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

What are the pros and cons of each one? And explain why you think it is better.

Below is the reply that Nightroad posted.

I own a CycloDS With an 8GB Kingston Micro SDHC Card, and a EZ Flash 3-1 Expansion Cart. I can say from experience that I have had NO problem with my CycloDS. It does everything it advertises and I’ve been able to play every singe ROM I’ve tried without any additional software. (Except GBA Roms with 1024 Save type, but that was easy to fix).

My brother bought one of the new “Fake” R4. They’re not really fakes, they’re clones of the R4 with SDHC support, made by some of the R4 team after they split. I gave my brother my old 2GB Kingston SD card and it plays ok. Claims to have many of the features the CycloDS has, but I haven’t messed with it enough to see. Had trouble playing Sonic The Dark brotherhood (Would not play at all). My CycloDS plays it just fine without any problems.

The R4 is a little more challenging to work too. My brother had to download and copy files to his to get it to work. The CycloDS is basically plug and play. It takes care of the rest.

Updating the CycloDS couldn’t be easier. Copy the firmware update to your SD card, boot up and it updates automatically and deletes the firmware update. If you get a bad firmware update, you can do a reset using a button combination.

I can’t say much bad about the R4. Doesn’t have some of the compatibility the CycloDS has and all it’s pre-built cheats are in Japanese, so you kinda can’t jump right into your favorite game very easily. CycloDS came with a lot of pre-built *english* Cheats.

There’s A LOT of crap on youtube and various gaming forums about the R4. People getting fakes, the card breaking, stop working, or the dreaded “Loading…” bug that a majority of problems seem to be.

These cards are something you have to be careful with. It’s like buying a used car. It really is worth it to take the extra money and buy something you KNOW is reliable vs. something that’s questionable.

I vote for a CycloDS. Has never given me problems and does what it says it’ll do.

So, to conclude.

There are more R4 clones on the market. I have done some research and discovered that the original manufactures of the R4 no longer produces them. It is hard to get your hands on an original, but they do exist. I have also had my own personal experience with the R4 and CycloDS. In short, I’m not sure if it was a clone or an original, but it doesn’t work any more. The funny thing is the top selling card on Amazon UK, is the R4. I doubt that it is an original, it is a top seller for one reason. The R4 is a well known name and was the card that paved the way for the rest, and this is being used by many online retailers to sell clone.

The CycloDS Evolution is easier to use and the firmware is easier to update. The CycloDS Evolution works right out of the box, whereas the R4 requires you to download and install software before you can you it and to put the icing on the cake the firmware hasn’t been upgraded for some time.

The CycloDS Evolution comes with a cheat engine which will allow you to cheat within games. Most importantly, if you download games, the CycloDS is 100% compatible with every Nintendo DS game ever released and will continue to be 100% compatible with future releases because of the  continuous support and firmare updates. Compatiblity is currently about 90% for the R4.

Nuff said.
