I've noticed that none of the DSi flash cart official sites (at least, not the ones I've visited so far) have any downloads for firmware updates that will circumvent Nintendo's version 1.4 update for the DSi. The updates are hosted at mediafire.com and filefactory.com--anywhere but the official flash cart sites.
I also noticed that after patching the flash cart hardware to "defeat" the 1.4 update, the cart spoofs a legitimate game, like Danny Phantom: Urban Jungle.
Could it be that the flash cart manufacturers haven't announced the 1.4 workarounds or hosted the relevant files because those files are illegal? Maybe the 1.4 workarounds incorporate copyrighted code?
I'm just curious about this from a technical perspective. Also, I figure the flash cart manufacturer that can keep things legit for the longest (while still defeating Nintendo's anti-piracy measures) will be the last manufacturer that the Big N aims their big guns at.
