Better, faster and sleeker gui thanks to the additional CPU.
All the video support of the iPlayer out of the box.
Faster RTS and probably better RTG.
Finally the Long Name support.
And on top of that, built-in GBA and SNES emulators?

If it will keep up to everything they've promised... It's the BEST. CARD. EVER.

I'm SO buying it. I'm more than satisfied with my DSOne, but this one just seems too awesome to not upgrade.

And do not worry about the support. Team SC is second to no-one in that, along with the EZ-Team. They're the longest active teams out there, still supporting even older models like the SD ones.
 
Awesome, I hope they dont make is DSi only and I sure hope they dont hike up the price to something nuts. If its a good $30 I would definitely buy it
 
One other thing i'm curious about is the DS battery life. I'm not familiar with iPlayer, but wouldn't a super powerful CPU like this drain battery life faster than normal?

Then again, maybe the extra power would only be used as needed. All games need is the DS hardware, while GBA and SNES would make use of the extra hardware.
 
wow - and i just ordered a damn m3i zero
i wonder if the other teams will jump on the bandwagon
i hope not - my new card in the mail will be obsolete
 
no need to add the 'i' as it's the first one of its kind. The DS ONEi has its predecessor, DS ONE, and both are the same. DS TWO is DSi compatible and no need to add the 'i'

like I said, Acekard 3 is on the horizon and it's DSi compatible or DS2. It doesnt need the additional 'i'.

That is, if Supercard read my post. lol

Nice to see some built-in GBA. HOORAY!! but Im not too sure about RTC. Enlighten me, iPlayer users

PS: DSi LL/XL will have a tighter anti-piracy. Maybe this has a connection, doesnt it?

I highly doubt it. It's not out yet, how could they know what they're gonna reinforce, block or patch in the security of the DSi LL?

I see nothing to claim this will play DSi only games. But it's not foolish to wonder whether this is compatible with old Phats and Lites. I assume it is, but there's nothing to confirm or deny this.

Jakob- link?
 
This is pretty good news. GBA and SNES Emu are great and the PDF reader will be helpful too. I just hope they make a completely new menu, the one right now sucks.
 
I own an iPayer and what shall I say, GBA Emulation ist pretty good but it does not support the own sava ability of many games. With Moonshell ans YSMenu DS Roms still dont work but I think it is a matter of time till this become possible.
 
Hmm... I wonder why this doesn't explicitly state anything up front about video capability. It's obviously at leas as powerful as the iPlayer, so I'm really hoping they don't take any features out. I'm also curious about who's in charge of developing/porting the SNES emulator for it... generally, most companies have a low track record on publishing devices with decent 'built-in' emulators of anything beyond the NES.

And yes, the R4 clones and most other cards that aren't Cyclo will still outsell this. Assuming it retains the video features instead of 'replacing' them with DS ROM capabilities, it's going to sell for more than the iPlayer. $40+ for a flash card whose only truly outstanding features are its emulators, compared to a five dollar R4 knockoff? Guess what the average joe with a GBA slot is gonna pick, nine times outta ten?
 
This would certainly explain why the SC team hasn't updated the OS of the DSOne(i) for quite some time, they've been working on this!!

If the SNES/GBA emulators can run most games relatively glitch free(including games like Mario RPG) then I would gladly pay $50.00 for this cart. There's a lot of GBA games I missed out on when I had mine so being able to play some of them would be amazing.
 
*not bothering looking at all the comments* And this is why I bought the AK2i which is low cost good money

and waited for the next iteration of a flashcard with extra hardware

I hope they put the iPlayer UI on it. Did they say that it has .avi playback just like iPlayer as well? If yes, epic win.
 
Wonder if they can bothered to update the menu to use long file names for saves.

I've only been waiting for them to fix that on the ds-1 for @ 3years.

SC are **!!!*


"real time cheat engine, tho u can't read what the cheats are" FTW!!!!!!

"our record with GBA games is excelent, with our patented permanent slow motion feature!!!"
