My conspiracy theory, I would like to add spoiler tags if I knew how to, but here it goes:
You know, I've been meaning to say this for a long time, but I never got the chance.
Every time the question pops up, some idiots reply that we don't really care, or nobody cares and so on.
First, I don't think that nobody cares, in fact in this tread alone there are at least two of us who cares.
Second, I think a lot of homebrew that struggles on the DS today for a lack of speed or memory, would somehow benefit from a little extra processor power and memory that the DSi has to offer.
But the truth is, after giving it much thought myself a very different kind of issue then " the people who can code don't care ", although it's related.
You know what the problem really is ?
The DSi has and SD card slot.
In this SD card slot you can stick ANY cheap SD card.
Now what will happen if somebody hacks the DSi and actually writes homebrew ?
What would you first do ? Enable the camera ? Meh.....Use the extra memory ? Meh...the SC already has that and the extra processing power.....I tell you what I would do, I would enable the SD card slot so that I COULD RUN HOMEBREW FROM THE SD CARD SLOT !
Now think about it, what would happen if we would run homebrew from the dirty cheap SD cards to the big, mighty flashcart makers ? SC, M3, AK, Cyclo and so on ?
Who the hell would buy their cards anymore ?
I have reason to believe, that those who sell the flashcarts, in some way or another support those coders in order to release game patches and homebrew that would actually help to sell those flashcards in the first place.
So to summarize, that's my opinion about the truth .
They keep on telling us ' nobody cares ' and neither should you, but at the end, the problem lies in the fact that they want you to keep on buying their flashcarts.
It's all money related bro', the whole world keeps spinning around.
Personally, I hope the 3DS will come with SD card slots and very easy to hack, so easy actually that anybody could run code off the SD card without much effort, then with those pesky flashcart makers gone, who would actually support piracy and work on updates and patches for free ?
That would be Nintendo killing move !First, I'm pretty sure that you can't just throw game/homebrew files onto a memory card and run them directly on the DSi, even if DSi mode is hacked... The DSi should be able to know that the data is coming from their non-game slot and not run. Maybe since Nintendo seems to have done the incredibly stupid thing of allowing the 3DS to run "3DSware" from SD cards it would be possible on the 3DS, but this is about DSi.
Second, the VAST majority of people don't buy flashcards for homebrew. Sorry, simple as that. The first team to get a DSi mode flashcard would be able to charge whatever they wanted for it for a while before the price drops and similar devices appear, just like the PS3 jailbreak, just like the previous Slot-1 flashcards.
It's not a conspiracy, people just honestly don't care.
The DSi doesn't have a 'killer game' or 'killer app' to warrant all the effort it would take over the current 'DS-on-DSi' cards out there especially as qwertymodo said, the '3rd-gen' Slot-1 devices have onboard CPUs/RAM that are greater than the DS'.

and i think if they are gonna hack the 3ds they must hack the dsi first because maybe nintendo thinks that the hackers can't hack the dsi so the antipiracy software of the 3ds must be almost the same as the dsi
