Team Cyclops hacks Nintendo DSi using the CycloDS Evolution

With the recent release of the DSi there has seen a great deal of discussion and speculation. The official word from Team Cyclops is that The DSi is NOT compatible with CycloDS Evolution or ANY other similar device.

However, a recent video now demonstrates that for some time they have had a working test setup that is capable of running CycloDS Evolution on the Nintendo DSi.

“We must stress however that this is part of our research only; there is still a great deal of work to be done before we can even decide if a DSi compatible device is viable or not.”

It is only of matter of time! Check out the video and see what we can expect in the near future.

Note: The CycloDS Evolution is currently not compatible with the Nintendo DSi
