Does slowmotion works for EVERY game? No pre-patching necessary? Does R4 support slowmotion?

Slow-motion MAY break some games. I don't believe they could have tested every single game. But I don't think any problems have been reported yet.

No pre-patching is necessary whatsoever. But results may vary with slow-motion, for example; it makes Elite Beat Agents a million times harder. The slow motion isn't "fluid" enough to be satisfactory in specific situations, but that varies from game to game.

You were trying to make it EASIER weren't you? For like super awesome perfect replays or some shit like that, right?

First of all the entire Enhanced Mode menu is a case of the DS running external code in the middle of a game, so that argument doesn't work.

From what the TeamCyclops guy said in the post euphemism linked, it sounds like the way they'll be implementing the screenshot thing is to dump the entire contents of VRAM (probably to the card's internal 2MB of flash rather than to the microSD card) and then processing that data the next time you boot the card to generate a BMP image of what was on the screen. If so, d33t is right, it would be a lot like the realtime save feature, but much simpler.

I don't see any real reason why they couldn't implement both of these, but we'll just have to wait and see, won't we? At this time, saying either that it positively will or won't happen is...stupid.


...word is bondage...

im inpressed with the results so far. This card looks like its going to turn out number 1 and no one can argue with that. The price also seems very reasonable for all the features it has. So shaun if you had to pick one thing you dont like about it what would that be

 

[sidneyyoung]

The slow motion is not smooth or consistent ??? seems weird since SC managed it with even with slot-2's

my guess is the cheat engine isn't on par with the SC team either and will suffer the same slow-down problem as the R4

Hey, get this card from an American on Asian site because they're much cheaper than the UK sites

US = £28
UK = £35

WTF?!

Stupid currency, shipping, packaging BS.

Most of the increase is import tax and VAT... I have an extension for Firefox (ViewMyCurrency) that automatically translates foreign currencies into a local currency. Using this it's really easy to see the price differences...

Get me, it happens with alot of products, games, software and electronics (not same thing but similar). Microsoft Windows Vista is a prime example of all this BS tax that they add.

[James Kudo]

Sorry for being a nub, but what's an 'SDHC card'?

 

[Öhr]

SDHC = Secure Digital High Capacity

new format of SD and microSD cards. SDHC cards can have up to 32GB capacity!

 

[Bergunzo]

where is shaun666?

he didn't made already the review? and there're a lot of releases missing ( fantastic four, touch darts and a few others)

 

[111111111]

chism's cheat engine (NitroHax for those who don't know) is useless for running games off a flash cart -- it only works on original DS carts.

He's talking about the cheat CODE to alter brightness ingame (that can be used with nitrohax, an official AR or a flashcarts builtin ar engine), and not nitrohax itself.

The Cyclo team truly is great!

Now i think I have made a big mistake. Afterall I sold my M3 last month, then why have I bough R4? I am dumb...

Made a big mistake

If you see around the r4 forum and the cyclo forum. The difference is like hell and heaven.

Cyclo really got good support.

oh well no other choice... going to buy one and waiting for the next M3 gadget

 

[h8uthemost]

Meh...everyone seems to be drooling over this cart. None of the slot 1's I own are "perfect". So I'm not expecting this one to be either.

I'll wait a couple weeks before I decide if I"ll buy this one or not. By then, hype will have died down, and the real news will be out on it.

 

[Agjsdfd]

I gues you are right.

I can remember the GBA generation at the beginning, and how fast it grew(oh well game support was good from the beginning), I gues I can wait unitl the most improvement gadget comes out. I dont see any in the very near future, might take one more year

.

Anyways R4 isnt bad either, only thing: POR cheats doesnt work properly(white screen...).

 

[Modrak]

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

You play a game. Inside. So you play at level-1. Then you leave, go on the bus, sun outside...so you set it higher...

 

[gab10]

do anyone know what is real time save?
is it really possible for nds?
or just for gba?

 

[mcp2]

Real time save hasn't been implemented yet but will be in the future.

I think it is the ability of saving the state of the game whenever.
