A. Sort of. You can ONLY play DPG/DSM formatted movies on the DS. These are very unique formats and while there is some content preconverted out there, you should expect to convert all your own content. Honestly, the DS is NOT a good device for playing movies (MP3s, sure, but not movies). The reason is, the playback isn't great, the picture isn't great and I've found problems with playing back long, large content like movies. See similar questions...

A. Currently via the homebrew application Moonshell (which is available as a prepatched download for the CycloDS Evolution on their web site) you can play most popular formats including MP3, OGG and WAV. The quality of playback is very good and the DS works pretty well for this sort of convergance task. See similar questions...

A. Yes you can. Using the awesome homebrew application DSOrganize, you can comfortably view BMP/JPG/PNG/GIF/RAW formats. The DS memory is fairly small, so I wouldn't be looking at 10 megapixel images on it, but if you want to throw together some photo galleries for friends and family, it's possible. There are other image viewer applications which buck a lot of flash and style, but they require the images get converted into a "bundle" file first. See similar questions...

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. 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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

VLC Media Player is the most versatile player we've found for playing the wide variety of movies found in the Archive. And, it's free! We also recommend MPlayer. MPEG2 (DVD) freeware VLC, shareware player from http://www.elecard.com, or for-pay quicktime6 plugin: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/mpeg2playback/ ; MPEG2 (DVD) freeware VLC ( http://www.videolan.org/ ) the for-pay quicktime6 add-on (see http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/mpeg2playback/ ).

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. See similar questions...

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?' .. See similar questions...

There are tools to assist you in skin creation. As of V1.2 beta, you can have and toggle through mutliple skins on the CycloDS. A. It looks and feels like a regular DS cart. The chip inside pushes the case out slightly (on earlier builds - the latest ones do not), but it works very well. Occassionally, when the card comes out of the DS, it sticks a little - but it doesn't require much to get it out. You aren't even likely to notice it. A. See similar questions...

A. Thanks to some clever programming, you can - but it isn't easy. I've created a walkthrough on how to do it. You can find it here. You will have to have a working "homebrew" compatible wifi connection (this is the method I show you in the walkthrough) or a slot2 solution. See similar questions...

A. I've only dealt with US dealers personally. I recommend Jandaman.com, RealHotStuff.com and ModChipStore.com. If you need to import one, you could try PlayAsia.com - they are a reliable importer. I'll add other dealers I find reputable. See similar questions...

A. Yes. The microSD card format can be in FAT or FAT32, allowing most major operating systems to access them. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

A. The CycloDS Evolution supports a multi-lingual interface. Several languages are currently available. See similar questions...

A. Get the latest firmware update from the Team Cyclops site. Copy the file to the root of your microSD card. Boot your CycloDS Evolution and it will start the firmware update automatically. Download the firmware to the computer first, extract it and then COPY it to the microSD (vice downloading directly or uncompressing directly to the microSD card). Get a dedicated, small known compatible microSD card and keep it on hand JUST for doing firmware ugrades. See similar questions...
