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. See similar questions...

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

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. See similar questions...

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. 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...

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!. See similar questions...

A. Yes. There is a menu item on the CycloDS Evolution screen to boot to the Slot 2 cart - although it is not available on the first menu - you have to choose the right-most icon to launch the settings.

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. See similar questions...

There is NO software only solution to flashing a DS. You MUST PURCHASE HARDWARE to flash your DS. I don't care what your friend's friend told you or what you read on a website. You can use a third generation passme type device (Superkey, passme3, R4/M3 Simply, etc) to avoid flashing your DS. But we don't recommend using homebrew from untrusted sources without flashing your DS. See similar questions...

Do not start this unless you have time to complete it. You rush, you'll dick it up and you'll be pissed. Learn from the mistakes of others. It took me a good half hour to flash my first DS. Now I can do it in about 2 minutes. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...
