A. Yes. There is an item on the setttings menu that you can toggle through all 4 birghtness settings of the DS Lite. If you turn on Enhanced Mode (early firmwares only - latest firmwares Enhanced Mode is always on), you can also change the brightness DURING game play by freezing the game with L+R+A+B+X+Y and changing the brightness and returning to the game. A. Yes, and it does it WITHOUT pre-patching the game image.

A. The CycloDS Evolution works on all models of Nintendo DS including DS Classic (aka Phat), DS Lite and the iQue.

A. No, it is not required to flash your DS to use the CycloDS Evolution - It has a "passme" device built in. I still recommend you flash your DS to protect the firmware. Malware (like viruses, trojans, etc) are possible on the DS (and have been released twice since it was possible to do so). These malware programs can brick your DS if your DS isn't flashed to protect the firmware. A. Yes, it does.

A. Kinda. There are a couple of open source/homebrew browsers that are, politically said, in their infancy. They won't support, say, Gmail or any other "real" websites. However, the developers are hard at work on the issue and we're likely to see something usable in the next year or two. On the other hand, Opera (my personal favorite browser on the PC) has a commercial product for the Nintendo DS. It comes on a standard DS cartridge and includes a RAM expansion pack for the Slot 2 on your DS.

A. The cheat system can be turned on within the settings menu. Once turned on, when you launch a compatible game, you will be asked if you want to turn on cheats. If you turn them on, you can choose from 300 various cheats. Using the Evolution Tools (found on the official site), you can add your own cheats.

You have the ability to transfer your Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ID to another Nintendo DS. This is usefull if you have purchased another Nitendo DS system (such as those who want to purchase the newer Nintendo DS Lite), and means you won't have to worry about getting new Friend Codes or losing your Wi-Fi Connection stats. Click here to go to Wi-Fi support step-by-step instructions on transfering a Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ID to another Nintendo DS or DS Lite.

D2_3DFX uses the general brightness settings from your original Descent2 executable. Therefore, in order to adjust the brightness in D2_3DFX, simply run your original Descent2.EXE, adjust the brightness up or down in the Options screen, then re-run D2_3DFX. Also, use the environment variable SST_GAMMA=x.xx (seen above) to adjust the gamma control for your 3DFX card. x.xx should be a number between 0.25 and 1.95.

First of all, you need a Nintendo DS. Nintendo DS is a handheld gaming console created by Nintendo and is mainly used to play games. You can find it at any store selling video-games for about US $130. There currently are two versions of the Nintendo DS, the normal one (often called Fat) and the newer Nintendo DS Lite. Since the Nintendo DS Lite has a better screen, that preferred for use with Colors!.

Yes! We plan to use the WiFi compatibility of both so you can use your Nintendo DS as an input device for WiiLi. Linux is already running on the Nintendo DS. Make sure you visit the www.dslinux.org forums.

The Nintendo DS is a handheld (portable) game console produced in Japan by Nintendo Co. Ltd. The unit sports dual screens (one is touch sensitive), dual cpus, clamshell design, stereo sound, microphone, local and infrastructure wifi networking.

A. While the Supercard (and most slot 1 flashcarts) uses significantly more power than a real DS cart, the CycloDS Evolution card is comparable. So, using the CycloDS Evolution is similar in battery use to a real DS cart. Independant tests show you will get about 91% of your normal battery life using the CycloDS Evolution vice a real DS card. If you change games a lot, you will use less power by using the CycloDS Evolution's in game reset instead of cycling power every time.

In a grayscale image, each pixel value represents what is loosely called brightness. However, brightness is defined formally as the attribute of a visual sensation according to which an area appears to emit more or less light. This definition is obviously subjective, so brightness is an inappropriate description of, or metric for, image data. Grayscale image data is normally based upon luminance. Color image data is normally based upon tristimulus values.

A. The CycloDS Evolution is a Nintendo DS/DS Lite flash cartridge. It's purpose is to allow you to play homebrew application and games, music, movies and backups of commercial games on your DS. It plugs into Slot 1 on the DS and is the same size as a regular DS game cartridge.

A. The CycloDS Evolution features 2MB of onboard flash memory that holds the entire CycloDS Evolution interface and utilities. This means you don't have to store any files on the microSD card for the CycloDS Evolution operating system. The flash memory has a recovery mode that will allow you to recover it if a firmware upgrade goes bad.

Out of the box, a Nintendo DS can only run games and programs licensed by Nintendo. All games and programs go through a certification process to make sure they live up to the standard expected of a Nintendo DS game. While this is a good thing, it also means that you normally can?t run programs not endorsed by Nintendo. Making your Nintendo DS homebrew allows you to run programs not licensed or endorsed by Nintendo.

There are a few different ways to make your Nintendo DS homebrew enabled but the easiest is to buy a thing called a DS Slot-1 flash-carts. This looks and works just like a normal Nintendo DS game but with the difference that you can connect it to a computer to manage what it contains.

The best thing you can do is to transfer your WFC settings from your old DS to your new one. You can do this by starting "Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam" in your old DS and selecting "Wireless" from the main menu, then "Settings", then "Nintendo WFC Setup". From here select "Options", then "Transfer Nintendo WFC Configuration". Follow the instructions shown to transfer your account to your new DS.

I own a Cisco, D-Link, Linksys, Netgear, Nortel, or SMC a/b/g wireless card and am having throughput (slow connection) problems

I tried this myself and it doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe we'll find out something in the future.

Beginning in the Winter of 2005, Nintendo DS owners around the world started to play some of their favorite franchises via Wi-Fi. Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing DS and a new Tony Hawk title from Activision were among the first using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, a groundbreaking portable, wireless gaming network.

A few games appear to have issues with the Enhanced Mode (which allows you to halt the game and return to the main menu, etc). Team Cyclops aggressively fixes these issues. A. I tested numerous "problem" games with this card and all seemed to run just fine on standard memory. Tom & Jerry's music stutters a bit on the slot selection screen, but not during the game.

A. The CycloDS Evolution is 100% compatible with major homebrew applications that support the DLDI patching process - which is most of the bigger, most desirable homebrew including DSOrganize, Moonshell, etc. The CycloDS Evolution features on-board real time DLDI patching - so there is no need to pre-patch homebrew. Just drop the homebrew on the card and run.

A. No. This is not possible until an actual GBA emulator comes out of the DS, which doesn't appear to be coming anytime soon. If you want GBA emulation, you will need to look to a supplimental card for your CycloDS Evolution . I recommend the M3 line or see if Team Cyclops has implemented the GBA linking to their Slot 2 product. You may also consider the EZ Flash 3 in 1 expansion device which works well with GBA games.

A. There are emulators for some of these platforms, but none other than NES are really worth discussing. The NES emulator is great and plays a lot of games. The card does not have this emulation built in like Supercard and other slot 2 cards have. You will have to get the emulator and get it working on your own. NESDS now supports DLDI. Check it out.

A. This depends on how big of a memory card (microSD/transflash/microSDHC) you have as well as how big the games are. Currently the largest Nintendo DS game is 128MB (megabytes, not bits) which means that on a 1GB microSD card, you can get about 9 of these games. However, this size of game is rare and you will most likely be able to fit about 30-50 games of various sizes on a 1GB card. Most people asking this question are really asking "how big of a memory card should I get?' ..
