DSi + CycloDS

[Monkey01]

What's interesting to note is that BOTH of these videos(acekard's and cyclo's) start within their GUI already. We never see the points from off to boot. So whatever it is they are doing, they appear not to be showing it.

The DSi is updateable, so if they would show it, Nintendo would probably fix the bug even before they could release their new something...

Correct me if im wrong, but I think that's only if you conect to the internet and download the ugrades, right? So pretty much you'll have your flash card working, but your DSi wont be updated. We all know that the new DSi is almost the same as the Lite, and obviously Nintendo decided to do something about flash carts since they really can't controll it. So, either you play your roms or not keep your DSi updated.

Lol, showing a little graphics doesn't automatically let Nintendo understand what the bug is

The code that runs underneath it is what is important.

They could just show off some graphics saying "HAX IN PROGRESS"

If they don't show it, it's probably because it's something bulky/difficult that would scare CycloDS aficionados off, and they probably also don't want to make the other teams know what exploit type they're currently using to create that "uber-haxor" aura around them

Yes, but if it's fixed before it's even certain there is something that can effectively used to make the flashcards work, and it comes with nice features. People will just update it. Not to mention EU/US versions will be shipped with that new firmware.
Also I think you probably need the latest version of firmware to use the DSi software shop, and I think if you're missing out on all those stuff, you would be better of with just a DSLite...

Nope, but it would help. If they would show some game and they start a saved file with some weird chars in it, I'm pretty sure they'll fix it like the twilight hack... would probably take them a couple of tries, but still...

"First Teams" lol - you are either the first team or you aren't. AK were, cyclo lost the race this time...


EDIT : That's aimed at the front page news (which linked to here) BTW, not anyone on this thread.

 

[Wabsta]

Have they already been looking in the firmware? Or does it maybe use IOS thingies?
If so, there are alway workarounds, if Nintendo decides to update..

True that

Oh well, better not give any idea to Nintendo

Nice job team cyclops! Also, the firmware is 1.5, which mean that they are not dead!

 

[Beware]

OMFGZ!!!!! The Cyclo team can implement code that the AceKard team created! CycloDS is the greatest flash cart EVAR!!!!! Everyone go and buy one right now!!!!!! [/troll]


But srsly, is there going to be a huge thread every time a new flash cart throws that code into their firmware? If so, this entire DSI situation is going to get really boring, really quickly.

 

[NostalgicMillennial]

i bet acekard and Cyclo team are saying its "experimental" because they dont want to raddle the monkeys banana horde cage. namely nintendos soon to be profits on the DSi Games. once they find a way that nintendo cant stop it with a firmware update or something..or once it comes here...you will see "progress"...congrats to acekard and cyclo for talking to users as they did...smart choice..

i HAVE A R4.

It will be boring once all flashcarts work/ SD hack.

 

[Narin]

Folks, the question isn't when the DSi will be hacked but if. If you didn't read carefully, the AceKard and CycloDS teams are debating if a feasible flashcard can even be made for the DSi and if it would be even worthwhile to pursue it.

 

[Hedgehogofchaos]

im betting a cfw is about our only chance at getting flashcards to work permanently

 

[Raika]

Well another option would be not to get the DSi at all, since we have alternatives for its features.

 

[gk.7]

you would be better of with just a DSLite...

Most def... like i've been saying... if i want the ds to get to the us as soon as posible really bad it's only because i want de lite to go down on price

 

[PanzerWF]

Seeing as how hard it seems to be to crack the DSi, even if someone managed to produce a flash cart, the prices would be ridiculous.

One, there would be no competition or very little so the company can price it as they wish.
Two, it's new and all companies love to profit.

So I'm going to try and turn a blind eye towards the DSi until many companies have got this down.

I cant wait for some dsi camera homebrew

i dont know of any alternatives for the camera

You could buy a separate camera...

and have a ds lite

KOOOL

maybe r4 is next



jk

 

[jonesman99]

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.
