Additional info regarding the CycloDS iEvolution

[EpicJungle]

Noooo

I was so excited for this

This isn't news. This is exactly what TC said on their web site. Exactly what they said in their press release. Is this article for the stupid people who just read the first line of the press release and thought there was a new magic cart. Temp should write a new article titled "Bad news the DSTWO emulators, video player, and iReader really suck." "Bad news the new DSTT firmware is a ripoff". Now I'm not going to buy one of these unless some good things develop around the card but I wish GBATEMP would give the same level of scrutiny to other cards.

And finally, the last of the 3 features we were expecting: DSiware ROM support. Well don't hold your breath because that will probably never come.

It has never been claimed that the iEVO will have DSiWare ROM support. That was only a hope of a bunch of tempers.

That's what the quote says... we were expecting it because they promised something BIG that will make A LOT of us happy. And not to mention the card releasing this late... you can't help BUT think that.

+1 Agreed.

I never hopped on the hype bandwagon, so it doesn't really surprise me that the cart doesn't do many of the things that people were hoping it was going to do. I am a little disappointed (but not surprised) that it doesn't do half the things it is advertised to do. I guess I'll stick to playing retail carts on my dsi.

I think that's wrong, state the truth and if some people can't handle it, than that's their problem

Owing to shortages of one component used in manufacturing the iEVO cartridge, manufacturing has been delayed by about a month, meaning that shipments of the product will first be shipped second week January. We apologize to resellers and customers alike, however this is beyond our control.

Due to an internal miscommunication, we initially erroneously announced that our product in relation to DSi mode homebrew supported access to the DSi internal SD slot. We quickly amended the news post on our website after the posting, to clarify the features list. Regardless, access to the CycloDS iEVO MicroSD slot is obviously available to homebrew software.

In respect of DSi-enhanced ROM support which we promised for future release. Our team has been working hard to implement this feature to reward our loyal customers for their patience and support. We hope to please our users by announcing that BETA support is now in place for properly dumped DSi-enhanced ROM’s and this will be available ON RELEASE of the iEVO (for USA and European consoles). We will continue to improve and support DSi-enhanced ROM’s in the future and of course DSi mode support will be enabled in future iEVO firmwares for remaining regions of DSi consoles. We have seen mention of DSiWare ROM support. We are currently investigating this and hope to be able to support this feature in the future.

We hope that in future, review sites will seek clarification from us before posting unconfirmed news, to avoid confusion and to help protect the reputation of their site. Samples for review and homebrew developers are now being assembled and we will ship before general release to the public!

So we have

DSi mode homebrew: Yes
Internal SD slot support: No
DSi-enhanced ROM support: in the future
DSiWare support: in the future (maybe)

But as I said, USB loaders weren't developed on the first day of Wii homebrew. Patience guys, patience..

Not that I was planning on getting one but it supposedly doesn't work on Australian DSi either?

European DSi = Australian DSi

 

[Pliskron]

DSi enhanced games will indeed be ready and implemented for the release of the IEvolution. As far as DSi ware is concerned it was well known that would not be implemented. This is a very poorly written article and factually inaccurate.

 

[impizkit]

This is a very poorly written article and factually inaccurate.

I have to highly agree with this. I expect far more from gbatemp. The Cyclo Website, in there clerification post, called gbatemp out on this too.

 

[WiiUBricker]

nvm

 

[ShadowSoldier]

I think you guys are forgetting something. This article wasn't written to give out false information.

It's basically for those of us who hopped on the hype train, and fell into the hype. This is basically just confirmation for us for what we wanted, we're not getting.

 

[RoMee]

I rather take costello's word over TC

TC have clearly showed how incompetent they are
can't maintain a forum, can't maintain a website, can properly update their cart
flip flopping on features and release dates

We quickly amended the news post on our website after the posting, to clarify the features list.

Don't matter how much hype fanboys put on this, most people lost interest, and by the time this cart becomes available to other people (china, japan, etc) most people would have moved on

Well I wonder why Costello never called out the DSTWO for making a crap emulator that runs at 10 fps and a e Reader that doesn't work. Seemed like temp was all set to hype a really carp product in that case and many other like it so I'll take the word of TC on this one.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Plis, we get it, you absolutely hate the DSTWO. But this thread isn't about it, so drop it.

How do you know? Are you a clairvoyant or something?
