I'm going to have to completely agree with that. Everytime I hear about Nintendo fighting flashcarts, its only ever the R4DS that's being fought. I mean WTF? There are at LEAST 15 different types of Slot-1 flashcarts available on the "underground market (shall we say)," but I don't ever read "Nintendo cracks down on Flashcart that's DIFFERENT to R4DS."
It's pretty weird to be honest. ._."

Do you really want one? ;P
R4 is clearing out their SUPER old stock by the way, apparently they had some spring ones at the bottom of the barrel.
Didn't know they still had some left lol.
So for those that like the spring version R4s (I like them, never had a problem with them despite their rep), if you're lucky you might be able to get one now.

Maybe this will lower the use of flashcarts among those not technology inclined.
They have always tried to get rid of flashcarts but I think recently they have been getting overly popular.
So this might scare away the popularity and give us sometime out of the spotlight to enjoy our flashcarts and the like.
Personally I think flashcarts just arent for everybody and its always best when the popularity is low.
I prefer flashcarts for homebrew and dev uses. Plus trying new games out before I go waste my cash. Plus sticking all my games on one cart. I dont just use it to play games for free. Its good to buy what you like. (plus no one likes to be surprised by a possible good game turning out to be crap and loosing your hard earned cash or half of it if you try to sell it used)
Remember kids: If you like it, buy it. Gotta help out the devs who made the games you like so much.
Plus you get a nice case and a little pointless book of random little semi helpfull things. For those times your not on the internets.

To get a bit of reason into this discussion: you people are aware that Nintendo goes after video game copier/flash cart producers every now and then at least since the early 1990s?
Read this letter from Nintendo for a laugh. It's from 1992, the oldest one I could find. It clearly shows that they know a little bit more about this stuff then one could imagine after reading the first post in this thread.
Really, things like this happened every few months in the past few years, I'm amazed at how agitated you people can get every time.

I think its quite amusing. My mate bought an R4 (without asking my advice) and it didnt work, ive read on here about the R4 being rubbish so im surprised nintendo are after that one lol Maybe its coz its the original?
Anyways, ive just ordered 3 ttds off amazon (to have a backup supply!)
Thing is,
The ds has been out 4 years now, nearly everyone who is gonna get a cart has already got 1!!
The IRONIC thing is that if it wasnt for the ttds cart i wouldnt have bought 2 ds`s!!!!
Thats £198 that nintendo has that wouldnty have. I mean, im not going to spend £29 on games that mostly are either kiddy rubbish or snes quality sub games.
And remember........ Piracy is bad, although jack sparrow made a living out of it! ;-)

Does this mean, we can forget the new R4DS Frimware which was sheduled to be released on September 15th? =(
I do really hope not!
They call this "lost money, what we need"
What we need?
F*cking Nintendo, having already more than 10 Milliards USD/Yen and still complaining about "needed money" >.>
Their fault when they think they can sell us f*cking casual games so expensive!

Zerotance said:The M3 sakura is going to go isn't it in this case? - This means no more firmware if we get m3 reals and want m3 sakura firmware on it because now, r4ds' and m3 simplys have stopped production and now Nintendo are locking up japanese flashcards like the sakura so now all the sweet firmware isn't likely to happen. This is bad and nintendo are going to regret it with loads of m3/r4 owners in their email box asking them to stop. Believe it or not but nintendo have a flashcard of them own - the ds vision and they are making their own go on top.
Nintendo will regret it? Are you serious?
Nintendo IS NOT going to regret ending the pirating devices that are losing them money. And do you really think nintendo will pay attention to a bunch of whining lawbreaking illegal piraters emails? Of course not.
And the DS Vision is not a nintendo flash cart. It is a nintendo licensed product made exclusively for BUYING anime and watching it on the DS.
Stop whining.
