 and the G6. If you feel like you want to help out, you can head to the Petition's site and sign there.

All I want is a M3 Game Manager for Mac. My PC is more of a brick than my PSP.

» Homebrew & Mac/Linux

I wish that more flash card developers would support homebrew & Mac OS X/Linux. It shouldn't have to be the other way around.



The only flash card I own that have both Mac & Linux support is my ancient Visoly Flash Advance Pro. Same thing with my old Bung GBC cart. But, they're all using a parallell port linker, so they won't work with a brand new computer anyway :(



An open source flash card with USB drive support is what I wish for.



Most client software for the flash cards today just make me cry. Little Writer for my old FAP is what more programs should look like.

» You want it supported, do it yourself

If Mr M3 or whoever whats X device supported then just write the necessary code yourself. I'm sure that the author of DSOrganise would be more than willing to re-include support if somebody actually decided to help him/her with it.

» I thought the M3 adapter already supported all homebrew...

This question may have been answered somewhere else, but exactly how is the M3 adapter harder to program for than certain other devices? I have noticed that there are different versions of homebrew software for different devices that work with the DS, but exactly how are they different?



Oh, and I agree with #4, others can volunteer to help in developing compatible versions of DS Organize.

#4:

You have no idea how difficult it is to write a working device driver for hardware when you have no idea of how it works do you? When the M3 team designed the M3, they used some strange techniques in order to keep the M3 from being copied. However, because of that it's very difficult to write a driver for it. The Supercard has better driver support because the design is much more basic, although because of that there have been many copies of it. That should also answer #5's question

If anyone out there wants to start a project for the M3 for Mac let me know at . My wife is a programmer for mac apps and if you help us we can build a program to interact with the m3, we just dont know how to start working on it.
