Hacking New GUI

[Link5084]

Remember when TC promised us that they will deliver us a new GUI for the CycloDS? When do you think that is going to come and what will be some surprises in it?

 

[ENDscape]

Wow this thread is misleading...
Anyways, i havent heard any news of when they are releasing it.Hopefully they do it this year.

God damn misleading thread. I don't know what to expect. Maybe boxart support, and 'favorite' icons on the home screen or something.

Make sure when posting threads like this that you put a question mark after it. That way people know you're asking about the new GUI and not saying that the new GUI is here

.

Goddamn this thread! Next time, label it properly! *pissed off*

PS; I don't think they "promised" it. They just said they were taking suggestions.

 

[tinymonkeyt]

UGH. tricked me too
stop with the misleading titles!
some us are really excited and will assume things when we see "New GUI" as a title..

stop breaking our hearts ;_;

Oops, sorry guys.

i was also mislead by the title.

I really wish they hadn't promised it. And I really wish Blizzard hasn't announced Starcraft 2 so early.

I hate it when companies pretty much have to lie to generate hype.

So in conclusion, just forget the whole "GUI incident" ever happened. And if Team Cyclops ever does release a GUI overhaul, it'll be a nice surprise for us.

Damn I was about to pop in my MicroSD reader to download the new GUI.

But yeah on topic, hope they put in some eye candy in the new one.

 

[Isaiah]

I wasn't mislead.... but no one cares. I wish they put like a nice sliding menu in it.

 

[strata8]

Why do you need a GUI overhaul, anyway? Is having the best cart is no longer good enough?

EDIT: Wait... does this have anything to do with Sakura? I sincerely hope not...

 

[Styles420]

Sliding menu sounds like a direct reference to Sakura... which just might be the smoothest OS on any flashcard judging by everything I've read. If the CycloDS got a GUI that good, I'd probably find a way to afford it (and a new GBA expansion, of course - I doubt the Cyclo can use the M3 Expansion).

 

[Chrono_Tata]

Just a decent scrollbar, man, that's all I ask for. Just a decent scrollbar.

 

[XRacer101]

Yes, I would really like it if Team Cyclops made the new GUI. I bet they aren't going to do it in a while.

I recently opened a topic at the Team Cyclops forum about this subject, you may want to check it out: http://www.teamcyclops.com/forum/showthrea...91113#post91113

I recently opened a topic at the Team Cyclops forum about this subject
...and I recently posted a reply in that thread:

impizkitMy question is: What about those of us who could give 2 shints and a funk about the DSi or the new GUI?

I agree (though your vernacular isn't one I'd readily adopt

.) While a new GUI might be visually interesting I don't see it as a necessity nor have I ever found the current GUI lacking (nor did I find the R4's lacking when I was using my first card.) Why all the fuss with needing a new GUI for the Cyclo? Let TC make us a card that works and works well with updates when we need them. That's a necessity, not so much a new GUI.

 

[Chrono_Tata]

I don't see why some people who don't want a new GUI would have to be so against people asking for a new GUI. Whether they are developing a new GUI or not, the chances are that TC will still be releasing the necessary bug fixes and new game support. So you have your needs satisfied.

The thing is, a lot of us forked out the extra cash for a Cyclo over, say, a Real or an Acekard, knowing we are getting a better cart. While the Cyclo is of course still better in term of features than these, we actually see a lacking GUI compared to other carts (even the Real has a better GUI than the Cyclo now which is saying something). A new GUI is a luxury, not a necessity, but then the CycloDS is a luxury product. If I wanted a necessity in terms of playing DS games I could have spent over 10 quid less.
