Meanie. The game may cost you 35$, but here in my country, due to tax and everything, it goes for a quarter of my salary. No way can I go around buying original games.

A quarter of your salary! With taxes and the appropriate conversion it should cost about $70/$80. So you're telling me you make $320 a month. O_O. Unless....you're a teen.

Nope. Here in Brazil the game can be found for $150. If I wait for the game to get old, I can get it for $120.
I get roughly $600 monthly.

Of course, I can import the game, will cost around $100.

Wholy S***, thats $88 in Canada D: ($150 BRL Conversion)

I think he was already quoting in USD, correct me if wrong... so it's worse then $88 CDN.

I live in Brazil as well, and the guy's right. Here, one Dollar is +- 2BR$, however, the stores don't ask for 100BR$ (50$), they ask for 150/200/250BR$ depending on the game (150BR$ as he said are usually the cheaper, a PS3 game is easily on 250/300), so you have most games costing 75/100/125$. It's conversion, taxes, and a NEED to profit. To me this is almost as criminal as piracy itself. For comparison, a DVD (movie) here, costs 50BR$ (25$). Yes, since the government is willing to do things right with the movie industry, we probably pay less for movie DVDs than in NA, however games are not so fortunate (I am not making an excuse for piracy since there's also heavy piracy on movies as well, even though they're cheaper, however, most people CAN buy them if they want, it's reasonable).

A "ok" salary on Brazil is somewhat my compatriot said: 1200BR$ (600$), so, if he spends up to 250BR$ in a game, it's not a quarter, but it's costy as hell. Oh, of course, and most people here do not receive 1200BR$/month (and I'm not talking abou teenagers, and yes about familiy fathers), and that's why a good number of people buy the systems (I bet there's a percentage of NA system sales that comes here), but don't/can't pay the games. Oh, right, about the systems, I paid 600BR$ (300$) on a PSP3000 last month, and I paid CHEAP, I got on our own eBay, most were 700/800BR$ (350/400$).

So, yeah, not making an apology or a excuse for piracy, but while I can pay a game or two, no way I can spend that much. Yeah, "you should not play if you can't pay. I'd drive a Ferrari if I could, but I can't", but I don't think it's that simple.

(Oh an extra: I just remembered, the full package of Beatles Rock Band came for 3000 BR$ (1500$), nice.)

(another comparison, 10 years ago, there was a time 1BR$ = 1$, but a N64 game costed 90 BR$, Ocarina of Time was BR$120 a year later, Majora's Mask BR$150, Pokémon Stadium 2 BR$200, that was also the time when piracy started and grew strong since a pirated PS game costed 10BR$ each CD)

Oh, and these prices I listed above are for import shops, that ''''''TRY'''''' to get us cheaper, and probably bring the game without taxes (yeah, smuggling). Most Official and Mall shops don't ask less than 300BR$. The official XBOX 360 (actually, the only console that is officialy brought here, the rest are imports), costs 2500/3000 BR$ (1250/1500$), so you get our problem.

I'm beginning to think we're not going to get a real solution anytime soon

People have been trying to tell all the "Is there a fix for DSTT/R4 yet?" askers for days but nobody wanted to listen and they just kept asking the question over and over.

I have a DSTT but I am thinking of upgrading to an Acekard after this and past incidents where games simply do not play on the DSTT, like Tropix.

Here's my question: what would I need to play Mario & Luigi 3 on it? Just the latest firmware or also the AR code/patch? I apologize for asking for this information again, but I feel if we're going to tell DSTT users this is the way to go to still play the game on the flashcart, having this information recapped in this thread would help.

Edit: one other quick question: how hard would it be to use the same .sav files on an Acekard? Would I have to convert them all or are they the same file type as a DSTTs?

All joking aside, if DSTT doesn't come up with a patch for this game, it will hurt its sales of both the old DSTT and the new DSTTi as it appears that they take pirating of their own product more seriously than their customers. Which is the true meaning of irony!

If they produce a fix, and I hope they do, then their sales may improve and continue. But most would agree that at the moment the ACEKARD series with both an official firmware and the AKAIO unofficial builds, it makes it very difficult to actually recommend the DSTT other than its cheap and cheerful.

but with the Acekards now being 13$ on dealextreme theres not much incentive to buy a DSTT anymore...

    @Xdqwerty No you heard wrong, and don't believe till you experience yourself. Fallout 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yes it had issues early on, esp with older hardware like the xbox1, but it is awesome, esp now being 4k on Series S/X or PS5
