Hardware Fake CycloDS Evolution Cards are Sold on AliExpress

[SylverReZ]

Similar to the DSTWO Wood carts that were re-branded Ace3DS+/R4iLS cards, "Woodbeyond Team Store" is a new AliExpress vendor offering flashcarts that are purporting to be CycloDS Evolution; Wood Beyond are notable for creating a variety of colorful flashcarts in a fancy aesthetic box. And I hate to break it to you, but they are indeed not the original CycloDS, but are clones of the R4iLS with a legitimate looking label and white shell to pass it off as one of Team Cyclone's work.

If you're considering picking one up, I strongly discourage doing so. They are much more expensive compared to what you can get an R4iLS clone for, and it's not even that good of a deal. If you're looking for the original CycloDS, then find one on eBay or resort to its clones like the EDGE-be aware that the original CycloDS does not work with the DSi or 3DS models unless you install Custom Firmware, requiring extra steps throughout the process to use it.

Export only? I don't think I've seen these Fake flashcarts in the Chinese market.
It might be a rebranded "R4 Wood" flashcart..

It might be a rebranded "R4 Wood" flashcart, displaying SpongeBob icon..

It's based on the R4iLS, and like the DSTWO WOOD cart, it shows the "Deep Labyrinth" icon; this goes for all R4iLS carts currently being made to this day. The "Atlantis SquarePantis" icon only comes on the Ace3DS+ clones which are no longer being produced.

Re-packaged leftover old stock with new labels applied that nobody wants. And once they're gone, it's gone.

Funnily enough, they seem to have blocked US customers from purchasing - probably to prevent negative reviews / returns from very unhappy customers.

If anyone actually wants to buy one !at a cheaper price!) for collecting purposes or whatever, you can get them from here - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810333744679.html - which is a choice item, meaning you'll get it a lot quicker than an independent seller probably using the cheapest method of shipping.

This item listing too. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809707584609.html
