New Edge(CycloDS clone?) card at DX for $28

[lenselijer]

I hope they can ship my package with dhl before new year in china.

Looks like a decent clone of the cyclods, and for a very good price

Meh, I like my Evo better.

It ain't a clone, its a look-alike. If you look at the firmware you can see that it doesn't flash it to the 1mb flash instead it runs of the usd card, also it doesn't have the main features that people buy the cyclods evo for like enhanced menu, realtime save, slowdown, passme without usd and autoboot last nds game.

That's next week...

Of course you do, because you actually HAVE a cycloDS, as opposed to this new flash cart that you've never touched.

I've made some conclusions judging form pictures.

- PCB is not the same
- Shell is very similar but not the same (indent are sharp where the CycloDS is curved (the bite marks on the side))
- Packaging is not the same (It's soo much cooler!!)

umm.. thats bout it lol.

Some one else gotta check firmware

and if anyone actually has one right now maybe comparison

As I already said... BUY IT ASAP!

It is pretty simple: they did a lower-cost CyloDS:
- firmware is stored on MicroSD, so no enhanced menu (I care more about the $40 difference: CycloDS sells for $70 -not shipped-

)
- same outstanding build quality (nice fitting case) and chippery (actel)
- same outstanding game and homebrew compatibility (ex. press SELECT to disable auto-DLDI patching)
- best-of-class power consumption (same as R4, 10% better than DSTT)

$28 shipped from DealExtreme: I already paid mine.

I agree with you the CycloDS is double nearly triple any other flashcards that are available.
But if you care about saving money and getting a quality card. R4, M3 DS Real would do just fine

I know cuz I own both and I'm getting a DSTT in too

I ordered this cuz price was good and I'm assuming compatibility and performance would be good too.
You also have to admit the packaging is kick ass!

Well, I know there was a member here who had a review sample back in early December, but wanted to keep it hush-hush at the time.

If he hops online I'll see if he wants to post his thoughts on the device.

For $5 more, I would have got a SuperCard DS one

Who knows that they will update the firmware in the future.

Only gripe I have with supercard DS one is the battery sav option (last I remember, unless they changed it). I'd rather save directly to MicroSD.

No gripe then, they changed it a lot back. Now it saves directly to MicroSD.

You can save direct to the microsd with new firmware

Ahtin, any chance you can give us a quick rundown?  Does it work as well as the CycloDS Evolution?  Does is have things like Real Time Save, etc?

I know someone will release the rom this week, you can compare with CycloDS later

no RTS, but
cheat code supported
poor softreset (some games cant use it)
download play (perfect which I have tested)
bad look interface (my point of view, similar as R4 and CycloDS)
good design for the box
same usb reader as R4's one

** Support communication with Wii **

Out of curiosity, will the lack of 2mb flash prevents it for getting those good features of CycloDS? I mean, if that's true then it hardly stands out...

 

[Normmatt]

Actually without the need for the 2mb flash they have more room for features than the cyclods evo but weather they will make use of it no one knows.

 

[OSW]

so... what advantage does cyclods have by storing the firmware on an internal chip?

i wonder if the 1mbit edge boot loader is rewritable? if indeed it needed to be modified to read the cyclods firmware or something.

or maybe it will be as simple as loading a dump of the cyclods's firmware (.nds) with the edge cart, or working out the dat encryption and encrypting the the cyclods dump.

 

[nds lite fan]

Are you able to use msn on the edge card?

Are you able to use msn on the edge card?

If BEup works,yes. Which it should since Beup is DLDI and Edge has a DLDI patch.

Ok that logic sounds right, so how would u load msn on(on the microSD card?), and with the edge card, how would u execute msn?
