The config.xml file contains the configuration settings for your CycloDS Evolution. The file can be found at \CycloDS\config.xml on your microSD(HC) card.
It is highly recommended that you backup your config.xml file regularly as the microSD card is known to become corrupted! If you encounter any problems, you can just delete the file and your CycloDS Evolution will recreate it again next power up. Your next step will be to just put your backup back on there instead! :)
This is a list of all of the parameters you can use in the configuration file. Parameters should be used as follows:
<parameterName>value</parameterName>
| Description | Changes the firmware version shown at the bottom of the main menu. Used by some third-party applications for checking for firmware updates. This value is updated automatically by the CycloDS and should not be altered manually. |
| Allowed values | any firmware version |
| Example | <firmwareVersion>1.55</firmwareVersion> |
| Description | Changes the brightness of the CycloDS GUI and in-game. Can also be changed with the settings menu. |
| Allowed values | 0 - Lowest Luminosity: 15-19 hours 1 - Low Luminosity: 10-15 hours 2 - High Luminosity: 7-11 hours 3 - Highest Luminosity: 5-8 hours |
| Example | <brightnessLevel>2</brightnessLevel> |
| Description | Enables or disables cheats. Note that you must always have a default.evoCheats file (comes with firmware), and that user.evoCheats is a separate file that can be downloaded from our Cheat Database. |
| Allowed values | 0 - False 1 - True |
| Example | <cheatCodesEnabled>1</cheatCodesEnabled> |
| Description | The X button toggles between the three file view modes: ROM view where the game name stored inside the ROM file is displayed, file view where the file name of the ROM is displayed and list view which is similar to file view mode except 10 items are displayed per page rather than just 4. |
| Allowed values | 0 - ROM view 1 - File view 2 - List view |
| Example | <viewMode>0</viewMode> |
| Description | If you hold L+R while CycloDS boots, it will load the last ROM that was executed. This value is updated automatically by the CycloDS. |
| Allowed values | 0 - False 1 - True |

This can be useful if you wish to take a break from your NDS and are not anywhere near a save point in your game, or if you wish to make the game easier by loading an old state of game play when you make an error. To create a RTS file for a particular game, hold the SELECT button as you launch it from the game list. |
| Allowed values | 0 - False 1 - True |
| Example | <rtsEnabled>1</rtsEnabled> |

| Allowed values | the name of any directory in the root of the microSD |
| Example | <altSavePath>/SAVES</altSavePath> |
| Description | Sets whether or not the battery save mode is enabled. It is recommended that you do enable it, however it may cause compatibility issues with some games and you should try disabling it before filing a bug report to see if doing so solves your problem. |
| Allowed values | 0 - False 1 - True |
| Example | <batterySaveEnabled>1</batterySaveEnabled> |
| Description | The in-game text reader feature allows you to read text files during a game. The text reader only becomes available when you have setup a text file. The .txt has to have the same name as the rom you are using, like: 1234game.nds and 1234game.txt. You can customize the directory where the .txt files are. |

| Example | <gbaSavePath>/GBA_SAVE</gbaSavePath> |
| Description | Enhanced mode offers additional features during game play, which are not available with standard game cards. If Enhanced mode has been enabled, during game play press A + B + X + Y + L + R simultaneously to bring up the in-game menu. |

A few of the newer Config.XML options need to be added to this list (the new GUI beta ones). I'm going to do this later, but if anyone's got free time and is willing to do it first… ;-)
Would be a good idea to add this to the description though:
Which renders as:
Only works with the GUI beta range, on the temporary config.xml file.
