Hacking report card for the Supercard DSTWO

[Krestent]

Would you buy a new car that was in the same condition if they said that will fix all the problems in the future NO
It would have to be perfect from the start

We are talking about software here, not physical goods.
Many times people buy software that is incomplete/has bugs. Windows Vista for instance.
Also, there are many retail games sold that are buggy as hell. Fable 2 for instance (though I still loved the game.)

not the best example. Vista was flamed to death. They had to make 7 to restore faith.

But that's just cos Vista really was bad.

TBH, Vista was only released because Microsoft didn't want to further delay. If M$ delayed their OS, then you would essentially get what is now Windows 7.

Exactly; the current form of the SCDS2 OS is similar to Windows Vista, except that the "Windows 7" update will be free.

Well, not exactly. I don't have the card yet but from what I've read I make out that the OS now is more like a release candidate (which it technically is, too) and the update to the final version is free.

@OP:
You keep emphasizing GBA Emulator and SNES emulator. Are you saying that because these features are lacking, this cart is bad and deserves an F? That would mean to you, all carts out there deserve an F.
Acekard2/2i = F
CycloDS = F
R4 = F(obviously)
and so on.
you should think about what you're saying. Personally I give it an A. Looks good, does its job, RTS/RTC are fun as always, but no A+ because it gets stuck in my DSL, but iz alright.

Yes the card was released without a few features, do you think its cheap and easy to go design and manufacture a new piece of hardware? They have the hardware locked so may as well get units in the hands of gamers, everything else can be fixed at a later date. I am sure the sale of the cards will bring in some much needed funds for them to go and make good on their back of box content.

These boys are in it for the long term and it will eventually hurt sales if they cannot come good on what has been promised.

Good things come to those that wait

The cat boy is shocked this thread is still open?
This guy is clearly a dope since he thought that the Supercard Two was going to be a shinny God first week of release, so really this is just a pointless thread.

Well, @RedBaron Id be glad to take the card off your hands, if youre willing. So far the gba emulator is impressive in my book,

i heard the iplayer emu wasnt as good as this one

the snes emulator would be extra in my book

and the PSP already had most of the video features that the SCDS2 didnt have at launch
