Exclusive Acekard R.P.G. Media Blowout! *UPDATE*

[mugenk]

do you think it can support hot plug of the micro SD? it would be nice to copy/past rom when you make a DS party and no laptop around to exchange rom file.

woot, sinkhead has just informed me that a sample for me will be shipped out in a couple of days...I'll get mine later than GBAtemp but oh well, I'm still getting one O: O: O:

Not sure what hot plug means but you don't need a PC at all if you have the files on the cart or microSD.

 

[HBK]

Nice, but I don't expect it to have SDHC support, in which the Cyclo DS might gain the upper hand in the future. Boot times are quite important, so I expect it to load like the R4.

Let's wait for the GBATemp review. xD

 

[Seraph]

It does have SDHC support...or atleast claims to...or are you saying it won't have it anyway?

but right now, without this future acekard, you still need a pc to handle files. it's great to have nand memory so you can handle files. but if you're outside and play some game that people don't have, you can't send them files without a computer. and if you can hot plug microSD while inside the OS, i just think it would be really great

You mean transferring ROMs wireless from card to card? That's just an incredibly stupid feature to request.

Well...that's what I meant... For this card, you don't need a PC to transfer things to microSD...

yes, but i think you will still need to turn off the DS, put the other micro SD and turn on. that's why i talk about hot plug without turn off the DS, change the micro SD on the fly.

what are you talking about? o_o nobody talk about wireless. it's about exchange rom via the Acekard RPG

 

[roboz]

Why can't you just tell the person to get it from a website. Or you can just tranfer it on the Nand memory then put the persons micro sd card on then transfer it back to the micro sd.

Doesn't seem all that interesting, will wait for the review myself.

if you're outside and ready to play, then the other people don't have the rom, you can do it with the acekard rpg

damn just when I thought there wasn't anything else the cyclo was missing(like download play) these bad boys come out with a whole list

1. mini usb
2. built-in nand memory AND EXPANDABILITY
3. FREAKIN OPEN-SOURCE!!!!!

So here's the plan: wait for an awesome review, wait and make sure that the first one's aren't all defective ::couch::cyclo::cough::, buy a new ds with a new buy.com credit card (save $30), buy this bad boy, order a jap 2gb card off dz-tech, then

give my old ds lite(anniversery), old cyclo(christmas), and sandisk 2gb card (birthday) to my girl.

so in actuality i'm buying myself presents!!!

 

[hollabackitsobi]

This thing needs soft reset...

 

[quartercast]

I thought they said u can copy a rom file to the NAND and then to the MicroSD, so you can transfer from MicroSD to MicroSD

Hmm, so if someone had a rom you wanted, they could just lend you their microSD and then you could transfer it onto your NAND and decide what to do with it from there. Not a bad idea! But I think the transfer function is mainly for transferring the odd pesky rom or movie to NAND which you otherwise couldn't get to work on microSD.

any word on release date??

Hm. Might have been mentioned before, but bamboogaming.com is offering pre-orders at a hefty 85 AUD (roughly 70 USD, or a bit less?).

I'll be waiting for a review first.. though it is tempting. Stock is arriving on the 15th apparently.

 

[cory1492]

Man, that looks really slick. I can't wait to see how they incorporate their hardware features; it'd be a total waste if the USB was used ONLY for file transfer, and the NAND was unable to be used as a RAM extension.


i didn't even think of the internal memory being used as ram but that is a good idea and if it does work then that's another + for this cart. nice interface from looks of it. o and wouldn't it suck if u had to copy games from the micro sd card to the NAND flash just to play them, lol just a thought

NAND != RAM... it can be used like RAM, but I doubt it'd write any faster than an SD card on an R4 or similar, so don't go expecting big leaps in the DS's internal memory beyond anything other than using a swapfile on a MM card (which if I don't miss my guess not many types of homebrew would use anyway).

 

[hollabackitsobi]

Who will be selling these things? With a new cart coming out, no major distributors are putting announcements up or anything. Not RealHotStuff or anyone...

 

[Zombie_X]

That GUI looks like something all flashcarts should have. I'm tired of these bad quality or bare GUI set-ups. Also if this card can do what the CycloDS EVO does it may be worth the money. Download play doesn't matter to me as long as the games play 100% and saving is automatic. I will buy this to review if AceKard won't send me a sample.
