HALLELUJAH!
THIS IS BEST CARD EVER. PRAISE THE LORD.

*creams pants* I think my r4 is being relegated to my ex-gf if it turns out that this has tight d/l play support and doesn't require microSDs that are of a decent quality.

LOL, my fiancee has been eyeing up my R4. Reckon I'll get myself a Cyclo and she can keep the R4 then, or if the Cyclo is worse, I'll have me R4 back!

 

[Logan]

I'll have to check that tomorrow when I get my ds and r4 back. thanks, cos  mine freezes while playing mp3s way too often.


No promises on MP3's... I've never tried it. It works for CoR, though.

I've had issues with a couple of games freezing, has this solved that particular issue for you then? No more freezing!?

Yes... I haven't had any more freezing in PoR after doing this. I played through most of the game, too.

I would peel the sticker right off! =)

So pretty much this thing is the N-Card but has presumbly softreset and way better download play..

It's more like cheese, but then with a MicroSD slot, a different shape, and it can play all roms/dldisupportinghomebrew/downloadplay, etc.
Saying it's 'just like' N-Card isn't correct here, it uses external storage instead of a slow slot2 thing, different UI, way better dp-compatibility, and more feautures...

@topic: Can we have the skinning files? I'd like to see how much is skinnable and how.

I'm also interested in the problematic games compatibility, which other cards had to depend on good MicroSD's like Castleavania PoR and THPS Downhill thing.

Hello all

I receive too my sample today (in order to make a review on my French blog of linker test) and I wonder something:

Mine is hard to put out from the ds. Indeed, when I push it to make it leave frome the slot 1, there is a resistance, I have to push hard in order to make the arises work. shaunj66 do you notice something like that ?
My post might be funny, because I am French, so explaining such a technichal thing...lol


But appart from that, at a first view, this linker seems to propose really interessant options

 

[sidneyyoung]

does it have disco lights ?

 

[Sinkhead]

does it have disco lights ?

If it was the Cyclo-X, Yes
Luckily it's not

How will they ever compete with the DS-X's flashing Lights!
Oh, I forgot, PERFECT download play

Seems like the best cart out. I won't be getting one though. My DS Linker is meant to be arriving tomorrow - I expect that'll keep me satisfied for a while.

Some of the evolution's features seem to make it perfect:
-Download play
-SDHC support
-Soft reset
-Change brigtness in-game

Plus the multi-lingual, clean and skinnable interface tie it all together.

As long as everything works like it's meant to I can't really think of anything more I could need.... Maybe password protection on a folder to keep my porn in?

I want it. But not that bad. I can wait until the next cart comes out to upstage this one. And I can't WAIT to see what comes after this.

And I can't WAIT to see what comes after this.

How about GBA support?

I made a skin for it. It's in the Evolution's skinning forum. http://www.teamcyclops.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=14. Tell me what you think of it. Looks like the first unofficial skin for it....I feel happy.

Hmm.. does this support FAT32 or only FAT16? I've tested RAW, FAT16, and FAT32 in my R4 and have them all work.

With your screen name, the thought sickens me.

 

[stormwolf18]

why would you want to change brigtness in-game ???

 

[Zim05]

To play longer when the battery is low.

 

[stormwolf18]
