I have recently gotten into the hobby of collecting flashcarts, and the CycloDS carts were no exception. I am willing to pay anywhere from 20-40 dollars for an Evolution but for an iEvolution I will pay double. Hopefully I can finish my collection because I knew that these cards would be tough to find!

I grabbed one off here for $25 and I thought it was a steal for the iEvo

I guess it's a really niche cart and the DSi end kind of sucks, the DS end is so nice I kind of don't care. I'm sure the normal cart has it but homebrew reset was something I never saw anywhere else.

its a card that always interested me..
could you elaborate on the reasons why the dsi part sucks?
homebrew reset? do you mean reset back to menu from a game?

DSi part sucks since nearly every scene dump - even if it's labeled as DSi and the data is there, they aren't 1/1 and the iEvo will not load anything DSi enhanced without a real proper DSi dump. Literally every scene release I tried, DSi only or enhanced doesn't work on it, be ready to dump your own games or you'll be sad.

I meant soft reset, yes. Every cart I had (original R4 clone, AK2, DSTWO, some R4 knockoff from 2017) all included retail reset, but all of them couldn't reset from a homebrew app. Evo can try to do it, some stuff it doesn't work, some it will try and crash, others it works. It's nice it's there anyway.

There have been many PROPER dumps in the past few years. You may want to check again. But even then the ievo's compatibility is only about 50%.

The R4i Gold 3DS Plus by r4ids.cn (and maybe the original R4, I'm not sure) can reset from homebrew these days, too.

The right one is the best because it connects to pokemon stadium 1.

P2P dumps? I checked the DB for releases and haven't seen any redumped DSi games when I got the thing.

Also, cool they bothered with a knock off cart. The original R4 (or the clone of it, which were common until around 2010 or so) is completely different in terms of design.
