Nintendo blocks flashcards with DSi firmware 1.4.1

Nintendo should make useful updates.

Nintendo should make useful updates.

To Nintendo, this update is very useful!

 

[pikachu945]

we did know that this update was going to happen someone posted here
Nintendo was doing maintenance on the DSi Shop and Wii Shop

And Nintendo are temporarily allowing them to lull us into a false sense of security, then hit everyone with a universal cart block!

That would be quite an expensive message to send to flashcart manufacturers...

What I would have done if I were Nintendo was release an update which didn't block flashcarts but added some minor feature like customizing the homescreen colours. Sites like this would report that the update was safe. Then a few hours later, release another update which would block flashcarts and people would update to it thinking it was the first update.

I agree that's way the DSi is pointless

From what I've heard, Nintendo basically have to do very extensive testing to make absolutely sure that they don't brick any systems.
You know, even though they HAVE bricked wiis through attempts to stop the homebrew scene.

So basically, with their attempts to stop the piracy, they have to be very, very careful so they can't just throw out these updates all the time.

Do I buy a EZ Flash Vi or wait for an update for my Acekard 2i? What would you's do?

Will the Acekard 2i ever get an update again?

I do anyway. Not for news about updates, but to giggle at all the quick-to-update no0bs who have yet to learn to read up on stuff first...

Other people's misery makes my life seem better!

I hoping the M3 Team is going to right into this problem quickly because they are very slow when they are planning a fix for an update like when they did the 1.4 fix. However, the are really good in what they do so in my opinion I stay with my M3i Zero because it absolutely awesome and they have regular updates so that's great for me.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Is the list of blocked and unblocked flash carts on the first post up-to-date?

 

[Loki7777]

I think that Acekard 2i users hope is in Akaio team (so good that i didn't tested new update

)

Keep fingers crossed

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

Expect probably close to 3 months before the M3 team probably fixes thier fcore file to work with the 1.4.1 firmware.

I believe it is. Basically all carts expect the EZ-Flash Vi and clones of the EZ-Flash Vi are blocked.

Boy, I was wondering if Nintendo had given up on DSi Flashcart blocking.

Well, if I know Nintendo's half-assed patch-up jobs, there very may well be yet another workaround in sight.

 

[Yo123]

1.4.2 is out.
my friends DSi LL runs now on 1.4.2c

 

[xLaraCroftx]

Just hope that Normmatt can work his magic

or my 2 week old DSI XL will go
