CycloDS iEvolution released

Team Cyclops has updated the cyclods site with New Stable firmware for both the Evolution and iEvolution

1.2.2011

CycloDS Evolution firmware v2.0 has been released for both Evolution and iEvolution and is available for download from the support page.

This firmware release is special for two reasons - first and foremost it marks the official release of our new product, CycloDS iEvolution. Secondly, this release makes the new and improved CycloDS GUI available to mainstream users, bringing with it improvements such as bookmarks, enhanced skinning, enhanced cheat code support, multiple save slots, file management and much more.

Changes in this release include:

That's great news, I look forward to reviews of the iEvo.

DSi mode homebrew sounds great, if it's just a compatibility layer.
All the DSi mode homebrew I tried with sudokuhax didn't behave 200% faster like I had expected either.

So, out of curiosity, the Smugleaf skin I made for CycloDS should also work on DSi right, same firmware, same interface?

Yes, the skins have backwards compatibility.

That's great news.
I just read up on the forum, and it seems like they can force DS roms to run in DSi mode for added performance.
Immediately I'm reminded of Sonic Rush Adventure, the title intro for that would never run fullspeed on any flashcart I can think of, I'd love to test that.

And another big deal, does forced DSi mode open the possibility for WPA encryption support on old DS games?

Are the save issues with older games (like Spirit Tracks, Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime or Alice in Wonderland) which were in 1.61 still present in the Evolution Firmware v2.0?

Are any of those for Mini-land Mayhem?

Yay, Mario vs DK fixed (dsi 101), finally

 

[Rayder]

I'm just glad that the new GUI is now out of beta and has become the main FW for the standard CycloDS. No more old GUI.....yay.

 

[Ryupower]

rename
config_debug.xml
to
config.xml

and you should be able to keep your old setting and bookmarks you had in B.X versions

 

[Mbmax]

I'm able to run the cooking game in DSi mode on my iEvo with the camera feature. Well done TC.

Amazing!

 

[Exsoul01]

yay, I loving the new GUI.

 

[chyyran]

Can I Have a screenshot of the new GUI v. the old GUI? I might consider buying a CycloDSi after I get my 3DS. That, and can you run homebrew in DS mode too?

 

[Etalon]

It took me weeks to find pictures of the new GUI. I was asking that myself.

Have a look at the iEvo reviews at YouTube, you'll see the difference there.

You have a favourites button instead the Moonshell button and / or your favourites and / or last played game at the CycloDSi 'front page'.

That's the only thingt I'm missing in Akaio right now, btw.

 

[haddad]

I am gonna get this flashcard soon =)

 

[Etalon]

Me too, haddad. But let's wait what Another World has to say about it first...

Game compatibility should be almost 100% now, now let's wait and see if this fancy DSi stuff works.

I'd really like to keep DSi mode switched "ON" all the time, is that possible now? (If you don't mind checking 5'500 ROMs for me lol)

 

[chyyran]

Yeah, but alot of homebrews don't function well in DSi mode
