I know of a couple people that received theirs yesterday. Not review carts though, they bought them.

I'm going to wait until RHS gets them in though before I purchase one.

It appears that GBATemp has received theirs.

Jeez, look at the message I got from them.  

Sorry to bring you bad news, but your samples have been delayed yet again. The shipment from the factory was delayed so we cant have the samples shipped until tomorrow. Unfortunately we cant have our distributor ship you any retail units as they have ALL been allocated to fulfilling the remainder of the pre-orders. Please dont think that we're jerking you around As compensation for the delays, I've decided to send both you and sinkhead an extra sample each so now you will receive 2 units free of charge  Anyway, I'll keep you posted and PM the tracking number as soon as I have it. Sorry again.

I guess the extra CycloDS will replace the new flash cart I was planning on getting.    I don't know whether I should consider this bad news or good news.

Two free ones eh?  What do you think you're gonna do with that second one?

www.Moddz.com has their samples with images and impressions.

I've seen one today and got to give it a good test
there are problems..

1) it's cheat engine suffers from slowdown  just like the R4 (tested on 300cc mariokart on-line)..... also the slowmo feature is almost unusable.. the speed changes from minute to minute in the same game !!

2) run it with a crap mem card (sandisk standard) and POR freezes and both Tony Hawks games slow down just like every other flash cart, with removeable memory.. no miracle fixes for slow mem cards... note these games ran ok with a made in japan toshiba, though TH downhill jam was slightly laggy with it still

but otherwise it's a good flash cart


so guys, don't expect miracles... just SDHC support and better 'download n play'

So it sounds like just another R4/M3 Simply, except it has slo-mo, and can use microsdhc.

Thanks for the info.

[Hi]

I really like the idea of an automatic DLDI patcher too

DSorganise already has one...

No, I don't have a link to a slowdown cheat hook. I do know a slot 1 card can't change the speed of the DS internal CPU clock.  Slowdown would have to be implemented as delay in ARM7. I can look at Chrishm's brightness cheat source code and see that it would be possible to introduce a simple countdown loop to create a delay when a certain button combination is held down. I can also see how an alternate button combination could be used to toggle the delay loop on and off. Mark my words SCDS1 and R4 will support the same feature.

I hate to say I told you so.  :wink:  Supercard supports the slo-mo cheat.
