They can force the update on you by making games include the latest firmware and require the games to check for that firmware before they run.
this is wrong. They made new system, but DS Games itself by nintendo's standard must remain same. Making code that would not be understood by older ds/lite units is just againts the purpose, ds games not working on ds? Nope. Also, they are troubled to fit the game itself to rom, then alone a firmware update with updater? Nope. Also, i think that ingame wifi is part of game, and dsi could not stop that from working in vain not having a firmware. In everything else, you are right.
Also, here i sit, looked at this. Im not losing my homebrew, beatiful sakura ui, gba slot nor nothing over two cameras, BADER media player with no video or multiple music format support. If you wait DSi to get hacked, why? If flashcart can't be booted, then why wait? Most of you have your lites, or even phats. I do, after i fix mine. They will have flashcarts, homebrew, media capability and gba slot still. (why i am mentioning the damn slot? All it gives is moar games rumble and ram, and DSi has the ram already, i thik and whole slot issue is unrelevant...) I am not down playing the DSi, but more like saying: those who got one, use it for what you can, there is still older version what does what else you would want to. Do not make a wait something.
Also, those who apparently did not read and were speculating yasu to make roms from sd: nope, he just wrote he does NOT like what majority of flashcart users use their cart for, I.E. Yasu does not support piracy. Yet he is into running homebrew code on this new hardware.
Also, any pokemon fan would not be happy about no slot2... Damn, there was that slot thing again!
... I leave you sound of silence...
