CycloDS iEvolution released

[Etalon]

Errr... Homebrew is great blah blah. But I am a really evil guy, I use my homebrew device for piracy.

But Lameboy and NDS-GBA should work. I hope................

 

[chyyran]

They'll have to be recoded, as their programmed to run on the flashcards's processor.

And I just saw the reviews, I don't see much difference

Also, I would to know if the exploit is in the software or hardware, that's like the deciding factor for me, if it is software, then it can be ported.

The GUI looks quite the same, yes. It's just the center button (Moonshell or Favourites) and three or four mini icons as your favourites.

Maybe some die hard oldschool Cyclo fans could write an illustrated manual about that? I'm sure others are interested in the GUI now as well...

anyone test any dsi only game or do they not work yet ??

There's a bit more to it than that.

Yeah! Tell us! Show us! We are Cyclo virgins. Seduce us.

If I remember correctly wasn't there previously some trouble with touch screen controls for homebrew when in DSi mode? I just tried Dont Get Crushed and Multi View in DSi mode with this new firmware and the touch screen controls are now functional for both of them. Nice update

The new GUI should look a little something like this.

...Actually, that's just a mock-up image I made quite some time ago, April 2008 in fact!

It ended up being a popular suggestion and it looks like Team Cyclops officially implemented the feature, so I'm pretty glad.
Now the question is, where do I buy me this iEvo?

Are you thinking about that recent SudokuHax exploit, the one that can run homebrew without a flashcart?
If there were touchscreen problems with that method, it was because the homebrew was compiled with an old version of libnds.
Actually from what I've heard, the iEvo is supposed to implement a compatibility layer for homebrew, in other words it makes old homebrew compatible with the DSi mode.

There are some fancy holidays now in China, they won't ship anything in the next days.

My favourite China shop doesn't have the iEvo now.

The only shop I know about is this 0shipping thing, but I've never ordered from them.

Anyway, this will take some time now. I don't think that I can hold an iEvo in my hands for 3-4 weeks...

It's Chinese New Years on February 3rd, lol.
Chinese businesses tend to close up for a couple of days around Chinese holidays.

I don't know if you'd consider any of these features groundbreaking but...

Pop-up menu added to game list for performing various operations on the currently selected item

Cheats codes are now managed on a per game basis through the pop-up menu

A bookmark system has been added. Any ROM (game/homebrew) or folder can be bookmarked, and bookmarks can be displayed in one of two possible modes. The first mode displays each bookmark as a square icon on the main menu, while the second mode displays the bookmarks in a list and is accessed through the moonshell icon. The modes can be toggled via the settings menu

Support for multiple save slots has been added, with the save slot selected through the pop-up menu

RTS file management has been moved to the pop-up menu

Basic file operations (copy/move/delete) have been added and are accessed through the pop-up menu. File operations can be globally disabled through a setting in the configuration XML file

The scrollbar now works correctly

Several settings which were previously only accessible from the configuration XML file can now be manipulated through the settings menu

Different "wallpapers" for the bottom screen can now be specified for the main menu, the game list and the cheat list

Built-in icons for folders, NDS games and GBA games can now be replaced with custom icons

Tweaks to touch screen operation

Save sizes up to 32MB can now be specified individually per game

Pop-up menu is now accessible from the main menu by pressing Y while a bookmark is selected. This facilitates operations on the selected bookmark without first locating it in the game list

Added option to display last executed file in the bookmark list. Toggle option from the settings menu

Its now possible to customise the button combination to launch the last executed file, though the settings menu

Added the old cheat enable prompt as an option for those who prefer the old method of enabling cheat codes

Menu button is more responsive via touch screen

Revised the game list view modes - now there are simply 3 modes: ROM, file and recent. Big/small icons can be selected via the settings menu

Added text file viewer

Added option to show all file types in the file browser

Last played bookmark now shown in main menu bookmark mode

Old cheat prompt now supported when launching from main menu bookmark

Tweak to ROM view in small icon mode (thanks Solanum)

Maximum number of files per directory increased to 256

Changes to skin specification to support additional icon types for text file and unknown file

Festivities are for 2 weeks, sorry to break the news to ya.

More stuff for me!

Canadian-Chinese FTW!

Sold! I'll get one. Sounds just like Akaio now. lol.

I waited and didn't buy a DS2, and now I'll get Cyclo DSi.

Poeople laughted at me and pointed their fingers at me ("The guy without a DS2"), and now it's my turn.

Just one last question: Can I use the UFO to update a totally different flashcard... like... the iEdge..?

Well, you're still "the guy without a DS2."
And no, the iEdge is a completely different cart, if you tried to update it with the UFO, it would probably either not work or brick the cart.

Does this card have a proper

I know your pain man. Until october this year I had an M3 PERFECT (old-ass SLOT2 cart)

I got a dstwo then. and since I only have a phat, I needn't worry about this new card.

The only thing that really sucks is that nobody is gonna code DSTWO apps anymore, they'll all go to DSi mode.

Stuffs can't last forever, I guess

lol. I don't think so..........

iEdge & iEvo & Onei only need this thing to get power. The UFO won't brick any card for sure, it's just like inserting a card into a DS Phat.

Where did you study flash card science? I should call your teacher...

@Davi92: No. Obviously there's something build into the firmware, but it's not working as Akaio or EZ Vi. I don't know what it is. Take it as something in between Wood and Akaio. You still need updates. But since there aren't much new ROMs, that not important anymore like it was a year ago. We're coming to an end.

Yup, you either redirect

 

[Etalon]

Since this is a "high-end" cart, I hoped they had gone for the first option

Yes, I know. Some AP games actually work without an update. Nobody knows what they are doing there. The hardcore Cyclo fans aren't interested in this stuff, and the others don't have a Cyclo.

Anyway, we all have an Acekard for playing DS ROMs perfectly. Now it's time for DSi ROMs. And Dsi homebrew. Yipppeee!

 

[haddad]

I really want to get this flashcard now lol
