DSTT team, you better fix your servers. Here we go again with the 1KB/s dilemma.

The hydra analogy is perfect for this situation. It's just inevitable. This situation is like "DS-X death meets Resident Evil zombie invasion". One flash cart's dead, infects other flash carts and all of it will die. But it is going to be stopped by something.

I think a new handheld system that's WAY better than the Lite will stop this.

And there I was thinking of trading in my Lite for SSBB. I'm keeping it and I'll rely on my only child, DSTT...

One more thing, should the flash carts cease production, does this mean an end for GBATemp quizzes where you get flash carts as rewards"?

I think Nintendo is losing money because they try to sell crappy games and alot of it. I mean theres a game called Catz,Dogz, and all those other animal games. Why not just make one game with every animal in it? Seriously, they waste time making crappy games when they should make all those good games people will buy. Even though i dont think alot will buy them because theres always those ignorant people who brags about having no ds games. But there are always those fanboys who would buy them. Another thing is they sell their crappy games extremely high. I mean a 16MB game is $39 or something like that. So people would rather download it than buy it.

Anyways im not worried at all because piracy has been around for a long time. The worst thing might happen is a drought and then a few months later, everything will be back to the way it was.

They could just charge based on cart size.

256MB- $39
128MB- $34
64MB- $29
32MB- $24
16MB- $19
8MB- $14

They should but they dont. All new games would cost $29 +. And they expect people to buy them.

Yes it is all coming to an end. Nintendo will send suicide bombers to blow up all flash card manufacturing plants. They will capture and execute Team R4, Team Cyclops, Team Acekard, all the other flash card teams and the ROM dumping groups. Then they will hire professional assassins to murder everyone who owns a flash card, including all of us.
... that would be scary ...

Oh no! I need to get a cart fast!!!! Is the Supercard DS-One any good?
yes it is good so if the DSTT is down you can use the SuperCard to load the firmware ...

That's is soo true !! They should bring back all the games and put them in one DS Cartridge like what they did with FF I and II for GBA !! or nintendo should start creating cartridges with higher capacity !



Nintendo ... i thought you were awesome ... now everytime i see Nintendo ... i think of people ... people that can't make good enough games or can't afford better items ....

agreed ... that would make more sense , only reason why most people buy flashcarts are because they can't afford all those games

and add 384MB as $44 for people that want like all 3 Pokemons ( as an example : Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire ? ) Like that for an expample .

Would improve your list to be more like this :

400MB- $49
384MB- $44
256MB- $39
128MB- $34
64MB- $29
32MB- $24
16MB- $19
8MB- $14


that way Nintendo can have more games in one Cartridge !!

Out of the game companies participating in the lawsuit an interesting fact is Square Enix has already implemented anti-piracy measures against the R4 in their latest game Drgaon Quest 5: Hand of the Heavenly Bride. Pirated copies of this game do not work properly when used with the R4.

Since when does the mbit size of a game have any bearing on the cost...and why should it? You could easily pad or add crap stuff to the game to make it bigger. You are forgetting that games are sold as GAMES, not by the byte. I think you are more looking at the "length" of a game (hours of gameplay). If that was the case though, most 360 games should only cost $10.

Seriously...some of your viewpoints are insane. You buy flashcarts because you can't afford all the games? Did it ever occur to you you don't NEED every game? Just sayin... piracy isn't a right. It's a skill.

 

[Splych]

superdude ~ right now im just wondering which 5 flashcarts are being sued ..

Impuls ~ that would make sense , and we musnt forget that they can be making the game a larger size by adding a longer ending where they show the credits O_O

 

[DrKupo]

Christ guys. It's another raid, another batch of busts. Chill out!

 

[NeSchn]

Well I have a Cyclo DS and an M3 DS Real now. So I am good. Even though I am planning on selling the Real after I am done with the review. My Cyclo has never shit out on my so far, but I always like to have a back up.

Everyone's panicking too much. Seriously, the world isn't going to blow up but looking at this in an intellegent perspective I would seriously have to say the below quote from one of the news quotes in the original post is VERY TRUE:

now might be a good time to score the requisite hardware -- we might be facing a scarcity before too long.

People saying nothing will change are clueless as are the people saying it's all over. What simply will happen is that nintendo will seize as much of all the carts they can and ban as much selling of it as they can. Big deal...they'll just get back on their feet after awhile and just make the carts again and find a new way to market them.

What will really happen though is that through the publicity these lawsuites are getting, people who have no idea what an R4 is will then have it their dream to own a flash cart and with the seized carts and the sudden increase in demand they will be really hard to find for a short while and their price, just like oil, will skyrocket. What a smart person that owns one of these online stores like RealHotStuff or OzModChips might like to do is invest in buying like 500-1000 cyclos or something and when they hit their skyrocketed price due to demand they can sell them all off and make triple what they bought them for. That's a lot of money for selling pieces of plastic.

You guys have to think realistically. Nothing big will happen like the world exploding. It will just increase in price and scarcity for a while then go back to everything being normal that is, IF the lawsuits are successful.

, take another country like Germany or Australia or someone else, but not us!
