CycloDS Evolution firmware v1.12 released

Bug fixes galore!

Team Cyclops have released another update to the CycloDS Evolution firmware. This brings the card up to version 1.12. This version mostly fixes some bugs and speeds up the autobooting feature.
As always, download locally right here at GBAtemp below...

  * Fixed a problem which prevented homebrew software from writing to the MicroSD card

  * Improved the compatibility with Slot 2 devices

  * Fixed a problem which made a few games hang with a white screen

  * Pressing 'B' in the cheat code list now returns you to the game list

  * Improved the speed of the "autoload" and "auto-boot to slot 2" features (now the CycloDS Evolution GUI is not displayed at all when either of these features is activated)

It's great to see Team Cyclops supporting their product this well. I can't wait for the other features to come...

Hopefully the next firmware update will include new features and bug fixes too if any.

Team Cyclops are very responsive to the new ideas on their forums, this is very refreshing.

such as which games? I'd like to test it if you know of any..
edit: and well, you cant really blame em for not having realtime save/load (i know you're not, but i'm just saying in general

) since it wasn't even a promised release.

They've mentioned in an e-mail to me that the next new firmware release might contain a couple of new features. They didn't say what they'll be, but it's something to look forward to.

Hey shaunj, when is your review coming out? God download play tests are annoying to conduct...

I don't know. I've already done extensive testing, just need to write the review but with all these new firmwares coming out, and then the promise of new features, it's making it difficult to time a review.

 

[mcp2]

Could you release an initial review and then update when the new features are implemented?

 

[jaxxster]

I ordered one last night. I hope its good!

yeah I agree, especially when new features are out when you just wrote the review

how's the general game compatiblity though? for PoR and THDJ, is it better than R4? I wish someone would put a compatibility list like scorpei's

Someone tell me a reason why I should wait for the M3 Real instead of ordering this right now.

Because you like waiting more than you like playing video games.

Doesn't seem like a very valid reason....

Downhill Jam slows down on the Evo?

As for PoR, it damn well better play fine on the Evo with a 1GB Kingston (J) card. The real test is if it works without freezing on a slow 2GB microSD card.

That's so false. I like bitching about videogames more than waiting and playing combined.

I'll wait until Monday, but I'm pretty convinced this is the definitive flashcart to replace my EZ4.

A company supporting it's product!? I'm not used to this! It might be time to give the DS-X to my sister and snag me one of these

Why would you want to replace the EZ4. Keep it as a slot 2, it has the best GBA game compatibility I have seen.

 

[jalaneme]

be weary people, it may look good now, but a few months down the line their "support" could disappear, that's what i am waiting for to see if they really have good support....

and the fact that their flash cart don't support action replay xml files is a bummer too.

It's a great card. Read the review at NDSS.NL: CycloDS Evolution Review
