DSi tougher than DS for piracy?
DS ROMs apparently not faring too well on the new hardware
Kotaku has been pursuing reports that the DSi might contain new anti-piracy software that appears to put the kybosh on bootleg DS games.
Several instances of games not working properly on Nintendo’s hardware update are beginning to appear around t’internet, though no official announcement of new anti-piracy measures have been made.
“Nintendo vigorously fights the illegal copying of video games around the world,” a Nintendo spokesperson said. “All of our hardware and software includes technological features that combat video game piracy, but we do not disclose what those specific features are.”
It's not long since Japanese authorities came down on the R4 card manufacturers, and it seems Nintendo might be continuing the court's work.
It makes sense for Nintendo to keep quiet on any specific new attempts to curb piracy, but it’s reassuring to see it might well have taken the opportunity to crack down using the new DSi console.
Anybody noticed any ‘grey’ software behaving badly on the DSi?
