GBAtemp.net EXCLUSIVE: DS-Xtreme *Update*

[Darth_Small]

So no news of a plastic thingy to cover up the usb-connection? Shallow as it may be, that is a deal-break for me. I don't want my DS lite exposing its innards like a cheap tart!

Lots of things have exposed USB ports.. It hurts nothing. Sounds like it's just a superficial problem.

Prize has been confirmed with 99€ / 125$

Release is within 6 weeks

Source is the Efnet Channel DS-X

 

[diamdim]

And to think i bought G6 lite last week. Damn!!!

 

[preelude]

$125? + wait until October? no thanks.

g6lite can be had for $80 + $20 passcard3 = $100 plus it can play GBA.

or supercard lite $50 + 512mb microsd $25 + superkey $20 = $95

" * 100% homebrew compatible."

???

Compatible my ass, they better explain how they do this soon, as I don't believe one word of that statement - even call it a blatant lie until they prove otherwise. All homebrew until now was specifically programmed for reading from the GBA Slot, each card (M3, SC/SCL, GBAMP) needs its own specific drivers. So unless they have a generic patcher for fatlib to "reroute" GBA Access to the NDS Slot and their card this is impossible.

Maybe they'll release a driver that can be added to fatlib, but existing homebrew must still be recompiled to access this card.

 

[Da-Huntha]

Hmm, for those who want to play with the Rumble pack or other GBA slot perhipicals this could be a nice solution... assuming it can access the GBA slot.

yeah that claim has me baffled...

unless they plan to ship out cards to homebrew devs and have them all update in the 6 weeks before the card is out...

Divineo wants to rip us off, they want 125$ for the DS-X

http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/dd-ds-dsxt4

modshipstore lists the ds-x for 50€ !!! This is the real deal

http://www.modchip-store.co.uk/Ds-Xtreme-p-255.html

Shame on you Divineo !

Long live the modship-store


Holy shit! Thats like another DS lite right there. Converting modship-stores pounds to USD ammounts to almost half Divineo's price. Highway robbery.

The price on modchip-store is now £67.99 (=US$128.86). The phrase "way too fucking expensive" comes to mind. I'm going to wait and see how this DS-Link works out.

 

[superbo3]

i think its a very good and cheap price , a m3 with a passkey and a sd card and a sd reader/writer is alot more expensive then this....

 

[midigear]

umm... according to which site?

you can get passcard3 for as low as $19 USD
(Yet they are going to lower that price soon, with new ver. 4 PCB, wait and see

)
G6L for $79 USD (Which is already jacked up 15-20 bucks for English users)

M3 perfect Mini $63.90

SD writer cost 5 bucks... but if you already got your SC or stuff,
you don't need to buy one anyways..

 

[superbo3]

well since i live in europe my choice of shops are alittle more limited

i was checking shop.01media.com

m3 + passkey 2 bundle = 99€
then i would need a sd card and a reader/writer

reader/writer ive found the cheapst in shops = 27€
then the sd card a 512 mb one is 40€

in total thats 166€ (211$usd)

 

[midigear]

in total thats 166€ (211$usd)

Holy molly!

Guess you guys must be leading a fancy life out there,
so expensive for everything.

I wonder if people are willing to pay the price of a DS Lite for a flash card,
I hope they will. (DS Lite here, USD$129.00)

 

[Prema]

Hey Midigear

what do you think of the announcement of the G6DS on yyjoy? Is it real?
They want to have that one out in October and their support is great!

 

[midigear]

Some said it was just a business strategy to stop people's hype from DS-X and DSLINK,
which means - fake news, released to disturb others. (They been playing this way since day one)

Some said It was a leak out info from GBAalpha
(Confirmed by YY. Though if the news was a fake, YY’s credibility will be questioned)

Personally, I want to see the real thing before any Blah-blah.

Show me the PCB,

show me the official blue-print+prototype, at least show me the case of the card.

Otherwise, October release of G6DS, sounds nothing but a rumor.

 

[Eruonen]

Can't waitfor the review!

 

[Darth_Small]

Could you guys link me to the G6DS news? I don't see it on the yyjoy.com front page, but I don't read japanese on the other hand. Is it just an announcment without pics?

 

[ssj4android]

shaunj66 do you have a beta unit,have you tired it or is that the info that the developrs give you?

I don't have a beta unit unfortunately...

A person involved with the project has confirmed it.

They have to be bullshitting, there's no way it could have 100% homebrew compatibility out of the box. I don't trust them on the rest of their claims, either.

 

[Sobtanian]

and I too just received my g6 lite a few days ago, after preordering it 3 weeks ago

 

[lars]

Haha, complaining about the price?

I will buy 100+ units (all of them) and will sell them double the price, or, 200 $ hehehehhe

Smartass me
