DSi firmware 1.4 blocks flashcards!
Facebook photo uploads + faster camera


Nintendo has just released DSi firmware 1.4 which adds Facebook photo uploads, a faster camera and blocks flashcards. We'd suggest if you value using flashcards with your DSi you don't update.

Nintendo has signaled what we always suspected would be the case; they intend to start an arms race with flashcard makers and block their new DSi compatible cards with firmware updates. Now it's time to see how the flashcard makers respond. Some flashcards like the M3i Zero and Supercard DSONEi have updatable firmwares that potentially could save them from being blocked if the flashcard makers find a suitable workaround. Others like the iTouch2 can not be updated at all and will be useless on a DSi with firmware 1.4 and above. For now at least, DSi enhanced games don't require a certain firmware in order to be run.

The update is confirmed to be live in Europe, Japan and Australia so far.

Not good news... what if flashcart developers can't find a new way for them to work? [rhetorical question]

By "faster camera" what do you mean?

Nice feature to upload your photos to Facebook, that's a good idea.
Hopefully the flashcardmakers can find a way around.

Hahaha, and i told this week some ppl not to buy one of those flashcards, but the would not listen.
The said something like, Nintendo never did a FW before, so why would the bother.

So he wil get screwed if he ever needs to update tongue.gif

Bah! I'm curious as to what faster camera means... but I don't want to see if I can update my DSi.

Curiousity is killing me!

Edit: -Gasp!- I remember Cyclo saying they weren't going to release a cart until existing ones didn't work. They assumed this firmware update would be at E3. I think Nintendo waited until the major flashcart manufacturers released their carts so they can be sure all are broken. Now Cyclo here haven't released a cart, have they? They were talking about how their method differs from AK2i etc. So, can we expect a CycloDSi to release in the coming days?

I've decided to take a video as proof for 1.4 in Australia. I can't say I've experienced the Facebook features and tested flashcarts or anything because I'd rather stay on 1.3 for now.

I don't think anyone was saying this was a hoax.
