I'm looking to replace my now (IMO) obsolete R4. I consider the CycloDS and SCDS1 as the #1 and #2 slot1 flashcarts currently on the market respectively and I'm very much considering the Cyclo, but I worry that their popularity might cause them to soon be attacked as the R4 was and I'd end up with another obsolete cart with no support. (yes, I know that saying the R4 is obsolete, or that Ninty had anything to do with their rumored demise is very speculative, but let's run with that for the sake of this discussion, mmkay?)
Who would you guys say is #3 right now? Or maybe a better way of putting it, what's a flashcart that is relatively obscure, but VERY good. Or should I just stick to my original plan of getting a Cyclo?
Main REQUIRED features:
SDHC
High (100%?) DS game compatibility (duh)
Supports DLDI auto-patching
Excellent homebrew support
Supports loading a full-featured slot2 card (NOT just a 3in1....a SCminiSD or M3 Perfect...something like that)
Supports (or comes with) Moonshell or otherwise plays DPG's and MP3's well.
Supports the official GBAtemp cheats
Constant support from its firmware team.
Not ridiculous with silly options that you have to fiddle with to do basic stuff....an intuitive UI. (this is the main reason I'm not considering the SCDS1...or has most of that been fixed?)
Not a lame clone.
Bonus features (if possible):
Real-Time Save
Skin support
Do you think my worrying about the Cyclo ending up like the R4 is baseless? Would I be stupid to even consider anything other than a Cyclo since I can afford one easily? Do any other flaschcarts even come close to the feature lists of the Cyclo or SCDS1? Is the SCDS1 really that ridiculous with it's options?
I'm DEFINITELY buying a new flashcart within the next couple weeks and it probably WILL be the Cyclo, but any recommendations, speculation or discussion of what I said above is welcome.
Heh, and NO I will NOT be buying a DSX.
