acekard was the first to go public with the exploit, but not the first flash kit company to hack it. you had to have seen this coming. nintendo just used the japanese dsi as a target for all the hackers to attack. now they know all the exploits and unpaid hackers did all the work for them.

even if they do, to what ends? it will run ds stuff sure but not dsi. i don't see the dsi features and the lookup signature table being hacked anytime soon. i really don't see the point. if i get a dsi it will be for what the dsi can do, and not for the slim change that one day i'll be playing a better build of scummvmds on it.

i read somewhere that nintendo stopped replacing the broken hinges. but that 1800 number is free, so it's worth the call to find out. i honestly think my next system (very shortly) will be a psp2000. i've wanted to hack it and play my psx gams on it for sometime.

i'd get a dsi when it's hacked or the dsi specific games look THAT sweet. it isn't very often that i'm that impressed with a nds game as it is. but you never know...

what! Thats lame i just sold my lite so I could aim toward a DSi... T_T now i might be flashcardless for a long time

 

What Nintendo stopped replacing broken hinges!?

Not cool... xP

 

I knew this was going to happen so I got a real copy of GTA CW for this very point!

That baby should keep me going until new flashcards hit the market.

Cant wait to get my DSi next Thursday!

 

That's why I told people to WAIT until the DSi was released elsewhere and early reports came in.

 

Possible, but not likely. It is more possible they fixed a hardware based flaw that was letting most i flashcarts work (and even more possible they just updated some software to check for things that the new cards do/have that retail games don't.) It could well be possible that the situation is similar to the new wii's that are coming to market, where the initial boot code which isn't touched once the unit is manufactured needs to be updated to block new soft hacks.

Wonder if anyone has tried that R4 or DSTT clone (or whatever it was) on the new models, the card that used a full game dump to try and appear as real as possible to the DSi.

Seems to me they have staggered the releases for just this reason though (to block new flashcarts and clear the retail channel of as many xmas DSLite sales as they could.) I for one am not worried about DSi in the least (don't want one, no gba slot) - but I do believe enough is known about how DS cards work that DS mode will remain relatively open no matter what changes they make short of scrapping the DS model entirely in favor of new security and new/unknown delivery methods.

 

I wouldn't say fools. For all one would know, their main purpose was just to grab money while they can. And I'm quite sure they got a few of us in this thread, :]
