G6DS Real in-hand at GBAtemp!

[felix123]

Does PAlib homebrew work? Especially the touch screen.
Does the auto softreset option work for homebrew?

 

[juggernaut911]

Hmm ok...

DONT U DARE TALK THAT WAY TO THE GREAT G6!!!!!!!!!!

still wandering:
a) why g6flash SATILL isnt updated and
b) the dumper question

 

[bigboy85zz]

Wow! This looks jaw-some

, I think I'm going to cry...

jaw-some? someones been watching street sharks reruns

 

[ahtin]

the cheat files is different with R4/M3DSS

dont unplug G6DS REAL or G6Lite without clicking "remove" on the windows or it may cause data lost

DLDI will be supported but not now

The card reader cant dump rom or dump save althought I have ask for it for thousand time

disable soft reset is easy and presss nthing b4 start mean diable cheat function as I guess

still no price today but I have to say the first ship is English version but not chinese as I know.

The card holder is same as R4/M3DSS and the the wrist strap is for the card holder

 

[RingKing97]

i have an srl file can you attempt it?

 

[juggernaut911]

I remember Street Shark!!!! I would watch it before we would go to church!!! the good old days...

 

[SPiko]

Street Sharks lol

 

[frostyllama]

i'd like to hear more about this different cheat function and gui, and how and why it's different.

 

[Gods69]

Some photos of G6DS card circuit ? (using Actel FPGA chip ?)
Thanks.

Okay looks like it let me down on Download Play :S

I'm also scared of bricking now after hearing all this stuff about NAND.

Might stick to my R4

So much for the 2 months of waiting

 

[H8TR]

So it seems this just a NAND flash version of R4 and M3DSS. It like iPod Nano to iPod Mini (excluding the larger size, color screens etc.). Flash memory to HDD. Faster speed speed no slowdowns. It's really personal preference. Would you like to pay $70-80 for R4 and 2GB Micro SD or $80-90 for this?

So NAND is cheap, but reliable, and still faster than microSD?

 

[OSW]

well, this has a totally different loader to r4 with extra features, that is a major difference. Plus what you said about memory seems a bit unclear and inaccurate.

And I'd be surprised if it was less than 90$, i'm expecting it to be more.

It has extra features? If it did - it's not much of an improvement. From what I have read, it seems like it has a very buggy OS, download play has been hardly touched. The media function probably isn't any greater than Moonshell either. Cheat is now supported by R4, and since R4 has a huge customer base, I'm expecting updates to come out more frequently for the R4 (making it better, I guess

)

Still, waiting for the review. Hopefully this version of the loader is still in development stages.

Question: Is NAND memory easy to brick/damage?

 

[thegame07]

Well 4saken thats the downside about nand memory if you brick it or damage it your flash card is fu**ed. However with removable memory all you need to do is get another micro sd.

I dont know about if its easy to brick it or damage it. I think it just easier to have removable storage if you get a brick or damage.

That's my main concern with internal, immovable memory. For some reason, having a hard drive in my ipod doesn't bother me at all >_>. Maybe because NAND memory is cheap to begin with

 

[cory1492]

If they implemented the NAND properly as a disk, when it gets "damaged" the block would be marked as bad and never again be used, subtracting from the total available blocks on the card. Just like on a PC, when you get a bad sector, it marks it as bad and doesn't use it again.

Of course, there is no telling if they set it up this way (until someone gets a bad block on one), or if they set it up like a GBA flash cart which relies on consecutive blocks being available and good.

Either which way, I for one still prefer my fist full of $10 1G kingston cards over a single size, single purpose all in 1 type thing. It only takes one flash cart with bad areas to completely sour a person on single purpose memory especially when SD adapters are so cheaply available, and such decent quality now.

What i find a big plus on removable memory is that you can use it for multiple purposes.. such as digital camera, mobile phone sow it's not really fair to say wel you par 30 for a 2gb micro sd against 15 for nand memory.. the nand memory is pure only usable for the flashcard but the microsd is multifunctional... so it both has it's down and up sides..

True, but if you use your memory card for your flashcard, why would you end up using it for something else (wiping out games, etc, formatting). Unless, of course, you upgrade the card and pass it onto another device

good point.

i might also add, it's hard to find cheap/good microsd cards here locally (melbourne, i don't know id u live here to 4saken), the only option is to buy them online, which i could not previously do as i did not have a bank account, BUT now i do yay! so that point kind-of doesn't matter anymore hohoho.
