The M3 DS Real is a real close similarity to the R4, hardware wise, but is still very good build quality, except for one problem that I had; the clips on the actual game case, which has changed, but if you have a case like mine, with the six clips, they are pretty fragile and easy to break making a big con, especially if you have a habit of taking things apart, curious of what is inside, like me. The M3 DS Real does not have any plastic teeth in the bottom of the cartridge, which isn't a bad thing because if they were poorly molded plastic teeth being used as protection, it could block the actual teeth from the contact and then the cartridge won't load. One other good part of the M3 Real is that the micro SD slot is on the top of the cartridge, but that is just usually a preference to people, newer models of the M3 DS Real have the micro SD slot on the side, so if you see these ones, it doesn't mean it is fake.
The software of the M3 DS Real is very good quality, it may be slow on some updates, but at least it gets the job done. One of the big advantages is the Auto DLDI patcher, which helps when you download homebrew in a hurry and have no time to patch it, making it a good useful piece of software.
The M3 DS Real can run two firmwares: M3 TouchPod, or M3 Sakura, which has a dual boot feature which can go into Sakura, my preferred loader, or TouchPod, which is a bit slower, but sometimes it runs things a bit better, like the GBA games if you buy the M3 Perfect bundle, which comes with the GBA Expansion pack.
I have really put my M3 DS Real to the test, and I would like to say, it gets the job done very well. It will do all that is said in the features and is very well at running games and homebrew. This is one good cart, it even passed my tests of endurance, even though four out of the six clips are broken, it still holds together nice and firmly, and slides in and out of my ds lite with ease.
Overall, I give the M3 DS Real a 7.5/10. I give it this mark because it has good durability, nice operating system to use, with many choices, like the Quad-Boot and many other choices, but the downside is the build quality, it may be durable, but it is still easy to break off the clips that hold it all together, but if you are looking for a DS flashcart to buy, this would be one of them to go pick up from an online store if you're looking for something that is updated frequently, and is fairly cheap for a flashcart, if you look around.
