White CycloDS Evolution


Variants

The CycloDS Evolution is currently available in white and black.

General

The CycloDS Evolution is TeamCyclops' first slot-1 solution. It boasted several never before seen features like full download play, SDHC card support, and an in-game menu. Now, several card manufactures have followed in their footsteps by releasing their own SDHC compatible cards and adding full download play support. The team has listened to user bug reports and feature requests to make it one of the most feature-rich, and best cards out there.

Features

  • Completely plug & play - no FlashMe, PassMe or PC software required
  • 100% game compatibility, supports clean ROM's - works on any OS
  • Full NDS download play support, including problem games such as Mario Kart DS
  • Supports Wii connectivity with games like Pokemon Battle Revolution or Geometry Wars: Galaxies
  • Real-Time Saves; save anywhere, anytime, and come back to that exact same spot!
  • Action Replay compatible cheat code engine, comes bundled with cheat codes for over 300 games! -Custom cheat code support
  • PC-side cheat editor can automatically retrieve up-to-date codes from the internet
  • Uses MicroSD card, both FAT16 and FAT32 supported
  • Supports the MicroSDHC specification, allowing for high capacity memory cards
  • Save type is automatically detected, no need for a save type database
  • Save directly to MicroSD rather than onboard flash
  • User friendly, easily skinnable interface. Both touch screen and button operation supported
  • Multi-lingual user interface
  • "Enhanced Mode" which provides powerful, unique features during game play. Enhanced features are activated through an in-game menu.

Enhanced mode features include:

- Adjust LCD brightness during game play (NDSLite only)

  • Excellent homebrew compatibility thanks to the DLDI auto-patcher
  • 2 megabytes of onboard flash memory which contains the CycloDS Evolution OS and will be utilised in the future to add exciting new features.

A recovery mode is also included.

  • Autoboot mode which when activated will directly boot into the last ROM or homebrew application executed
  • Moonshell included to provide media playing functionality
  • PassMe function (boot from slot 2)

CycloDS Evolution Review

Excerpt: "I'd definitely recommend the cart to anyone seeking a slot-1 flash kit, but if you're already content with your current slot-1 solution, unless you're really interested in one of the above features, you should perhaps think twice before considering migrating. But if you're in the market for a feature rich slot-1 solution, I'd suggest you consider the CycloDS Evolution."
