DSi + CycloDS

[johnchan]

Just noticed this has been recently posted on the cyclods website:

Team Cyclops are pleased to announce that for some time we have had a working test setup which is capable of running CycloDS Evolution on the Nintendo DSi. We must stress however that this is part of our research only; there is still a great deal of work to be done before we can even decide if a DSi compatible device is viable or not. The DSi features a completely redesigned security system which renders all current devices incompatible and at this stage it is unknown if there is any reliable way to overcome the new measures. We will continue our research into the DSi and in the mean time, please see the following video which demonstrates what we have achieved so far.

Woah,first the Acekard now this!

I really hope the Supercard people can get the SC DS one sorted for the DSi.

Cool News........

Now I think I'm gonna buy DSi

 

[Agjsdfd]

Same report as Acekard team...just better rephrased english

 

[JPdensetsu]

Thanks for the news, I think I'll buy a Cyclo DS.

 

[Lumstar]

Yeah. Existing flash cards seem to have a minor difference from real DS cards, that Nintendo was able to detect.

 

[raulpica]

They've probably used the same method as Team AK.

People, nothing to scream "OMG TEAM CYCLOPS P0WnEd EverYthing!!1! CyCloDS is Teh beSt and p0wnz all other FlashCardZ!"

It's either a hardmod or one of those belated savegame exploits.

The former is probably difficult to do, and the latter is probably easily fixable by Nintendo.

It's gonna take a bit to see a reliable method of running unsigned code on DSi...

Yeah.
Before you dont see a team who boots the DSi and the FlashCard is detected as a normal game there is nothing to hype

I'm not on my computer now so can someone tell what the video was? Thanks.

The same as Acekart did, he/she let show that it works

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.

Superb news!!! I still wouldn't buy one though.

Good point. Seeing that, the savegame exploit is the most probable thing they've done.

Something like a "slot-1booter.nds", and et voilà, your Slot-1 card works. The thing is that they haven't been able to show it since the entire card swapping thing is pretty non-awesome.

That's great that Team Cyclops has managed to get it to work (and I'm sure more flashcarts will follow suit), but that doesn't change the fact that the DSi is crap.

Exact same thing that I was going to say.

 

[ackers]

i'd rather they focused on the ds lite/phat...

 

[DarkLG]

Ya that's probably why they don't show them launching the flashcart because they don't want to show how they do it.

 

[Link5084]

Now the thing is, do we need to buy new CycloDS's for the DSi?

 

[ackers]

i would imagine so.

 

[DarkLG]

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