DSi firmware 1.4 blocks flashcards!

[jackdanielchan]

Team Acekard are adressing the issue, I'm not sure if they're going to release a boot loader...

 

[markvn]

and the Team of EZ flash?

I don't think they can force an update since not everyone has wi-fi.

Yea, its called "Through the Game" patches, kind of like what they did with Brawl and Sonic games. Pretty much, DSi owners can still be screwed over because the future games could have a forced patch, and we wouldn't really know about it.

Anyways, good job Nintendo. Now we can see what the flashcart makers are really made of. I wonder if fixing this issue will also fix Moonshell 2.5 on the SC... But hey, at least we can all try out our card writers now!

Also, the way AK2i updates, it seems to corruptible to the card to be able to work right, but I won't know till I hassle a friend to borrow his to check it out.

The first thing I think of is "iPhone Dev Team vs. Apple"

i can't wait for flipnote studio, but this update ruins it. lol. oh well

 

[CrimsonFist]

Europe has not got flipnote studio today.

i was wondering... in order for them to improve the camera resolution, would they have to release a new version of dsi's or could they do it via a future update?

Geez. No, it's not possible to upgrade the hardware with software, and nor will it ever be.

In some circumstances a software update can improve the hardware's possibilities (ie: SDHC support, unlocking higher CPU frequencies like on Sony's PSP, FPGA reprogramming, etc...). Drivers optimizations, software interpolation of images and so on are examples of software-based improvements of a given device.

That may very well be so, but it's utterly impossible to increase the pixel count on an image sensor with a software update. Regardless, the former software 'enhancements' aren't actually changing the inherent spec, but just unlocking untapped potential which already existed in the hardware. But this was never intended to be an argument in the first place, so let's leave it at that.

I don't get it why everyone of you is so afraid of "forced updates" with DSi exclusive or enhanced games?! I mean, when you play DSi enhanced games with a flash card it's running in DS mode, so it doesn't even know it's running on a DSi!

 

[lincruste]

Yes, but when you play DSi enhanced games with a commercial cart, those "forced updates" might be a problem, wouldn't they?

 

[sphinx.djc]

Silly Nintendo! The best thing they did was give me the option to download updates for the DSi which I have NEVER done since I got it from day 1

I paid good money for my AceKard2i which works wonderfully, and what in God's name were they thinking by adding a feature to use Facebook!? I am proud to say I don't have a Facebook account, and if I did, I doubt I'd be using my DSi to access it

 

[zeromac]

i cant believe everyone here is just discussing how there flashcart companies are gonna fix it..just wait and dont get the thread up to 16 pages, i mean if the companies get a fix out then they do, if they dont then well it sucks for all you pirates (hippocrite xD)

So you don't have any real DSi games either.

Why did you get a DSi in the first place?

 

[monkeym42]

FUCK!

I need to call everyone i sold an acekard 2i now......

hehe that i why i only sell dsl ones not dsi

 

[Marlonguppy]

DSi Browser was also updated (in the DSiWare) and i updated my DSi to 1.4E

and my AceKard is now finally disabled

 

[CannonFoddr]

I'm not really into DSiware (especially since you can't 'move' the points between Wii & DSi shop) & rather play games - so I'll not be going onto the internet any time soon & get 'upgraded'.
But I MAY still need to buy a new card anyway - My main card a DSTTi, which I guess isn't 'upgradable' - the only problem is I don't really LIKE the menu etc of the newer cards (Itouch2 / DSonei /EZFlashVi)

 

[nonnonnon]

@elfsander.

i know you did'nt ask me, but i answaring anyway.

i buyed a dsi because it has lagrer and better screens, it is more powerfull, it has dsi shop, it has two cameras for funnier gaming and my dsl was broke. on the top of that i got it for ca 130 $ wich means around 10$ more than a dsl

Finally a sensible response. All these ppl with DSi's and flashcarts so they can play pirated DS/DSlite games with it, all boasting they won't update claiming they don't need or want any DSi functions and/or DSiware anyway...

Also, in response to a post earlier in this thread about how stores can't sell their stock of DSi flashcarts anymore: they can still be sold, since they'll still work on DS/DSlite.

I agree on that one, the menu's/kernels on the new flashcards all suxs, the get to complicated and user unfriendly.

Why would i choose CycloDS Evo / Edge / DSTT / R4?
- Simple user friendly menu's
- No 6 handlings to enable cheats or igr or other stuff
- No 20 menu options, where 15 are never used

Just out of interest as I didn't update yet.... what is new on the EU DSi ware this week ? As of late its been a pile of poo+. Those "little bit of...." games are an insult to those who buy games.... I can see why they sell them but Sudoku and A little bit of games is all that's been new for the last month at least.. There are lots of new stuff that is available in the US that hasn't even reached the EU yet... why not diversify...so anyway, what did I miss this time round ?
