CycloDS Evolution VS. R4 Original

    I've already bought the Original R4 ($6.10) but I was wondering what CycloDS Evolution ($62-79) is like?

    I've visited their website, and it looks very cleaned up and has a good format compared to the R4
    website. The actual flashcart looks great , it comes in a shiny tin case and I couldn't resist
    something that shiny :D

    I've heard also that the interface of CycloDS is pretty good and the ROMs load quicker than R4.
    But pricewise I just had to go for the R4 because it was cheap, good & did the sames things as
    Cyclo.

    So I'm just wondering what would YOU recommend?

    If you have an original R4, I wouldn't buy another card. Wood makes it good enough. Anything else would be a waste of money (unless you were upgrading to a DSi).

    I always found them 1) not in my price range and 2) not as good as other carts that cost less.

    I am a proud cyclods fan, before they went a bit broke they were the best card on the mart, 98% games work and if they don't they will have a patch, i would recommend a cyclods, but if you want a cheap card that can break if you drop get a r4
