Built in or expandable memory? MicroSD, I guess?
GBA compatibility? Not interested.
Special features? Cheat codes are a plus, Wifi capability is good, fast menus and loading are gravy.
Any flashcarts you are looking at in particular Just thinking about upgrading to CycloDS
ok well lets seeShadowStitch said:This may sound kinda dumb, but... I have a perfectly functional and delightful little DSTT, but I'm thinking about upgrading to a CycloDS.
Everyone seems to recommend it, (provided one has the money,) over the DSTT. The only thing I don't like about the DSTT is the speed of the menus -- everything else has been great; the compatibility, SDHC support, cheat code support, customizable backgrounds... I can't really complain about the DSTT at all...
Yet I'm curious, and fishing for opinions: Can anyone give me an idea of what I'll be gaining by switching up? I just want to know what significant advantages there are, if any, over what I have now...
Thanks, Tempers!

You should consider a 3 in 1 - CycloDS Evolution Combi. It's a little bit above your price range but it's the best you can get at the moment. The Cyclo has Real time save (save state) and native 3 in 1 support, so all your needs would be fullfilled.

With the Supercard 3 in 1 support would be possible through Rudolphs GBA Explorer (a homebrew tool). It supports a few other Slot-2 Expansions, but I don't know which.
@nightshade_zero
CycloDS by far. It has far more features. But you can't expect from people to list them all. Just go to their websites and compare.
QUOTE(cubanresourceful @ Jul 10 2008, 06:56 PM) Okay, so then let me just make it sure. Now, the main differences between CycloDS Evolution and Supercard DS One that justify the price difference is what? And, what would also be the difference between say, pairing a Supercard DS One and a M3 Perfect SD to a CycloDS Evolution and an EZ 3 in 1? And lastly, the CycloDS combo with the EZ 3 in 1 allows to boot GBA games on the same MicroSD card that is in the CycloDS? If so, that would be the seller for me? And lastly, would it be better to stick with the brand Cyclo, and get a Cyclo GBA microSD adapter, or stick with the EZ 3 in 1?
I know, a lot of questions, but I like being thorough, you know? I hate wasting money on a product that will fail what I want it for. So far, the M3 has lived up to the moneys it has cost me, now I need a Slot 1 to perform to that too.Thanks again for the help.
Slowking said:You mean the cyclos Slot-2 card? Well it's not horrible, it's a Supercard Slot-2 Clone. But for GBA games there are better things, like the 3 in 1 and you will probably get it cheaper and the Cyclo has full support for it.
What also speaks for the Cyclo Evo is that it has a faster menue/game loading as the Supercard DS One and is afaik not as picky with MicroSD cards.
