Maybe it is going to be released with the SC DStwo (Definitly getting one of those when they come out!)

Come to think of it. I do know you. You were one of those HUGE SPAMMERS. Don't spam here now, because that's not allowed. And I thought only Active Users were given the Beta EOS. I don't see your name on it.

Evolution OS release dates/info:
* 12/30/09 First release of the beta, lacks two files so it wasn't working.
* 12/31/09 Added the files that the first release was lacking, so it should be counted as the initial version.
* 01/06/10 Added a new skin (Crystal Blue), fixed rtg (realtime-guide), supports text files, added auto-bookmark for the rtg
PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR THE OS FILES, THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, ONLY FOR SOME USERS THAT WERE SELECTED AS BETA TESTERS.
Well, as you may know, some of the users of this forums got to review the beta of the new Evolution OS that will be on the DS Two card and also on the other slot 1 Supercards (that is DS One, DS One SDHC and DS One i).
First, one of the things that have been asked a lot lately, yes it is faster. I could move through my directories and files faster than before and loading the games seems to be faster too.
The interface is clean, less cluttered and looks a bit better. Also the folders appear on the touch screen by default and the stylus can be used.
I'll be posting screenshots, just give me a bit of time to write/post.
The beta version came with a Christmas themed skin.
Sorry if the screenshots are blurry, it's kind of late here so i'm in a hurry, lol. And as info, i'm using a DS Phat and a Supercard DS One SDHC.

The interface, showing the menus and some directories (i have my roms on separate directories). First showing the icon mode (normally it would show the game icons, but since i have all of them in different folders, that's what you see, lol) and next the mode that shows only the names (list mode).
In list mode you can return or advance a full page of roms/folders pressing the LEFT/RIGHT directional buttons, making the navigation a bit faster when you have a lot of files.
When restarting the card it starts with the mode that was selected the last time.
You can switch between modes pressing Select. And also, you can access to the menus pressing Start, pretty convenient if you ask me, lol.
Check the original post for the pictures
There are a good amount of options in the menus, most of them already known, like the card speed, select the languages, change the theme. There are also some new, like the Run mode option that selects if the game runs patched or in clean mode (it was before on the set patch section), an option to select the brightness, the multi saver section, etc.
The options in the Setup menu, Saver menu and Cheat menu:
Check the original post for the pictures
Just like with the old OS, when you highlight a rom you can change some rom settings, with the old OS the menu was activated pressing X, but here it's activated pressing Y. The options are Multi Saver (to select which savegame do you want to use for the game, it goes from 1 to 4), the Save Size (same contents as the menu), Enable or Disable cheats and access to the cheat menu, which is one of the most expected things in the new OS.
The cheats are downloaded using the usrcheat.dat instead of separated .scc files (haven't checked if they still work).
Screenshots of the rom settings dialog and the cheat menu (showing the cheats for Mario & Luigi RPG 3, as you can see it is skinned and shows the cheats without cutting the names):

Ah, an auto bookmark feature? That's quite a good feature to have with something like that. That makes the RTG far easier to use for some purposes (such as translation guides).
so how fast/slow is this new OS? in the review it only said that it's "faster than before," but just about everything is faster than before so that's kind of meaningless.....
how's the speed compared to say M3 Sakura or Cyclo's OS? In terms of bootup or navigating within menus, etc?

Hard to tell as NOBODY HAS IT YET other than the beta testers. Once the OS is actually released a comparison can be done by somebody who has more than just a Supercard.

the sdonei boots slightly faster now with the EOS beta3 maybe due to it not doing the start up sound
but in PDA mode i dont think its any faster than in OS3 SP8 scroling threw games (which is fast now)
i have three carts ez-flash vi, cyclods & dsonei & you cant compare the three booting as they do it differently but the order is
1. dsonei - boots straight to games but takes a second
2. cyclods- boots to menu (games - moonshell - setting) guicker than the dsonei at doing this but then you have to click games
3. ez-flash vi - boots straight to games but has double boot screens (dont no why) takes the longest
EDIT
spelling mistake
You won't be able to turn them on and off individually after booting a game (apparently you can in the DSTwo version due to it using the extra processor and RAM?). You can still turn them all on or all off though.rasputin said:
Looks like there's been another update to the thread as of yesterday
What I find interesting there is the "multi OS support". Is this the rumoured iPlayer compatibility or just the ability to multiboot the Supercard with something else?

I would bet it's a built in ability to have a sort of multi boot thing going on (like how you can use Bliss' Loader to do that right now). It's a good idea, I'm too used to having MoonShell2 start on boot if I hold button Y.
-BUMP- There has been a confirmation that the Supercard EOS will be RELEASED before Chinese New Year (so it's going to be February 13, 2010).
