By: ahtin from HKCC <-- lots of pictures here. Note: this is the Chinese version. There will also be a English version.
Translation: Felix

This is a testing version. Problems will be fixed soon.

Loading speed is really fast. Using Kingston 1G (JP) to run Elite Beat Agents is even faster than the real card! Akumajou Dracula Gallery of Labyrinth will not freeze, even on cheap no brand memory cards. iQue games work, even on a non-iQue DS.

Included Moonshell works.

You can use your old saves, but you need to convert it to 512k size first.

Built in NoPass works on SC/M3/G6. EWIN/EZ not tested yet.

Tested and works
0602 - English Training (E)
0622 - Kanshuu Nippon Joushikiryoku Kentei Kyoukai: Imasara Hito ni wa Kikenai Otona no Joushikiryoku Training DS (J)
0623 - Pinky Street - Kira Kira Music Hour (J)
0636 - Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam (U)
0655 - Elite Beat Agents (US) (including rumble)
0664 - Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam (E)
0676 - Akumajou Dracula Gallery of Labyrinth (J)
0693 - Spider-Man: Battle for New York (U)
0761 - Ryuusei no Rockman - Ice Pegasus (JP)
0762 - Ryuusei no Rockman - Green Dragon (JP)
0768 - Touch de Tanoshimu Hyakunin Isshu: DS Shigureden  (JP)

Doesn't work
0434 - New Super Mario Bros (U) mini game black screen
0442 - New Super Mario Bros (J) mini game black screen
0479 - New Super Mario Bros (E) mini game black screen
0540 - Star Fox Command (U) white screen when you quit during the game
0735 - Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (U) (SanDisk 2G hangs, Kingmax 512 works perfectly)
0759 - Ryuusei no Rockman - Fire Leo (JP) (maybe related to bad dump)

Download play works for some games, but not for others, even if the client is flashed.

That's rather disappointing if some games don't work.  I honestly don't care how well games run if only 75% of the games actually run.

However, if they could fix the issues with games hanging, then this might be the something we've all been waiting for(or atleast me).

look for a beta it looks decent with faster loads than normal and its just mini games and those other ones will be fixed by launch i would assume.

I wonder if it supports Download Play to non-flashed DSs? I hope it does.
