Nintendo has confirmed that the DSi has a number of enhancements with regards to its security. One of the main ways that Nintendo will try and battle piracy on the system is through firmware updates, in similar fashion to what Sony attempts to do with the PSP. Nintendo also revealed that the system is region locked due to differences in age ratings for certain games.
lol, as soon as the DSi is available in USA/EUR I really think we will see a Custom Firmware, which lets us play ROM-BackUps on our DSi. And with SD-Slot they just made much easier for hackers.
haha I think Nintendo owned his own ^^ xD
I wouldn't count on a CFW being made. I'm sure the Big N has learned from its previous mistakes and has made things much more complicated than the original/DS Lite and even the Wii. It may turn out that it is easy to hack the firmware but on the other hand it may turn out to have extra security like the new PSP motherboards or the PS3 (doubt it would be that high security). To add to that, the cost of modding the hardware, buying a kit, or whatnot and/or the installation might be too much for normal users to justify using that instead of going legit.
