You need the source code to port it to a different conole. Also all the examples you said were games with built in emulators, something i dont think the dsi can do (emualare gba games).The Prince of Codes said:Maikel Steneker said:Certainly not. The DSi lacks the hardware needed to play GBA-roms.The Prince of Codes said:Since the DSi lacks slot 2 perhaps there may be a way to port .gba files to .nds files so you can play gba games in DS mode through the flashcart.
You need to listen. I'm not talking about loading a GBA rom like a normal DS rom or an emulator, I'm talking about a full conversion of a .gba format file to an .nds file. Nintendo ports their games to other systems often(Remember Zelda, Zelda II, OOT, and MM on the Collectors edition and Super Marion 64, plus mant others), their method shouldn't be impossible to recreate.
Just to say, those cameras are nowhere near mediocre....they are way below......It'll be good enough for DSi screens, and nothing else! (just as early mobile phones with 0.3 and 1.3 mp cameras)..Diosoth said:Nintendo will just stick necessary firmware updates directly on the games as they do with Wii updates, as they know not everyone will be able to access the wi-fi connection.
But I am surprised they have the thing ready this fast.
I own't be getting a DSi unless some really good system-specific games are released. I have a Lite with Acekard 2.1, I don't need a mediocre camera and a screen that's only 12% larger.

You have to be joking. The DS needs the GBA hardware to run. Thus it is able to play GBA roms.
As for my opinion, I'm just wondering when they'll make an Acekard RPGi...
Why would you want GBA support?
If you want GBA support get a GB Micro or something similar.
It's not about "fixing" it in the US DSi, when they find a way that flashcart works, they'll simply update the firmware and block it..k4sHmuNn1 said:great, now nintendo will discover this and fix it in the US Dsi.

Go back and read some of Narins posts, he knows a bit more about this then us!
Some I speculated and some I haven't, though I have contacted the AceKard team to learn the facts behind it. Though if the AceKard 2i does indeed contain flashable hardware, it would be possible to update the loader in the case Nintendo does find a fix for it. Also AceKard is an excellant team and I'm sure they put a lot of research and work in hacking the DSi, just remember, Nintendo is no push over and they will fight back tooth and nail. So its just a matter of time until we see Nintendo step up to flashcards on the DSi.dib said:Not really, he's speculating the same as everybody else. There's not much to go on yet because it's too early.
This was in the front page. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=119886SoulAnger said:I'm surprised that this havent reached the front page yet.
Narin said:Well, that doesn't really matter since the Nintendo DSi had an updatable firmware now which Nintendo can update over WiFi and DSi games. Meaning that even if a flashcart was made to work on a DSi, an update could be made to stop the flashcart from working anymore.
