Nintendo Takes Action Against Flash Cart Makers

[Ferrariman]

lol @ companies fighting piracy. They'll never stop it, hell they'll never make a dent in it.

You guys want to make money off your product? Here's how you do it. Use in-game advertising and distribute the game for FREE via the Internet. We'll buy your official flashcart (since nothing will compare quality wise) and watch the intro about how TWEWY 2 is brought to us by Pepsi and see a few Mercedes-Benz posters in Shibuya. This will curb piracy, put money in your pockets and lower the damn production budget of games. When did every new title need to cost $10 million again? Graphics and celebrity voice actors? Mmhmm.

The Internet is here and everyone can use it. Get with the times, Nintendo/Square/etc, we have.

Seldom do I find anything more annoying than in-game advertising.

What he said, Any one play Rainbow Six vegas 2?

we'll just stop buying their products!!!

Nothing new, it's like more of attracting ppl towards what an R4 or flashcart is...
Nothing's gonna change except that the companies involved and Big N will find it pretty useless that they did so, leave us alone (those who can't buy games)

One day a few years ago, my favorite "development tools" site (lik-sang) pissed Sony off by selling PSP's to European customers in colors not authorized by Sony.

Today @ http://www.lik-sang.com/index.html
"Lik-Sang.com Out of Business due to Multiple Sony Lawsuits
Tue Oct 24 2006 21:58:51 Hong Kong Time - Corporate Info

OUT OF BUSINESS NOTICE

Hong Kong, October 24th of 2006 - Lik-Sang.com, the popular gaming retailer from Hong Kong, has today announced that it is forced to close down due to multiple legal actions brought against it by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited and Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Sony claimed that Lik-Sang infringed its trade marks, copyright and registered design rights by selling Sony PSP consoles from Asia to European customers, and have recently obtained a judgment in the High Court of London (England) rendering Lik-Sang's sales of PSP consoles unlawful. ..."

Sony had them shut down. All GB and GBA flash cards, PS1 and PS2 swap cards, etc. became unavailable everywhere. Instantly.
All my favorite GBA ROM sites disappeared. I am still boycotting Sony products. Do not underestimate this news.

I am not saying that it will be impossible to buy a flash card somewhere, or to find .nds files on p2p, but I expect significant changes soon.

I am prepared to use my NDS_Backup_Tool_3in1.nds to dump my Dragon Quest IV retail cartridge in September, if necessary.
I hope Narin is still updating the cheats files here by then.

 

[Wekker]

what do you guys mean with, nintendo got the cyclos team?
i mean nintendo = not police,
it just a company, as long it not illegal there, nintendo have no right to do any thing,
i was wondering why the sony and microsoft dont have such problems?
do they got better security stuff on their hardware?

Have you seen this: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=97627

So you are saying that flashcards will be very difficult to buy anywhere and nds roms will stop being distributed? By your logic, a new batch of DSTT's means that DS flashcards will be hard to get? This "taking action" will probably make very little difference.

 

[Ruud91]

wtf, i think it is going to work for nintendo,
My favorite flashcard site www.importshop.nl stopped selling
www.m3adapter.com doesnt work
www.psxshop.nl no more flashcards
www.ombouwwinkel.nl flashcards also gone

damn and I have only 3 flashcards XD
