You got some mr. krabs in your bikini bottom?I still do not see how you are mad at Nintendo for blocking third party, unlicensed add-ons. They blocked illegal flashcarts, and ONE actual peripheral (that refuses to pay Nintendo a licensing fee) that is sold in stores. All Datel has to do is license their product with Nintendo. They probably refuse to pay the licensing fee, so you no longer get to use it. Nintendo waited years before implementing this method. Most likely on purpose. A bit funny how it gets updated close to the release of Pokemon Black/White 2.
This is one of the many reasons I kept my DSLite (that and for GBA). This is just like how Playstation keeps on changing their passphrases for PSN so that the hackers do not get on with modded consoles. If you want to use Nintendo's services (which include firmware and OS updates) then you have to follow Nintendo's rules. It could not be any simpler. Next time, don't blindly update.
you know what mate, please don't reply to my posts any more, I will ignore you, I don't have time for bigots replying to me about mindless rubbish, replying to your posts will get nowhere, if you are so against piracy and lick Nintendo ass why are you at gbatemp? go back to gamefaqs or something, I have better things to do than waste my time with idiots like you.
this is my last post to you, please don't quote me or reply you will be ignored.

Either that or they might actually start buying games. The more of a hassle Nintendo makes it to be a pirate the less likely people are to actually bother with it.

No, this is the only thing you can guarantee won't happen. Pirates won't start buying DS games just so they can play them on a 3DS. They'll either stop buying 3DS games, they'll buy a second hand DS/DSlite/DSI/DSIXL or they'll buy a new flashcart.
There is no outcome where Nintendo will make more money.
So by blocking flashcarts, they will have a practically useless 3DS - a 3DS that only plays DS games. They'll eventually crack.So by blocking flashcarts, the pirates will stop using the eShop or buying new games. At least until they get hold of a new flashcart.
Glad I got my DSTwo. Sad that the latch broke so now my SD will shoot out of it unless I tape it in. But it's not so bad.

if you undo the screw you can take the spring out you know, then it will be just a push/pull slot
Although I disagree that Nintendo would make no money from blocking flashcarts, it's more because it can't be proven, rationale is not as good as numbers--
nevertheless, I think Nintendo is stupid for investing the effort into doing this and not doing anything about* providing DS titles in the eShop. If they want to block flashcarts and actually make a profit in doing so, they need to provide an alternative to people who WOULD pay for the ability to keep their games all-in-one. (However, I have DStwo and r4ids.cn carts, so I can still have pirated games, alongside games I still own physical copies of and dumped with my DS Lite for my own more-convenient use.)
*I realize there are a couple DSiWare titles that are duplicates of the DS games, but come on. A large number of those DS games are less than 128MBytes, they should at least start trickling AAA titles in. There are a few DS titles so good I'd buy them again just to load them from the Home screen instead of a flashcart.
So by blocking flashcarts, they will have a practically useless 3DS - a 3DS that only plays DS games. They'll eventually crack.
Can you explain such reasons? The only thing that comes to mind is Swapnote and the 3D Camera/Gallery. With Swapnote you'd still have to get from the eShop. 3DS games aside, otherwise DSi XL is superior.There are other reasons to buy a 3DS over a DSlite that aren't related to 3DS games at all.
Reasons like what?For a pirate who never buys any games then a 3DS only ever does play DS games. There are other reasons to buy a 3DS over a DSlite that aren't related to 3DS games at all.
Please explain what you meant by this? I'm confused."you cannot play 3DS games if you don't update"
Certain 3DS games require you to update the system. By not updating, you restrict yourself to only those games that work on your firmware version. Newer games may (and likely will) fail to boot and request an update, much like in the case of the Wii.Please explain what you meant by this?

I've just received my 3DS XL and it came with 4.1.0. Is there a way to update to 4.3.0 instead of 4.4.0? Thanks in advance for your help.Certain 3DS games require you to update the system.

To my understanding you do not need to update to 4.3.0 since they haven't introduced any really important features during these smaller updates.I've just received my 3DS XL and it came with 4.1.0.
