Aren't these the same people who had used supercards for their product?

And the makers of CycloWiz.  But generally, I give flash carts the benefit of the doubt.  Now I'm excited.

extra memory for extra funcions is a nice ideia!

Do you guys think it is even possible to have these features?  I'm wondering how they can have the slow motion function working, but the brightness I can see it happening in all the other flash carts as soon as this one is released.

Yea right.....probably just lag from poor design  :lol:  :lol:

i'd be completely surprised if it's an actual new piece of hardware..

tennisgy

Well I am trying to be a believer on this one, i really like the idea of an automatic DLDI patcher too

Since we know the features of G6 REAL, and we don“t know if the features really works (even the price, think it'll be expensive), CycloSD slot1 is a promising one, and it seems to be better than G6 REAL and other ones. Hope price will be same as cyclo products, cheap.

I totally agree.

These features look great. Also saying "Full NDS download play support, including problem games such as Mario Kart DS" ? I don't know, everything sounds too good to be true. Wish it had internal memory though.

I"m definitely going to keep my eye on this one though.
Setup:
White Lite
Slot 1: CycloDSx2GB Kingston Japan, Supercard DSOne+1GB Nokia(J), 16G G6 DS Real, 16G DS-Linker, R4x1GB Kingston(J),
Slot 2: G6 Lite
PSP: 3.40 OE-A

You realize that's just marketing to get you to buy it, right?  How do we know they're not lying?  Perfect Download Play compatibility is exactly what the G6 DS promised, yet it apparently didn't work too well for DeVS.  Wait until the product comes out before getting excited about its Download Play compatibility so that you can be certain that the claim is true.

someone on ds-scene said
"it looks like wi-fi won't work"
any reason for that?

Eh...whatever. I'm still excited for it. I get excited for any new flash cart that comes out.

And again, the G6 DS has not been released. I"m not going to judge it until then.
Setup:

Yea I agree with h8uthemost, the G6DS Real hasn't had a single fair review yet.  None of them give it a score it truly deserves.  They put it down simply because all of its software is still in the beta.  The only fair review would be one released on or after the public release.

I really hope CycloDS Evolution does what it can promise, because it will knock R4 of the top of the food chain, which is something I really want to see.
