Supercard DSTWO hands-on preview

[iFish]

How can they be sure about being able to bypass ANY anti-piracy in the future? nintendo can get their hands on a DSTWO and look how it does it, then make future anti-piracy to not be able to be stopped by this.

so ANY anti-piracy, is not a good thing to say. you never know what the future will bring,

It'll either be them or Square that will put out a game that will have an AP that specifically targets this device XD

Exactly!! Game will target it. and then this feature will not be true.
But only time will tell, plus hte DS might be nearing its end anyway

This is awesome, totally worth getting. The only problem is the price, because Acekard 2i does me well for a very cheap price and if it did break (wet,smashed,brick) I could afford a new one. But I'm hoping I get what I pay for because I'm going to buy a Supercard DSTWO.

This will be the best cart out once everything is ready!!!

Loving the awesome package and cart design!!! Minimalistic designs are SWEET!

 

[KingVamp]

Some parts remind me of the m3i zero

I didn't see that... Maybe you're talking about Moonshell 2, which is almost the same as M3Sakura?

Yea on the video at 08:00 ....

I can't wait until they get all the kinks worked out and for the release date. I hope the product lives up to the hype!

The only question I have, which has never been anwsered (or I am blind), is does it run DSi Enchanced/Only games using the DSi features (which may never been worthwhile, but that is not the point)?

Until we get some kind of DSi mode flashcart, I'm going to bet the answer is no. As far as I know, games that are running in strictly NDS mode (which all current flashcards are) can't get at extra DSi features.

appearance is really super!! Really nice card with super futures i think.

one stupid question: this is only dsi and not for ds right?

If if was only for DSi their following would go waaaay down.

i remember free cheats back on my game boy color

you wont get a lot of things from a game like super mario, you might be able to get infinite jump or something by searching on different jump heights, but thats more or less it

its still pretty funny, I frequently did it for the heck of it in all kinds of games


does this work on ds/dslite too? or is it only dsi?

wish i had one

thx for the preview
but 3 questions
1. What is the exactly speed the included CPU is clocked with?
2. Is there any extra Ram included too?
3. What about the Accu usage? How long is the Ds playable with this Card?
In my opinion it should be a lot less than other cards, because of the extra CPU.

32 MB of RAM..and I *think* a 400 mhz ARM CPU? I may not be correct on that one.

 

[PolloDiablo]

as I can watch my Bleach/Hitman Reborn/FMAB without all this unneeded converting I'll be fine. Im getting so excited.

for FMAB you will have to convert anyway

.... dont expect that it supports HD resolutions.
But... there is a lot of mirrors that have the serie in 720x400!!!

ok thanks
I already read this on another site too but couldn't belive.
If its true than just the card is more than the double faster than a dsi! and also 77mhz faster than a PSP?!!
And if its true it should be the ARM 9 or 11 Processor. But Im thinking about it. How will a simple Ds accu handle this?
3 CPU's and 2 Ram's

I have to check the electr. usage of this processor's...

and 32MB Ram OMG! maybe if its not that expensive Ill buy one of this Cards too...

4hrs of uptime makes this a cart that’s great for a ds and an ac power adapter. i wouldn't take only this 1 kit on a trip with me, for example. based on what shaun wrote they haven't bothered to update the gba emu yet. i hope they get around to making improvements to it, otherwise what is the point? it would be nice to see the firmware, gui, gba emulation and snes emulation all polished and working as close to perfect as possible before the public release. if they want to do emulation for other systems that should come later. no one is going to want to deal with a buggy firmware or buggy gba support for the first year. if they start to pump out more dingoo sdk ported emulators (iplayer gba was ported to the iplayer using the dingoo sdk) they are going to spread themselves to thin.

still with all the early complaints this is shaping up to be the card to have. i can't wait to play with it on the dsi xl!!

thanks for the pics and write up shaun.

overall looking at the PCB, this is indeed an iplayer, but with modified OS..........

Begs the question "Will the OS work on an iplayer?".
Would be nice, though I'd rather a black shell.

 

[TheWolf619]

Pre-order is in, I'm so hyped for this card. Thanks for the preview Shaun!!

 

[GreatCrippler]

All of a sudden I am getting the impression that the SNES emulation is gonna be problematic. With the given stats, GBA emulation should be full speed with ease. If they can't get that to full without frameskip, you can forget about the higher end SNES Chip games.

i can't wait to play with it on the dsi xl!!

Agreed huge as GBA screen!
