It's quite normal for flashcarts that skip the health screen and DS menu. very simple for Nintendo to block this.
For the EZ5 it's not the end of the world because the team can update the boostrap on this flashcart.

If there is a whitelist it is the weak spot in the protection of the DSi.

Actually, I'm thinking that would be a strong point of protection.....Because DSi will be booting only, and only games that are "registered" there..

But this would be a bit simple to do a trick with it. You only have to modify the flashcart as if it were an "old" DS game and the dsi would probably boot it without problems. I don't think the only problem is about the headers that are able to boot.
I think the system of the dsi has something more sophisticated to identify flashcarts.

ahh...now we see the TRUE purpose of this DSi....its just a cop out to stop flashcards...just as my inside Nintendo Intel said so...

"to Greatly Reduce Piracy"



DON'T BUY THIS MOTHER ***KER!..DON'T LET NINTENDO WIN!

The following carts, along with the R4 DS and EZ V DO NOT WORK ON THE DSi

CycloDS - Failed
G6 DS Real - Failed
M3 DS Real - Failed
Supercard DS One - Failed
iTouch DS - Failed
FCard - Failed
NCard - Failed
M3 DS Simply - Failed
U2DS - Failed

There are also LIVE (mandatory?) updates to the DSi firmware when you enter the Shop or Settings menu, much like the Wii.

The d-pad and buttons are not clicky (which I had hoped!) they are just like the DS Lite buttons, but are improved a little (hopefully better diagonals).

So Flash Cards don't work.

Is it true about it blocks US/EU Official DS games?

[Destructobot]

No. Only DSiWare (the software you download from the online shop) is region locked.

only official dsi games, ds games remain region free!

edit: destructobot beat me to it.

LIVE sounds more like you simply get the update (and the update is performed) while you can browse the shop / settings menu. Wouldn't expect that though (would expect a big message 'don't turn off, updating' while you can't do a thing). Thing is of course without internet connection no update via settings menu . But why haven't any of the slot-2 card been tested (with passme2/nopass)? Have they kept the bios/firmware chip the same btw?

Because there's NO slot-2?

[Awdofgum]

I'm curious to see if the  Acekard 2 fails or not.

The dsi doesnt have slot 2.

[Toni Plutonij]

Yeah, I was just about to write that!!

Only passcard can be tested, and that's only if it has splash screen!

[teonintyfive]

I'd laugh like fuck if they tried the DS-X and it worked.

[kedest]

Interesting. I always thought a flashcard was a perfect imitation of a real game, so the DS - even a new model - could never tell the difference.

[Toni Plutonij]

In that case, I think p1ngpong would be on the top of the World!!

And, it's not that impossible that DS-X would work! It might just happen..
