So I got a CycloDS
« on: October 16, 2007, 12:17:02 PM »
Not the Evolution, but their Slot-2 mini-SD device. I wanted something with writable RAM, and it's cheaper than the SUPERCARD SD (and it's essentially the same thing).

I got it for 34.99, installed the newest Supercard firmware on it, and had DSLinux + Memory Expansion running in about 20 minutes. Plus, in conjunction w/ a slot 1 card solution (R4, m3 simply) you can use the RAM off slot 2 to run the Opera Browser clean dump.

I'm also still using my MMD, at least until my g/f gets her DS, but only bc it allows for default boot files, while Supercard requires me to use it's default, non-skinnable firmware (ugh).

Anyone looking for a new slot-2 alternative should definitely consider getting one of these clones before Cyclo links them with their Evolution card and ups the price.

From http://www.divineo.com
Pretty much all the US stores on the cyclos website now re-direct to this store. They're based out of Canada and only ship Fedex International Express or International Mail, so you can get your package in 1 business day or 3 weeks; your choice.

The price is listed at $38.99 now, but that's still not too bad. Almost 100% rom compatibility w/ the Supercard Firmware.
