Stock Status: In stock and ready to ship! We have our new batch in. The firmware is 1.4 on the cycloDS evo, and the card readers are 100% working on all brands tested including 8gb micro SDHC!

We are not stocking anymore white cycloDS evolutions, they are all black. The early white Cyclos are pretty average with their failure rate, Black Evos are great...so we are sticking with them :) Before you start to think 'hmmm, I really want a white card to match my white DS' - Just remember that the card is inside your console, not on the outside, you can't even see it!

Important!
Because the tin box the cyclo comes in is bulky, we cannot absorb the price of sending it off with free registered post. If you want the Tin box it comes in, you must choose express post. Registered post will get 100% of the contents (Card + usb reader) without the box, in a bubble wrap bag. If you order is over $400 - we will send your order via DHL couriers (for a fast and safe delivery with online tracking all the way)

Warning!
I has come to our attention that some resellers in Australia are not replacing CycloDS Evos directly. They will tell you to email team cyclops for a swap. Team cyclops will tell you to send the evo to Europe with a postal service that is trackable online. We are pretty sure that the cheapest way to do this costs $45 AUD. Waiting weeks on end, and paying $45 extra is a slap in the face. As long as we are in stock, and your product is under warranty, we will swap over a faulty product in a flash.

Enough yapping, onto the product! What is the CycloDs Evolution?
At the time of writing (20/07/08), after about 1 year of selling the CycloDS evolution, its the number 1 selling flash cart on our website, and we are the number 1 reseller in Australia. The reason for this is that once people try one, they never want to try another card! We are well aware that the DS flash cart market is flooded with cheap nasty cards, like the N5, R6, R4 clones, DSTT (yeah, its nasty). CycloDS are among a select few card that hold strong with great features and support.

When someone emails us to ask "what is the very best card on the market to buy for me/my son or daughter/my friend". The answer is that M3 Real will always be close, but if money is not a problem, the answer is definitely the CycloDS Evolution!

The features are always being changed, so please have a look at the features tab, but in our own words this is why its the best:

  • It was the first flash card to be SDHC compliant, meaning you can use 4gb+ micro sd cards to store 100's or ROMs, music, and videos at a time.
  • Real Time save/load. Its a feature that is extremely rare! It gives the user the ability to save a game whenever they want, and then load it when they turn on their DS. Its handy when you are stuck in a hard spot on a game, or when you are on the train for example, and don't have time to get to a save point with your DS battery running low!
  • There is no need for software installation from a CD, and you don't need to download firmware. The cycloDS has really small inbuilt memory that stores the firmware, and when you put your microSD card into your evolution for the first time, it loads some files onto there. It is no biggy, but its very newbie friendly!
  • Highly active forums. They are the only card to have mostly English user base, most other cards are big in Asia so they have Asian forums. If you are stuck with some features, there are 100s of users that will help you here.
  • Even though they don't really have a competitor that is close (feature wise) they never stop bringing out new features. The latest at time of writing, is an in-game txt reader. You can download a walk through for a game you are playing, and in the middle of the game you can pause the game and read the txt file!

 

Check out this quick youtube video. Things to note: This is an OLD video - the cartridge is now black, Real time save is now a feature with 1.3 and above firmware. Please also remember that if we post it for free (registered), there will be no Tin case at all.

 

By the way, before you add this to your cart. This product does nothing without a micro sd card to store information. You can buy a micro sd card yourself, you can buy a high quality microSD card from us in a combo.

 

The following is the sales message from the cycloDS's website, and was not written by us:

CycloDS Evolution is a multi-functional Micro SD adapter for NDS and NDS Lite (Slot 1) which allows you to play games, listen to MP3's, view images, read e-books and enjoy the vast collection of homebrew applications for NDS. You can also take advantage of the inbuilt cheat code system to enjoy more freedom with your favourite games with unlimited energy, ammo, etc.


CycloDS Evolution is the world's most advanced Media Enhancer for NDS Lite and NDS. Boasting superior functionality, European design and quality components, CycloDS Evolution is unparalleled in its field.

The unique enhanced mode offers powerful, unique features during game play which are activated through an in-game menu. These features include RealTime Save, in-game LCD brightness adjustment, SlowMotion mode and in-game reset. The cheat code engine is directly compatible with Action Replay codes and CycloDS Evolution comes bundled with cheat codes for over 300 games so you can get started right away without any fuss. The RealTime Save feature allows you to save your game progress at  any point in the game and then resume from that point at any time, allowing you to more easily master difficult parts of the game. This is similar to the concept of "saved states" found in many emulators.

CycloDS Evolution's inbuilt OS can run homebrew software without the need for any patching on the users part. Loading is fast and trouble free, simply browse to the software you want to play and tap to execute. You don't even need to apply DLDI patches to your homebrew software; CycloDS Evolution takes care of this for you with its automatic DLDI patching feature.

Evolution loads media from MicroSD cards, which means you're free to buy more memory at any time, never constrained by the boundaries of onboard flash memory. Transferring games and homebrew software is simple using the supplied MicroSD USB reader. Simply connect to your PC and drag & drop the desired files onto your MicroSD card.

Listen to MP3's, watch videos or even read e-books via Moonshell. The Moonshell multimedia application will maximize the versatility of your handheld console.

The CycloDS Evolution GUI was designed with user friendliness in mind and can be operated exclusively with the stylus if desired. Skinning is supported which means you'll always have a fresh view of our product at your fingertips. The user interface is multi-lingual, currently supporting the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Spanish, Latin American Spanish and Portuguese.
