CycloDS Evolution v1.56 BETA 5 firmware has been released for testing, and this time with a special new feature! Changes include:

* Added Stealth Mode feature, fixes 4362, 4417, 4482, 4492 (see below)
* Fixed problem with LCD brightness configuration
* Other game compatibility fixes (DSi 0015, 4506)

Stealth Mode

Stealth Mode is a powerful new feature exclusive to CycloDS Evolution, targeted at defeating a new type of "anti-tamper" protection which has appeared in recent games. Previously the only way to defeat this protection was through complex software cracks, being extremely time consuming to create and entirely different for each game, meaning considerable delays for users given the likelihood of a proliferation of titles featuring this protection. CycloDS Evolution's automated solution provides a means for instantaneous playback of these titles without any need for the user to patch or alter the ROM files in any way.

Please note the following points with regards to Stealth Mode:

* The Cyclo Evolution stealth code is still in development. As such we are releasing a BETA in order that we may obtain feedback and support our loyal user base with new functionality in advance of the final release. We trust that should you encounter any issues, feedback will be forthcoming through posts in our forums.
* Stealth Mode is currently being optimised and tested for stability. The current BETA release in no way reflects the final performance of the feature and is presented purely to offer a glimpse of the advanced functionality which we strive hard to provide. In using the BETA Stealth Mode feature for playback of anti-tamper titles, performance may be slightly compromised due to the fact that the feature has yet to be completely optimised.
* Stealth Mode is only required for games which feature the new anti-tamper protection scheme. CycloDS Evolution will automatically enable Stealth Mode for games known to feature the anti-tamper protection at the time of the last firmware release. Should new anti-tamper releases appear in between releases of the Cyclo Evolution firmware, stealth mode will require manual enabling by holding START while loading the game.
* While a game is running in Stealth Mode the Enhanced Menu is disabled

I think it's some sort of automated software crack to bypass recent anti-piracy protection ... looking at how cyclo is always great at this kind of stuffs.

^ Try using a different e-mail.

Anyway... how come I, NeoKitai of the Team Cyclops Forums, have not noticed this!? (And how does DSi 0015 work?)

Since signatures are down- Please click on my card to go on my forum. *sigh*

EDIT: Spelling mistake.

Or use a proxy, as it's likely it was his IP that was banned too.

i guess rather than destroying small MG nests; deceive the HQ into thinking they've won the war and then exploit the situation
i bet this will work very well for all anti-piracy blocks unless they arent very sure how to implement it fully for future firmware updates(which is unlikely)

Anyway, it's great to hear that Cyclo is still trying to step it up and keep it's customers happy! Hopefully this works against the new 400 piracy checks on every big game..

Yeah, Zelda ST seems to work fine now with the uncracked version. Yay.

COP is completely ruined now. It works, but whether you use the clean ROM or the cracked one, it's sluggish, cheat codes don't work (you can see and select them, they just don't work) and it attempts to "stealth" the cracked version too, which isn't necessary.

They need a way to bypass stealth mode when it activates on cracked games that don't need to be stealthed.

I've also read at the TC forums that some games activate stealth mode that didn't need it, further validating the need to bypass it if we want.

Yeah, sounds like a clean mode also to me, which is not really a new mode. But for the cyclods evo, it is.

I run those games in clean mode also on my EZ5 v2 whith a kernel released in october 2007 !
BTW, i'm glad to see that cyclops team has adapted this mode to the cyclods evo. I will give a try on mine.

@Rayder : clean mode is made to emulate a game as closer as the retail one which mean to patch the arm bin the less as possible, so no feature like cheat, softreset ....

Now i have a question about this stealth mode, will it need a fast microSD card like it was the case for clean mode ?

It isnt even clean mode, its being patched like normal just the enhanced features are disabled.

How exactly do you know this? Furthermore, if it is still being patched then how come the clean ROM's work, where as they fail on all other carts that apply patches (including AK2)?
