DSi + CycloDS

[redact]

can't someone create custom firmware like dark_alex did for the psp? Also, some one can put in a strand of code to prevent future updates from patching the code, something he didn't implement.

1. this is not a psp, it's a dsi, don't try to liken it to a psp or make it seem as if it's easy to write a cfw becaus for both of those things it is not
2. it's not spaghetti, you don't call it a "strand" of code, maybe a line, maybe a snippet, but not a strand

Now if only they made r4's able to be used on DSi then I would be happy.

I'll doubt that will ever happen, the R4DS was the first one to be exiled as far as flashcart company goes. You can't expect Nintendo to not watching us right now as we speak >.> If Nintendo finds out about this then its just going to be extra work for them.

check this out guys. i jsut got a call from HK. my buddy says the DSi is hacked. he runs a small game booth in a big swapmeet type of place in sen zen. he said you can run emus and nds off the SD slot. He said something about adding another channel or some crap. he is hard to understand and i cant speak chinese so.i know i know this sounds like BS. But this guy has been right about everything. He is sending me a hacked DSi and it will be here on sat. if he is right i will post a youtube video. Again im not looking for attention in fact most of the time i been a long time lurker. But he sounded really excited so he got me pumped up. Says its too complicated to explain. much easier when i have the DSi in my hands. It might be feasible since china did have pandora before dark alex released it. remember that vid in china of a guy downgrading a firmware which at the time could not be downgraded. I will keep everyone posted and if this is BS then i will be the first to say i was wrong. He swears it legit and is fedexing me a dsi right now. Please no flames. im only passing on this info. Im freakin excited as hell but im ready for dissapointment. please lets not hear any comments about dsi playing xbox360 games or crap like that. this is not one of those posts. Im gonna try and get my friend who speaks chinese to translate more but the time difference is kind of a problem since she works and isnt really at my beckin call. I'll follow up as soon as i get info and if im wrong well then shit im wrong.

he also mentioned something about bin file and he kept saying another hidden duplicate channel. i was honestly hoping the dsi would not be hacked from SD slot

again if im wrong id like to apologize for wasting anyones time. its not my intention to do that. im only speaking now because i figured what better place to break the news than the greatest nintendo site ever.

I knew it was possible but that's a long stretch. The SD slot is the only thing I can see where the DSi needs to be hacked. I even thought of a theory if you can run the DS fireware inside the SD slot that it cam work; in all this a theory.

Retiredjerk, we need to keep this a secret! I'm thinking about you uploading the video elsewhere instead of youtube. Youtube it's not safe anymore and I will be damn if Nintendo finds out about it sooner... we don't want another Ganon-banned (SSBB in-joke) on another flashcart company now do we?

 

[retiredjerk]

what really has me thinking its legit is
A. he deals in videgames daily.
B. he was so damn freakin excited on the phone. i specificially asked him if you can run NDS off the SD and he said yes. he said he was using a 1 GB card too. i emailed him to call me back but i think if he does it will be pretty much the same convo. he said big thinks are happening in HK with the DSi right now.

Again if this is BS i sincerely apologize for wasting peoples time. ill defaintely break the news here if its legit. If a hack does come out before sat. you heard it here first.

maybe cyclods and acekard dont want to realse any info how to do this because you can use the same method to use the SD slot there by making their products useless? just a will theory that dawned on me right now. maybe they are trying to find another method which cant not use the SD slot as well. again just throwing some ideas around.

The DSi is ganna get whored out through both entrances - slot-1 flashcart and SD memory slot. Whoo boy.

 

[shakirmoledina]

well it was obvious they were gonna do something about it but it seems cyclo are really aiming high and wanna be the first and best in emulation on the DSi (don't know why they like it so much at the moment).
But i must say tht Yasu is very intelligent bearing in mind tht he hacked it almost unexpectedly and very quickly in comparison to the teams

 

[RT-9]

haha funny to know the cyclo team found it disturbing that the edge was on the frontpage...
i think that this is the reason for this but yeah i should,ve done the same

 

[Maz7006]

Hope that the EDGE team area able to do this aswell, anyway great stuff from the Acekard and Cyclo DS team. Yet im still have high hopes for Yasu, he stated that he/she doesn't support the flashcards and i can see what he means by that now. I think having a flashcard and a DSi will just ruin your DSi experience and you'll feel your just booting up a normal DS lite, so alternate firmware will be much better in THIS case. The reason why that team acekard and Cytclo are still testing is probably because to see what the next firmware release for the DSi will affect on the Flashcards. Anyway, as i have said above, great stuff from Acekard and team Cyclo DS keep up the good work

 

[gk.7]

maybe r4 is next
LMFAO...

(i know you said j/k but just reading it cracks me up...)

I hope team supercard comes up with something next...

 

[Rayder]

Interestingly enough, http://www.teamcyclops.com/ is now completely down. Hopefully it's just that bandwidth limit problem they've always had towards the end of the month, but usually in that case it would at least say that the site is suspended. Right now, it's acting like it just doesn't exist.


....and they were on the verge of releasing firmware 1.5 final which was supposed to fix CT and SWJA....sigh.....

They've been down ALL DAY.....well, at least since about 5:15AM EST, which is when I went online this morning.

Bandwidth issue? Server crash? Or did Nintendo raise a stink and shut 'em down? Let's hope it was one of the former and not the latter. Somehow I doubt it has anything to do with Ninty, but you never know.

 

[Noitora]

I doubt Ninty shut them down, they're probably fixing something in the website.
