CycloDS iEVO
New Information

GBATemp has secured a review sample of the CycloDS iEVO. While we wait for the sample to ship we asked a few questions about the first DSi-mode Flash Kit. We asked about DSi/DS mode confirmation, the G.U.I., and the possibility of a DSi Homebrew SDK. Team Cyclops has been very forthcoming and happily answered our brief questions.

QUOTE(From Team Cyclops)

• The cart does indeed run in DSi mode, and in fact it has two modes of operation – DSL mode and DSi mode. The mode is selectable through the CycloDS GUI settings screen.
• iEVO will be using the updated CycloDS GUI which has been undergoing testing recently. It looks almost identical to the regular EVO GUI.
• While we will not be releasing a SDK as such, we will be posting information and code snippets which can be integrated into currently available homebrew SDK’s such as libnds. Changes required to get homebrew functioning properly in DSi mode are actually quite minimal anyway, so most existing homebrew will be able to benefit from the faster clock speeds etc without much trouble.

The idea of Homebrew being quickly ported to DSi mode is something that interests us very much. More information will be posted when it becomes available, especially anything which pertains to the SDK. The review will be started as soon as the review sample arrives, and will begin with a hands-on impressions post. Stay tuned tempers!

I am pretty disappointed that no SDK will be releasedw, but if they have any plans to release native homebrew and emulators this may be a cart to seriously consider.

Will it able to run some code faster if it's used (ex: emulators) ? Will it have a SDK to handle it ? Edited by Mbmax, 27 December 2010 - 11:38 AM.
