The guy in the store where I bought it said it will brick if it detected flashcarts and you'll have to pay 150 bucks to get it fixed. I don't think he really knows what he was talking about, but still...
He doesn't know what he's talking about at all.Arras said:The guy in the store where I bought it said it will brick if it detected flashcarts and you'll have to pay 150 bucks to get it fixed. I don't think he really knows what he was talking about, but still...

Anybody else notice that this update uses the old "may" terminology?nikola987 said:

Sony has did it with thousands of psp units, what's protecting song from law suits? I really want to know what are your view on this! Why cant Nintendo brick your device and charge you a sum to get it fixed? You can do that with the psp, it just cost you more because you have voided their warranty.

In France, the use of flashcards is legal. (Nintendo lost their lawsuit against flashcartds dealers last year)
This means Nintendo can't limit the use of the 3DS in France by bricking it or blocking the access to the online features just because people used flashcarts. If they want to brick/block/ limit the use of your 3DS because you violated the copyright, they have to prove that roms were booted on the flashcard, then that the booted rom is an illegal one because you do not own the original game. And that will be quite diffucult to prove without paying a visit () to every flashcart user: "Hey, I'm Regis Fils-Aimee, And I'm about kicking your ass cause you used a flashcart!"
So any attempt of Nintendo to brick/block/limit the use of your 3DS in France is totally illegal.
I think French flashcarts users are pretty lucky.

here is the deal
as i told on the 3ds faq or something thread i used my flashcard(r4igold.cc) this one on my 3ds on the spot when i first opened my 3ds
then i just updated
the update was successful and i still could use my flashcard on it
so for the problem of the activity log
this is what i can report to you
as many ppl said you can delete the log of the game you used from the software library but not the daily records.
so i just have to report to you that i deleted my daily records by formating the system
also the update that i did before stayed on my system meaning i am still on ver. 1.1.0-1E
so cheers.
Actually, they can't legally brick the 3DS. you bought that 3DS, it's yours, Nintendo doesn't own your 3DS but they do own the 3DS product in general, thus they can't brick it legally.Goofy Time said:Croaker said:Hum...

Legally, French users can use flash cards. Legally, Nintendo can disable whatever they want on their own system unless it's something they advertised. Considering flashcards are unofficial devices, they have legal rights to limit their use, if they choose to. It's not like what Sony did with removing OtherOS, something they offered to consumers.
What I say to people here is just use your DS cards on your DS. This way, you don't even have to care for the scare tactics and you won't complain if/when Nintendo figures out a way to prevent them from running on 3DS. Unless of course, you have no DS..
As ridiculous as the rumors are, your post puts nothing to rest.vandawn said:ok so to /block every rumour possibly going around
