For those who may not be able to access the message:

Hello,

We apologize for any inconvenience caused, we had few issues with the web servers and further compounded by problems communicating with our host. All hosting issues have now been resolved.

The R&D is hard at work and a new firmware update should be available soon.

Best Regard
Team Cyclops - Tech Support


This was posted at 7:12 AM today at TC's forums, so it's good news for those of us that thought we got burned.

 

[Gariscus]

Great news.

 

[EyeZ]

At last, they are able to message us to let us know what the problem was. Great news indeed!

 

[nutella]

Regardless, I still stand by my argument that for the what the CycloDS offers, it is not worth the money anymore. This is just going to happen all over again and has been for more than a year. But still, if you have one (like me

) then good news for us.

 

[zombymario]

Great news. Can't wait till the update!

 

[XtremeCore]

Great news. They didn't disappoint us after all these false "trauma"

 

[impizkit]

Great news. They didn't disappoint us after all these false "trauma"

Thats why I voted that they are not gone. I knew we would get word sooner or later. Its all good now. Its just a matter of waiting now for the new firmware.

I don't know why people would pay almost $50 for an old cart, when a far more superior cart is available at a lower price

on another note, I guess team cyclop finally decided to pay their bill

 

[Gariscus]

Most(or a great deal) of us had a CycloDS before the DSTWO was even announced.

Got my CycloDS in early 08' and my DSTwo at launch. The DSTwo is great, but I still love my CycloDS more. I keep the DSTwo up to date in case my CycloDS or TC quit on me. Until then, its CycloDS all the way.

 

[DespizingU]

Finally... They felt compelled to let the Cyclo community know what's going on. Bravo

I agree with every single word 100%.

Nice to see them Back. I've been happy with the support for the last 2 years and have faith they'll see this till the end.

I'm pretty disappointed with a lot of the negative feedback. I can understand the frustration, but they did give you an awesome cart with 3+ years of support.

I guess some people cant even give them 3 days let alone 3 weeks.

 

[Schlupi]

Good no -- GREAT news to see they have not abandoned their cart.

I still hope they have a DSi cart in the works...

Also, I agree, the price tag is no longer justified. At this point it is better just to buy a DSTWO.

 

[Berthenk]

Fuck yeah! I've sold my CycloDS to a friend and I'd hate to tell him it was basically worthless...

Thats uh... nice.

Too bad it's not. Update coming soon...

There is your Karma raping your mind, foolish mortal.

why would you want a cycloDSi if the 3DS is almost out.also all DSi carts do right now is play regular DS games.wouldn't that be a reason why there is no cycloDSi .to them it was probably a waste of money to make.no DSi mode no cyclodsi that is why there probably is no DSi cart from them.

If he wants a DSi flashcart, its probably because he has a DSi unit.

I knew they weren't gone.

Got my Cyclo since january '08. Still working like a charm. Hope they release a new update soon.

As I said, it's really easy to prevent, and you're given warnings ahead of time. Somebody could roll out of bed naked, sit at the computer, check their e-mail, find their domain is going to expire in a week, choose to renew it, and crawl back into bed within 15 minutes... avoiding it entirely, naked, in 15 minutes while half-asleep.

If somebody lets their domain expire, there's two possibilities.

1 - They're in financial trouble to the point where they can't even afford the renewal fee on a domain name. If you can't afford $20, you're not going to stay active very long.

2 - They just don't give a fuck. Now, whether it's the cyclo team itself responsible or somebody they hired to maintain the site for them, we'll need to see.
