Team Cyclops today announced their next product release - the CycloDS iEvolution.

The flashcart is compatible with DSi and DSi LL/XL consoles (DS/DSL also supported), and boasts all of the features of the original CycloDS Evolution plus "a few new features which are certain to appeal to many users" (Team Cyclops, here).

Current list of features:

  • Action replay compatible cheat function
  • 8Mbytes flash memory onboard
  • Advanced onboard FPGA and MCU
  • Super robust and high build quality
  • Superior technical support
  • Multi lingual OS
  • Regular software updates
  • Onboard updatable bootstrap feature
  • Supports MicroSD and MicroSDHC memory cards up to 32GB
  • Autoboot mode
  • Supports Homebrew applications and games
  • Full download play support
  • Wii connectivity mode supported
  • Enhanced mode with features such as slow motion and Real Time Save
  • Updater module and MicroSD reader included

So, from that list… what's new?

  • This one seems to include 8 MB on-board memory, which is 4 X as much as the CycloDS Evolution (just 2 MB). That means more space for firmware (and therefore, bigger and better features!)
  • Seems to be "future proof" against DSi firmware updates, as the cart's boot ROM is upgradable
  • Includes all of the other amazing features of the current CycloDS Evolution, including the in-game Enhanced Menu

The product should ship in the second week of December, just in time for Christmas!

In the meantime Team Cyclops is also working on a new firmware release for the regular CycloDS Evolution to enhance compatibility for newer titles.

Thanks to all our loyal customers for their ongoing support!
— Team Cyclops

We will give you more news and photos as we get it!

yeah!
Finally Team Cyclops got it.
Although I have no DSi I am happy about hearing these features. I hope that the föashacrd also bricks the CountryCode (That u can't play Japanese games on german Dsi).

Yes, I'm waiting patiently to see what the full feature list is when the product is released. They have an extra 6 MB of memory for storing firmware, so space won't be as much of an issue any more for them when adding features to the firmware.

that means that they can finally make the new recoded Gui?
That would be perfect :)
Only bad that they don't have it for the old card (maybe)…

They already have the new GUI on the old cart - yes, it's in beta at the moment, but it's still there.

I know, but I thought something about more designing the card - You only can define the backgrounds and icons plus the colors. That's a lot but if you open the menu while playing a game (the continue game, back to home ,save rts…) its still in the old design.

.avi files are for DeSmuME, right? my friend was annoyed because he could export them as a .sav file…

If this cart is as special as I think it might be, it may convince me to finally get a DSi XL. I don't really care about the DSi features, I just want those bigger screens. Since none of the flashcarts I have work in a DSi, I never really considered it before, but since TC is releasing one, I might end up getting one after all.

I would love a DSiXL, but I am totally unwilling to sacrifice Gameboy Advance support. :(

Maybe this will be that little shove I need to make the jump…

I understand how frustrating and annoying this is :(
Hopefully they will get their website back online again soon.
