New DSi Anti-Piracy Malicious Code?

[fgghjjkll]

So what if elixirdream is using 1.7?
Basically no difference since Normmatt has not found this "AP" so obviously it could not have stopped eli's ak2i from getting bricked.

Even if it was real, how can we be sure that user testimonies are real? We have to recreate the problem and see for ourselves.

If they were clever about it, they would brick carts randomly with the chance of it happening being very low. If it just bricked all cart a set intervals, i'm guessing it would be easier to circumvent and be picked up by cracking teams before it got released.

As it stands, it's more of a rumour. Want they want to do is strike fear into the hearts of n00bs, a rumour is all it could take...

if this is true, it only happens on the AK2i, right? the AK2 is safe from this problem?

Well you can't update the firmware, so it should be.

On the other hand like the Acekard 2i it's firmware is installed on a 2MB flash chip, it's possible there may be a way to write to the chip. The 2.1 has an extra capacitor on the PCB, I don't know if that disables the writing.

ok so if it messes acekard 1st most ak users use akaio and 2nd isn't eos basted off of akaio so it wold a fect the scds2

(also i just tried it on my acekard and on the scds2nothing wrong)

 

[joshbean39]

This is completely false information. Supercard apparently want some free publicity for their SCDS2.

agreed i have both ak and scds2 nothing happend

Which one should be accused? This story should be investigated for the truth.

It's hard to believed for me that AKAIO allowed ROM code to touch on AK2i's firmware area, homebrew is another story.


EDIT:

I have smelled something fishy from source of this topic , "Godslash: This topic is just take precautions before it is too late, it has no effect on DSONE/DSONEi/DSTWO at this moment?DSTWO is very safe, it writes datas to FLASH with its CPU, not DS." ... look like some kind of promotion.

well maybe the mod on sc team forums heard about it from somewhere else and wanted to make sure no one destroyed their cart, i dont think their intention was to say hey our carts are better, i really think they are just looking out for people so that they dont have to spend $10+ again for a new cart

You make that very obvious.

Please don't double post and I have NO idea whatsoever what your post before this one said.

I don't think this is true at all as my Acekard is working perfectly fine.

This is most likely not the case considering the bragged about how the SCDS2 is safer than other cards at the end of his post...in an edit.

They have a right to do stuff like this. We're the guys stealing from them. If you're a pirate, it's your job to watch out for this stuff.

No, actually, they don't. They can not legally write a trojan any more than anyone else can. If I don't like what you do, even if it is illegal, it doesn't not give me license to perpetrate crime against you (self defense is not a crime, smart guys).

But if someone tried to sue them for it, there's a chance they'd incriminate themselves for using a 'pirated' game.

All they have to do set it so there's a 1% of it happening a certain point in the game. They could pass that off as 'the user using their game in a manner in which it wasn't intended'. Because it would happen infrequently, it would be hard to get it to court as malicous intent, but it would be enough to stop people pirating it.

also we didnt give them permission(agree) to do that unlike dsi updates you have to agree

Well this will affect the flashcart and not the DSi itself. Plus, this would only happen if you pirate the game, thus Nintendo is not responsible for any shit happening to your flashcart which Nintendo is trying to get rid of.

The girls are witches, I swear. But they are nothing in front of the SUPERcard.

I don't care, the game isn't even out yet. Haven't you seen the front page?
