DSi 1.4 firmware piracy measures defeated already
Flashcarts are back in business, apparently
The Nintendo DSi received its 1.4 firmware update less than a week ago. Among other things, it scuppered pirates by blocking all previously compatible flashcarts.
But many of these flashcart manufacturers were prepared for just such a scenario, and they've built their own devices with upgradable firmware. Considering that it only took them about a month to design a DSi compatible flashcart, it's not a huge surprise that they have already found a way around Nintendo's new security measures.
the video below comes from the team behind the R4i Gold device, and shows the cart happily working once again on a DSi console running version 1.4 of the Nintendo firmware. Undoubtedly the other flashcart manufacturers won't be far behind with their updates, either.
Good news for homebrew developers, at least, though it's got to be a trifle annoying for Nintendo.
