Team Cyclops site has been up and down so many times in the past I wouldn't worry about it till it is down longer that a month or so.

There was a rumor (repeat: RUMOR) going around that TC plans to update at the end of this month (September).....we shall see. The rumor goes that they plan to fix the iEVO and continue to update the regular EVO. I'll believe that when I see it.

I've been trying to remain faithful and I HOPE they do update, but I'm rapidly losing faith in that prospect. http://cyclopsds.com/cgi-bin/cyclods/engine.pl is just POOF! now, but the forums are still up.....who knows how long that will be before the forums go POOF! too. TC? Well, they are completely incommunicado, other than form-letter answers to direct queries, which inspires very little hope in my eyes.

There is blurb about a Cyclo360 floating around now....an X-Box 360 modchip. But with TC's current track-record, you'd have to be pretty desperate (or ignorant of their lack of support) to buy anything further from TC......as the situation stands now.

To be honest, I think TC HAS abandoned us. It's not really all that surprising for EVO owners if you think about it, but the iEVO didn't even last a year before they stopped supporting it. That's just pathetic when you consider how much they charge for their carts. But what are we gonna do, sue them for not supporting their illegal cart because we can't continue our illegal activities as efficiently as we could before? Yeah, right.....thanks a bunch for leaving my dick in the dirt TC. I won't forget that. We pirates aren't the forgiving type.

I still have a few milligrams of hope left, but that is failing fast. TC seems to have this song in mind when it comes to their products now:

We're over halfway through September now......less than two weeks before we know for sure. If October comes and we still don't have an update, then TC is truly dead to me.

Oh! But they want to sell you this new 360 modchip.........I don't fracking think so. They would have to come up with one hell of a gnarly update for EVO/iEVO before I'd ever trust them again with any of MY money, especially after paying such a premium price for the cart. YWG and RetroGameFan fix games and maintain viability to various carts for free, but TC can't manage it at ~$50 a pop for the products they sell. How sad is that?

[in the most sarcastic tone I can muster] Thanks TC! Some Vaseline would have been nice before you screwed us.

Just like Arnold Schwarzenegger said in Total Recall while dressed in the fat lady outfit at the space port, "Two Weeks!" If nothing happens by then, then if it was up to me, TC should be the ones who should "get ready for a surprise"......but the brainwashed sheep will continue to stampede.....and TC will continue to suck up cash for doing nothing, selling their ALL-NEW 360 modchip, for which there will likely be very poor support.

But they already got your money, so what do they care. Take the money and run.

This is something that has been in my mind for a while now. The Evo was one nice piece of hardware, but on today's markets, it's just plain overpriced for the (lack of) updates we have been getting. Not going to invest in a product by them unless there is really a need for specific homebrew to run on certain hardware ie. DSi mode. Comparing DSi mode homebrew to for example PSP homebrew is just a letdown.. Sure it's a different console, but the difference in power.. Meh..

Their site is up now but the forums are broken.
I really do hope they continue supporting the iEvo, if only to update it with new game exploits when they get patched. The cart isn't even usable on DSi/3DS now until you can get an outdated DSi/3DS to use to switch it to DSi-mode, which is a huge hassle. I hope they improve the compatibility layer too but I don't count on it.
I used to be a CycloDS fanboy until their updates slowed down. I miss the day it was the best, no other cart had all the features it had. Nowadays the DSTWO has all that and more, but I had a bad experience with my DSONE so I'm not sure I want another SuperCard flashcart, and the extra power consumption of the DSTWO's built in CPU doesn't tempt me.

They should just release the source code and be done with it...

Another World · Sep 20, 2011

even when cyclops had things like real time save, akaio had a higher rom and homebrew compatibility. extra features are cool but at the end of the day i would rather pay more for a VERY basic flash kit with near perfect compatibility than for features i can live without (but enjoy having when they are there).

a somewhat less than known fact is that many of the cyclops rom updates were taken from the open source rpg firmware by gelu. they never credited him nor did they release their source code as per the license.

they were a quick team but they have never been very honest. right now that lack of honesty is making many users question their $50+ ievo purchase.

That's something I've heard rumors about, but never received any confirmation.. Figures that that has happened after Normmatt or someone else mentioned about the iEvo using someone else's code. IIRC one of the TC GBA slot carts was a 1:1 copy of the SuperCard GBA cart. This was at least mentioned in around 2009 or something..

Some confusion... The first cyclo card was likely a clone but the CycloDS itself was made before the RPG... The code of the RPG was ripped to the EOS etc ...

Since 2010 TC had given credits to people like Yellow Goblin and lately Wintermute...

Now I fear we need more than code at least a reversing god or God himself... to revive the revolution

Not sure why but after the main page was restored a couple of days ago, they did bold the part of the changelog that says "DSi mode is now supported on 3DS". Would make you wonder why they did this
