Hacking Don't do the update firmware 1.4 on DSi

[indask8]

Looks good, but not finished...

As I see a retail game icon...

I don't think something can be done on this.

Me too. Pause it at 1.33. I can't make out the name of the game.

 

[indask8]

I think it's the game they always used:

"Tak - The Great Juju Challenge".

Edit: Yes this is it... stopped at the right time...

"Tak
The Great Juju Challenge
THQ".

So they're spoofing a retail cart. I smell a lawsuit.

That's what I fear...

I think the only "almost legal" way to distribute this...

Is to ask people to dump the exploited game...

Then use a little .exe that will put the data on the firmware file, then flash it on their own...

I'm not sure what Nintendo has done is entirely legal either though regarding the cart check. From what I understand your not allowed to place a piece of spyware on any system in certain countries. I think the cart check is a form of spyware myself

Incredible, I have a EZ Flash Vi and a DSi with firmware 1.3E, but I really wanna upgrade the firmware of my DSi and the bootloader of EZ Flash Vi.
Mbmax said in the EZ Flash Forums that this update will come out next week, so only some days waiting left.

Hands down on the EZ Flash Team. Though, I would like to think how Nintendo will block this if the flashcart makers are using retail games. I also like to wonder how the flashcart makers edit retail games and customized it to their own logo and name.

It's not new that DSi flashcarts use a CRC faked game to be able to start.

Why do you think now it's different ? Because of an icon and text ?

It's just a little more obvious than it was before. That's all.

 

[stanleyopar2000]

common AceKard team......do the same thing..

EXCEPT BETTER!

(and not a new card either like R4 = /

 

[ConJ]

Nice work EZTeam

Now, waiting for an Acekard update.

 

[ilovengage]

After now it's more than sure that updatable cards can bypass the new 1.4 blocking I hope the SuperCard and M3 team will release an update next week, too

Hmmm.. I don't know much about flashcarts (or roms either), so, why can they not alter the icon and title? Is some kind of checksum (or whatever) applied to the game to determine whether it is hacked or not??

"pwned

" - p1ngpong

i hope other teams find a more reasonable solution

I think that that's just their demo -- they were probably still hacking around and getting it working right when they made that video. I assume that the release version will be prettied up and less obvious and all.

 

[NakedFaerie]

The movie is probably just a prototype of the firmware release.
I doubt they will release the new firmware with that icon. They probably will change it to the EZ5i icon just before it gets released.

 

[elixirdream]

happy to hear that

at least with EZVi & another DS, we don't need to buy a new flash cart

*cough cough* *cough r4i gold cough*
