I'm interested to see how the iEvolution turns out on the 3DS... Is it our saving grace of a Flash Cart?

If so, I wouldn't be surprised.. Cyclo may very well be the first with their foot in the door this time around.

So I guess now we just play the waiting game...
well in the mean time you can stick with your older DS or you can buy used DS games from $5-$20 a piece. Just be patient.

Wait how does he use 1 microsd card for all his flashcards? Can 1 microsd card have multiple firmware's?

I do the same thing. If the firmwares don't use the same folder names there is no problem.

Ohh, kool. The only reason I was asking cuz when Nintendo does the next DSi Update (1.4.2) so I can use 1 microsd card to test out all 14 of my flashcards

Instead of 1 micro sd card per flashcard..

So if there were 3DS flashcarts will they be able to play games from different regions?
A quick look into my crystalball says "Yes, they can't".

Not really suprising news, now we all just wait and see how long it takes before also the 3DS gets hacked. My bet it's going to take less time than the DSi.

Part of me hopes it doesn't get hacked, and part of me hopes it does because of the crappy region locking.

Part of me hopes there would be an exploit or tool to just get rid of the region locking. It'd be good for us and Nintendo's wallet.

Wow. LESS time then the DSi?

I expect it to take a bit more time. Even with many efforts, it will take a while.

Indeed, since if i had a job and money, i wouldn't mind buying 3DS games that i want, but shelling out tons of money for a japanese system so i play games we won't get is crazy, Nintendo is annoying.

And what about 3DS roms?

Somebody has tried to see what a 3DS game contains?

The games are barely out, don't get ahead of yourself champ

Rom is short for read only memory and is actually referring to a physical object.
The "roms" on a computer are actually dumps of the content of the rom.

Maybe he just wants to see the inside of a 3DS cartridge.
There are already pictures of a 3DS being disassembled.

I know whats roms are lol

I seriously doubt he wanted to see inside a 3DS cartridge, especially since he already asked about roms.

In that case I have to agree that he's a little ahead of himself.

I'm not surprised. Oh well. When my 3DS gets here, I'll at least have Pokemon to keep myself occupied and maybe some stuff that comes out this year that I know I'm buying (Paper Mario
