Pretty sure it's just bug fixes, facebook uploading support and a slightly faster version of the browser. Nothing to get too excited about...the DSi's camera is mostly useless anyway, I find. Not to hard to find this info if you just looked for a bit.

Oh well, I just moved my Opera channel, and DSiware shop channel far out of the way in case I accidently clicked them by mistake. I guess I should be OK assuming I don't manually select an update or receive one via a future DS game cart?

This kinda stuff always makes me nervous, because all of a sudden I have this button I shouldn't press that is on my DS. I guess it's the price I have to pay to use flashcarts. I just know there will be some really awesome DSiware that gets released later on and makes me wish I had updated.

well this was bound to happen good think i haven't bought a dsi yet.
and even if the dsi flash carts get un blocked and nintendo makes mandatory updated you can simpily delete your wifi settings then there is no such thing as a mandatory update.

Mostly true. However, it could end up much like the PSP, in which games required a specific version of the XMB to run. So if you actually want to PLAY certain games, you had no choice in the matter. And while DS Lite users will have no problem with this, given there is no mechanism to update, DSi users could very much have an issue. There's nothing to stop a regular DS cart from querying if it is running on a DS Phat/Lite or a DSi, and forcing a mandatory update to play the game if on a DSi. It doesn't solve all the piracy problems, but it certainly puts a dent in it with DSi owners.

Of course, by doing what they have done, there may be a way to load on custom firmware on the DSi itself, as others have speculated. One must wonder, though, if they have learned lessons from Sony, and possibly sealed up potential avenues to deliver said custom firmware.

The DSi is an enigma right now. It has the potential to be worse than the DS Lite, but also has the potential to be better, if a PSP-like solution comes to fruition. But I can't predict that, nor will I try.

When you go into the channels it will bring you to the settings after which it will ask if it's okay to connect to the Internet and stuff, so it's not like just entering will automatically start the updating process. Unless you're not thinking at all, accidentally going into the channel and getting redirected to the settings and finally accepting the update, nothing will happen.

dont worry you can still use the browser cuz it doesnt require you to update.

To be honest, I laughed at a friend of mine today. He bought a AK2i and a DSi (at launch) and rubbed it in my face the day he got them; said he can play KH now, etc.

Sucks for him, now.

Though, genuinely sad for others that have it. Could always just use it on a older DS.

blink.gif


but the thread about your Digital rights being taken away and possibly being CHARGED to download ANYTHING and the government grasping more towards the "ultimate goal" (which is communism) ..

only got 1,000 views!?

....

sick...

why don't we make our voice heard there instead of constantly refreashing the thread page here waiting for the next griper and response to this "inconvience"
sleep.gif


because if we don't watch our back on "them"...we might not be able to download ANY ROMS AT ALL!!
ohmy.gif
and this site will be considered "illegal!"
