Boycott Media Cart!

Leeching off homebrew authors

Yes, boycott Media Cart! The Media Cart is a new Nintendo DS flash kit straight from Taiwan. Why boycott? Simply because the folks behind the Media Cart have taken several homebrew authors applications, changed them around slightly, re-branded them and stuffed them straight into the Media Cart software package without even a hint of their origin. Homebrew such as DragonMinded's DSOrganize, Lick's Media Player, Moonlight's Moonshell and possibly more have been "incorporated" into the package.

We urge all of you to avoid the product completely and we hope that no import stores begin carrying this abomination of a product.

Cool

It doesn't even play ROMs anyway. Pathetic cart. All the other flashcards beat this one hands down, and I'm sure many people won't buy it.

 

[bobrules]

Nobody's going to buy it because it sucks.

Exactly. I wouldn't accept it even if I got it for free, TBH. It's stealing other developers work and selling it for money.

You make no sense brutalboy. If you got it for free they would not make any money at all...

*totally ignores the "product" *

 

[thegame07]

They should be giving the homebrew devs a cut of the money.

OBJECTION - What I meant was it's such a failure no one wants it.

SUSTAINED - His point is completely valid.

This does suck, but none of us were going to buy it or recommend it to anyone before we knew this.

 

[rhyguy]

lol, it looks suckyXD

Buuh Media Cart!
Hehe i hope they supply me with a sample so i can destroy it on YouTube rigth after the review >:]

 

[Takrin]

Lol i should repack a R4 and slap a new sticker on it, call it the "thingamajigar 9000" include some homebrew and sell it for $200

oh btw i'm sure some idiots bought it saying "whoa dude it has a NES emulator!"

 

[superrob]

Yea... lol that means that you pay the price only for the NES emulator and nothing more

 

[chrishull]

I quite like the media player frontend as this would be good for my kids for movies and mp3 but thats about it. would not buy it or recomend it to anyone as I use Dsorganise all the time.

 

[.TakaM]

weird how they don't allow DS games, but allow NES roms etc..

I'd bet they're just too lazy to commit to updating the firmware when a new rom is dumped that it can't run.

 

[superrob]

The MediaCart website is down... hmm?

POP QUIZ!

Q: Name one flashcart that DOES NOT have rabid fanboys?

 

[xabier]

It's a grat idea, homebrew and media cart only for ds, not playing comercial roms isn't that bad, the bad thing about this cart is that it's a ripoff for homebrewers, anyway if authours were recognised and source available it would be a nice card to buy.

 

[Harsky]

Forgetting about the "OMG STOLEN CODEZ" I honestly can't see anyone buying this at all.

Has homebrew function... but does not play roms

Or you can get the R4/M3/other carts which does the homebrew function AND play roms.

Hopefully people will be smart to realise that and yeah, I'm not surprised that China is doing this.
