Anti piracy is hardly new even for DS games (they had it back when the R4 was new and the best and even before that). And the best I've seen was probably for Mario & Luigi 3. Dark day/week/month for the temp when that came out. Anyways, if that's the only check they put in the game, even Chrono Trigger had better protection, having freeze-ups and hangs throughout various parts of the game. I'm thinking SE might finally realize they can't do much to stop piracy for long and just threw in the towel. With people like INF, what hope do they have?

And if you're worried about it being a virus bricker, just open the rom in no$gba and check on your PC. If it's the bricker rom, it will be a hentai slideshow and you'll know NOT to run it on your DS. If it boots up DQ9, then you can probably be safe in putting it on your DS. Simple as that.

The game isn't even out in Japan yet. If anyone DOES do an English patch (why? it's almost certainly coming out in English anyway) it'll take more than the few hours since this was leaked to get it done...

Well, anti piracy protection in DS games is fairly new so yeah, most of them can easily be cracked within days after the release, or they find a cheat to circumvent it without the need to patch the rom. But as the years go by, the protection will become harder to crack. I wouldn't be surprised if they even resort to DS bricking anti piracy protections.

But it was to be expected that people would make a DS bricking virus disguised as a game that has yet to be released, so if I find a torrent of the English version of this game posted before the actual US release date, it's most likely a virus.

This would be illegal and would be grounds for a lawsuit. At least in my country.

True that. Even here you can sue them for doing that.

@granville: I reckon INF is a famous hacker that cracks any protection with ease, right?

the patches may have fixed the crashing problem for r4 and other cart owners but as far as emulators go, this game is still crashing for everybody on every other thread. neither of the patches released will get the game working on an emulator without crashing during the opening scene so please be patient.
