Well, if future games will demand that update, then I guess DSlite users are on the safeside, aren't they?

Agree. I have also this update available on my DSi 1.3E. Not done yet.
Waiting for the EZVi update before.

Another more constructive thing to say: never update anything before you get sure you won't get owned.
And yes, DS Lite users are safe since the firmware can't be software-only overwritten.

Won't be a major problem until games start shipping with a firmware update on them, or require a certain firmware to play online.

presumably the update will only come on DSi enabled games or dual function games like the UBISOFT carts. therefore you would have to use an original catridge anyhow, as these images dont boot on a DSi anyhow.

Or if you want to buy a DSiWare game. Which is impossible if you don't update.


Duh! I was talking about a forced update, i.e. you put the game cart in and like the Wii Discs they wont boot the Game until you perform the firmware update. the shoppiong channel just wont run until you manually upgrade the firmware.

am i right in thinking that the 1.4 might never be cracked? so no new carts ever again , all new DSi will have 1.4 and no way of downgrading back to 1.3? so people who got the DSi with 1.3 are the winners?

Effectively it's the same.

Do you want to play new DSi exclusive games? You need to update.

Well, ofcourse, you could stick with the old firmware and your DSi flashcard which only works in DS mode... Well, then you shouldn't have bought a DSi.

This was bound to happen, so no suprise there.
I'll just stick to my DS Lite, I'm not interested in the DSi at all.

when i wrote my post, i thought this post hasn't got a loophope......


but then again maybe the 1.3 is the only way to hack the DSi in to DSi mode.

If you're not interested in the DSi at all, why're you in this thread?

A "custom firmware" might work for the DSi but then it would end up like the PSP. And for those that have a un-updateable flashcard, you should've just waited instead of jumping head first into getting a flashcard for the DSi. Now you just wasted $15 on something you can't use on your DSi anymore. Unless you updated of course, if you didn't update it they'll probably make you do it anyway if you want to access the DSiShop or whatever its called.
