Confirmed: the Nintendo 3DS blocks DS flashcarts

[Elvarg]

Flash-cart Firmware updates for compatibility on the 3DS? daym maybe in a few years.

 

[Astoria]

Well i just ask for inside the cartdriges. The content of the games, the files...

 

[chrisrlink]

thank you captian obvious i KNEW that they would fail nintendo ain't stupid ya know but given time i bet nintendo would be pwn'd once again wait and see......im stuck on limbo on getting either a 360 or 3ds...decisions desicions

I'm disappointed, but I can't say I'm surprised. It would be great if a simple firmware update on current carts would correct this issue. I imagine this won't be the case. Maybe by the time the 3ds comes out in NA a working flashcart will be available. Preferrably, I would like to see a flashcart that will allow 3d homebrew apps. However, since it took quite a while to unlock dsi mode I imagine it will be a while before we see flashcarts such as this.

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.

I don't own a DS anymore.

Or just buy the game legit and not deal with waiting for a hack.

Well, for me they are developing right now the card, so we could wait, there is no way of stoping us.

The SC team said it would be possible to get the DStwo to function (after an update) due to the CPU. Although if Nintendo's using some sort of way to detect the FPGA, then it's impossible.

We needed new carts for the DSi, which was more or less a redesign of the DS Lite/Phat with a couple changes. Was anyone expecting our current carts to work with an entirely new system?
And correct me if I'm wrong, but even if firmware updates could somehow allow the play of NDS games via current flashcarts in the 3DS, wouldn't we need new cards for 3DS roms due to the hardware changes? It's not like we can put DS roms on a GBA cart and play them, even if it's inserted in a DS system.

So many people on GBATemp don't want a 3ds flash card! Flash cards havent killed a nintendo systtem to date; the shovelware mountain that came with the dsi is often linked to flashcards but the ds has been loaded with crap from day one.

Correction. So many people on GBATemp SAY they don't want a 3DS flashcart, they think it makes them look better.

 

[fairuza]

within 30 days of the usa 3ds release at least one ds/i flashcard will work on the 3ds (for ds games, not 3ds). count on it.

Actually, Eggman is right.

They said this a while back, I don't remember where, though.

This. Someone try it out please

I'm not going to start an argument but it's pretty obvious to see who is trying to look "good" when they say they don't want a 3DS flascart.

My question might be pretty silly, but... I'm just curious. How did these guys manage to get a 3DS even before the release in Japan?!? Today is the 26th in Singapore but this was posted yesterday!! You mean HK already sells it?

Anyway, an update for modern carts to work on the 3DS to work in DS/DSi mode is possible IMO, if the companies get their hands on a 3DS, that is. They must also test their new firmware on the DS/DSi to prove that it is functioning properly.
