Hacking Still no firmware update

[dib]

Does anybody here even think there _will_ be a new update at this point, or will they just take their profits and duck out on everybody? Does it even matter any more considering any update now is so far removed from being even remotely timely? And if and when there is an update, will it even be enough to justify all these months of waiting and the same old 'we just don't feel like telling anybody what's going on' attitude?

They have been talking about having a new firmware for months.. I doubt it will ever come. Even if it does come out it will probably break a lot of stuff. I don't really care about an update since I don't have any problems. The Arm fix solved the problems for all the games I care about.

I don't think anyone should rely on team DS-X for anything, let alone a firmware update!

I wrote this a week or two ago in another thread, might as well post it here....

This whole ds-x issue is getting so old. I'm still running firmware 1.0.2 or whatever it is. It's complete bullshit that I need to get zelda, put it on a flash drive, go to my moms computer(im on a mac), take the game apart, replace some files, put it back together, finally onto ds-x.

We all know why these carts exist. For anyone here to say they ONLY bought it for homebrew is lying. I'm sure there are a few people here, but most of us bought our carts for one reason. The DS-X crew obviously made these carts compatible with roms, there is no denying it. They can all they want. They're a USA or Canadian company, so I understand they gotta protect their asses. But they can't play us for fools and try to backpedal now that we have them in our hands, saying they're not made for roms. I think they're all playing us for fools. How long can they post on their forums that their working hard on this and the reason they can't post on the forums is because their hard at work.

Would people rather have the developers and programmers here[ds-x forums] or working on issue?
If you give a room full of monkeys a computer and a ds-x they could have gotten the firmware updated by now. Seriously, it's hard for me to believe they're still working on one update. And from what I've read elsewhere on the forums, the next firmware will only address bugs, nothing new for us, just bug fixes. And for anyone who went through the last firmware, I remember that firmware causing more bugs.

Really, in all honesty, I rarely even play my dslite anymore. I have a wii now, it's been summer, so I'm outside on the lake or at the skatepark, keeping busy. But the rain is back and I'll be getting my fingers busy on the controllers. I wish this wasn't a big deal. I'd try and make 25% of my money back and get a real cart, with real updates, from real people. Not this charade I'm playing along with. It's gonna be great when we hit the one year mark and the same jokesters on the forums are telling us there is no time line and to be patient and that a firmware update is just around the corner for all your homebrew needs.

And all you ds-x fanboys, please come over from the forums and flame me for all the flaming I just did. I think anyone who spend $125 on the product has a right to vent like this. I used to be somewhat of a fanboy myself. Don't believe me? Here is a blog I started, with tuts and other goodies. Quickly lost interest on that. ds-x is love blog. But really, I have an iphone too and just like everyone who has that, waiting for these damn updates and people get heated. Seems like every update is just something new for apple to make money off of us. Ringtones, thanks apple, oh, $2 each, yeah right. Wifi store, thanks apple, we can buy songs from you while we're away from our computer.

Yeah, end rant I think. Just needed to get it off my chest. I have no job right now and lots of time on my hands. I know nothing I say here is going to have any effect on this so called ds-x programming team. You know, maybe after the ds-x had us all fooled and we made them a few thousand, they were bought out by monkeys and now they're actually in a room with a ds-x trying to program and they're just waiting for the nicest of nice bananas and for every thread/post like this one I'm about to post, sets them back another week. So the way I see it, we're in for one hell of a ride.

have a good weekend my friends...

Exactly the reason why my brother ran over his DS-X.

Meh, IMO the DS-X is a great cart. It just has a... lousy team.

(Puts up flame shield for DS-X Fanboys rooting for the DSX Team)

 

[Nubia]

^^Lol.

But i don't think the DS-Xtreme Team exists anymore. Maybe they quit...

I've converted to R4ism a long time ago.

 

[flai]

I think they still exist they are just lazy fuckers who don't give a shit about their customers.

Well, for the moment, i'm always a DS-Xtremist...

 

[Nero]

The DS-X Team is evil....

I hope you guys get your Firmware update soon... As well as for the R4.

 

[h8uthemost]

I really hope you guys get your firmware update soon too. That's bullshit how the DSX Team treats their customers.

 

[amemoryoncelost]

I would have went R4 long ago, but would like to sell my ds-x and use that money to buy an R4. We'll see how bad the winter is, if Im indoor soto much, an R4 it will be.

The best part is now a bunch of people have preorders for them and ds-x is saying there is a shortage of memory. Which I guess could be possible, but it doesn't seem to be stopped any other cart from cranking out carts. Seems fishy that all of a sudden there is no FW updates and there is no actual carts being made anymore.

Such a joke. Sucks I fell for it...

i just read ds-x.com today and realized it is a big bunch of lies

Optimal compatibility for homebrew, audio, video and other media files
i agree that it has a good homebrew compatibility, but optimal compatibility for audio? you cant even rewind, and for playing other media you have to download moonshell or other homebrew, so the card itself as it is is not very compatible with other media since it cant play them

High speed internal memory provides fastest possible file access times, NO slow-downs
eh, i dont think there is a card on the market that would take longer to save EEPROM and search the files

owners of the DS-Xtreme 2GB can rest assured that the product will remain future proof and be privy to even more superb functionality in due course

:scry:

QUOTE

the DS-Xtreme hands-down offers the best value for money ratio on the market, its massive 2GB of storage space is 18 TIMES larger than that offered by wishful competitors

oh dear, even the time it was released this was not true...

Well, yeah, but it seems like every flash cart team makes up a whole lot. How many carts were supposed to have 100% Download Play compatibly when they didn't? And wasn't my M3 supposed to play SNES games?

They all lie about their products. But who cares, as long as they do what you want them to do?

 

[chuckstudios]

And wasn't my M3 supposed to play SNES games?

It did. You just had to click Write GBA and load a SNES ROM.

 

[Nubia]

HUMILIATION !!

 

[HBK]

Why is this board still active?

 

[ilovengage]

Because the DS-X is still a usable flash card ... with many problems
