Argh, this really makes me want to get a new microSD card but I only have one, and no one will sell me one.

 

[Ferrariman]

You're not supposed to spread this news.







Who cares. I love this update!

 

[Toni Plutonij]

It's maybe a stupid question, but is it stable and safe? I mean, it's BETA, so nothings for sure, but how it will treat my microSD?

 

[sueil]

Ah man still no ingame text reader. Maybe next beta.

 

[hala]

For GBA games with GBATA patched, not 100% compatibility.
I can't play some games like mahjong and mario advance...
hope can get it fixed soon.

nah they said it wont be put in till about 1.41

 

[tinymonkeyt]

...do we put the update file and the reset.mse on the root?
or just the update?

 

[Sticks]

Read the release notes. Update goes on root, .mse goes in cyclods folder.

Hey nub, did you miss the part of the Cyclo announcement that said DONT SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH MESSAGE BOARDS AS IT IS A BETA?

Apparently not. Well, the bag's already open, so I'll just say I'm not having any problems with it, using my new 4 gig Transcend card. I have yet to test Pocket Physics...

 

[gizmo_gal]

Aww, poor kid. He just got excited and I am really thrilled to hear this news though (I missed it)
hopefully, by the time I get my cyclo all the bugs will have been worked out

 

[roflcopters]

im not going to lie, this beta is way better then the normal one. its got gba and new ez flash 3-in-1 suport!

 

[jalaneme]

i'm going to wait for a final release like always.

 

[Defiance]

Aww, the GBA loader uses different saves then the 3 in 1...

 

[DespizingU]

Yeah, definitely don't get your hopes up for the next beta. I've pretty much given up on this feature. It's been rumored for months that it has been near completion. But now TC says that "Unfortunately, the in-game text reader is still quite far from completion". So we'll see if it actually makes in time for 1.41 or not.

i would absolutely love it if they had homebrew soft-reset for emulators... that would own so hard!

 

[SleepingDragon]

That would definitely be awesome. Works great so far.

 

[Tyralyon]

Aww, the GBA loader uses different saves then the 3 in 1...

Hmm, maybe someone could make a converter?

......Shuny? ^^

The soft reset works for NeoDs. If you're playing a rom, hit the button to change roms/pause the game (same thing, i use it for both) then jam all 6 buttoms, and ka-plow! it resets back to the Cyclo OS

I haven't tested it with any Nes or Snes emus yet though.

What exactly is this? Does this need GBA flashcart?

Ingame text reader?

Sheesh, I've got lots to learn.
