Wow. I'm not sure how DX can deny that the gold dots are fake now. It shows it right on the ndstt site. Has anyone pointed this out to DX? People are going to be upset if firmware updates fry their microSD cards!
I have a feeling that if DSTT really does implement the "fake-killer" into their firmware, it is going to backfire. People will think they have an official one and the word will get around that the DSTT kills your microSD card and will instead just buy other carts.
I also find it a little ironic that they spent all this effort to write a program that would destroy fakes, but their firmware still can't do an alphabetic sort of ROMs!

Just in case anyone wants to watch the vid but get's crap speeds here's another link :

watched it and it shows them nuking fake cards with whatever they plan to add to the new loader
its crappy that they have to resort to killing off cards to those unknowingly buying the fakes!
some will inadvertently NUKE their cards in the rush to update to the latest kernel ....
and will put paid also to using YSMENU as it uses the hacked TTDS loader
no doubt someone will find a way to bypass it until the TTDS team re writes it again!

I noticed they didn't show them taking the MicroSD cards out of the real versions and then trying them in the fakes. I'm wondering if it's just corrupting the card or if it's actually nuking the TT itself. It gives different nuke results on a couple of the carts, on some it freezes at the loading pic and on some it get's past to just dual white screens.

yeah noted that and the 3rd card found to be fake did not seem to nuke like other the ones that did the micro sd logo on boot up looked corrupted it looks like its possibly just corrupting the mem cards ....
I also wonder if someone would take legal action against TTDS team for writing memory destructive software!
yeah its a long shot but if it breaks your mem card more so if its a large sdhc that cost you a fair bit of your cash or ds then they are as bad as virii writers themselves!
like I said if you unknowingly bought a fake then why should you suffer or be out of pocket ... not all company's will pay reverse shipping charges to replace them .. and no doubt it will cost more than the FREE SHIPPING you got it for!

R4 until recently was not a really cheap card!

And people seem to be at a loss as to why DX lowered their prices. Surely it's obvious now. With all the emails they've been sent, if they didn't already realise they were getting fake cards then they must have by now. Now they're just trying to sell them as fast as they can before people catch on to it.
The newest DSTTs, which have the lowest prices ever ($12), have the new packaging and are real as far as anyone knows. So that would refute that particular theory about why the prices were lowered.
More likely, DX was duped into purchasing some fakes from a new vendor under the pretense that they were real. Apparently, they were told that these fakes were just from a different factory, but indeed they appear to have been fakes. The question is what DX will do about it, particularly since the fakes may be destroyed by firmware updates.

Hmm? I thought someone said they bought one and it had a gold dot? Maybe this was some other online store... Anyway, I doubt the packaging will do a great deal for long. I mean, they managed to do a pretty good imitation of the card. Plastic won't be a problem for them. XD
I haven't heard of anyone actually receiving one of the new packages yet. Do you know of someone who got one and it contained a fake?
As far as I know the new packages currently being sold at DX are probably real and not fake since the companies selling fakes wouldn't have had had time to copy the packaging yet.

No. No one personally. I thought I saw it on here, but I think that I was just imagining it or something. I guess we'll just have to play the waiting game on that one.
But I reckon it wouldn't take them too long to copy that packaging. I suppose it depends on a number of factors, but if they caught wind of it early then who knows?

Anyone have the photos that are linked to dstt site? They are way too slow to even see. Please post here if you do
