The “damage” to the system is referring to the profit of the market. So if I was ‘harming’ the NES in this sense, it means that I was ruining the market and sustainability of further development.

Yes, it’s not what a lot of people think of as damage. They get a system that works BETTER than what the designers meant for it to! ;)

irreparably damages them my sack. Maybe if nintendo didnt make such shitty games for their nintendos (“angel cat sugar kitty” and any game in the “petz” series are prime examples) people wouldn’t be making flashcarts like these to play games like fatal relations, half-elf tentacle assault, or pokemon ghost black.
Get a clue nintendo.
At least with the skank in pokemon black and white they’re starting to realize that the people who play their game HAVE NUT HAIR.

flah carts don’t damage the DS. its after you get the cartrege and then flash it is what could brick the DS but thats user error or nand error.

If it was the one in the picture, yes it does damage the ds, the others do also, the ony one that I have used that does not do bad to the kernel is the R4.

If they make nds flash cartridges illegal then why not make blank dvd’s and Cd’s illegal too?????? those are the main source of pirating lmfao it would be retarded wouldn’t it??!!! therefore making the ban of flash cartridges RETARDED!!!! anyone who disagrees go pour yourself a big tall glass of shut the fuck up!!!!

hmmm. yep as far as i can see amazon are still breakin the law! and how come the flashcard makers havent been targeted? i have an r4 (amazon) and a cyclo (much better) and nobody came to me in a hurry with the handcuffs. admittedly if he was selling them with the roms thats not so good but if it was homebrew… as many others have explained WTF!

cheap ass government (uk)

you realize that the Microsoft and the like would love nothing more than to extend this to pcs by locking out and outlawing any non-commercial software. the scary thing is os software and cpu hardware is pursuing just that under the guise of drm.

ForgetAboutit: weird… I can load all the roms as if the games were original from a local-brand SD card named; Kurac-Pizda (KP)23i …it sells for like 5 EUR.Well i did modify it with Jebemti Mater hack ;)

Hacking is freedom eh ? I guess,when somebody hacks your bank account,the it wouldn’t be freedom anymore,eh?

But i do agree, flashcarts alone do NO harm.Selling them is your business.Why are guns allowed then? (in my country is different – no guns allowed to civilians exceptions taken for those who got some sort of death threats and must hold a licence.period)

I also tried a sony SD card and it loaded my NDS roms in the main menu. I can also get some radio transmissions.I read in another post,another person had similar experience.

Modchips are legal in the uk. Hence amazon selling them.

Sorry but the technology in question was not seized because of piracy, in fact it was alien technology from the future and we could not have it in our world.
