I usually do not respond to any threads on gbatemp, even more rarely do I visit the website, however this thread is quite unfair.
Thegame07 is not part of the core DS-X Team, he is a customer whom became a personal friend of mine. He is a kind soul helping not only "DS-X" out, but moreso their/our customers. He does not do it for any benefits, other than helping others. To go out and about calling him a part of a problem is way beyond reality - Seriously, why would you attack someone who is actually ONLY doing good?

If your not part of the solution, your part of the problem.
I have NEVER heard your name, NEVER seen an e-mail from you to DS-X asking for anything (may that be support or a firmware update). All you may have done was sit in front of your computer, whining like a little 10 year old who is upset that he has bought a product he is not happy with. Calling thegame07 "part of the problem" is hypocritical, as he has done far more than you for the good of DS-X Owners.
How low does one have to come to bash the only person who was helping everyone out, forwarding community questions to the DS-X team and doing his very best to help customers? Seriously, it can't get any lower than this.
You know, we live in a techy world, you have internet access and all information available on it. Every bit of information regarding the DS-Xtreme was known after the product launched, our updates coming out slowly is something we are even renown for. The only excuse for saying "Well I couldn't know all that! I bought it just at launch!"
Well here's the deal with buying the latest piece of hardware/software:
You could have bought an Nvidia 7950GX2 a year ago, you have the clock speeds of an 8800GT , twice the memory, yet your card will struggle getting half the framerate in UT3 compared to an 8800GTS. Sure, back when it came out it ran the most hardware intensive games at almost impossible framerates compared to other cards, but now in the new day and age, it doesn't.
DS-X, including myself are not bad people who wanted to screw everyone over. We've had numerous times "bad luck" which cost us dearly in development time as well as enhancing the Firmware. To be honest, I don't even want to go into details here, most information is openly available, but if we could give you a new firmware every week, we would.
I just can't see how you can attack the person who did the least wrong for everything that went wrong at DS-X.
If you so wish to be "part of the solution", why not go and create your own Flashcart, tell us how easy it is, and shove your thousands of dollars you make from them under my or anyone at DS-X's nose including your customers "happy happy" feedback? I mean seriously, for someone seemingly knowing all you do - go ahead and do it.
With that said, I hope you leave the people that actually do good in peace, thegame07 surely does not deserve this treatment.
