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.

the cards dos not damage to the consoles that is what they wont you to think and if you are playing homebrew that is not wrong and in the us you can not get in to trubull for playing homebrew and use the r4 cards they are so much bater.

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.

well if nintendo just came up with a proper internet browser cart for their DS/lite then this wouldn’t be an issue. Personally I say just ditch their overpriced junky mainboard and roll your own that fits into the existing case. A bonus if you got your DS wet and its an expensive brick.

You can probably buy most of the parts online already, and the DS’s touch screen is a standard part so should be easy to drive.

Nintendo is just playing stupid. Piracy made Commodore sell C64 by millions. If Nintendo knew what is good for him it would allow free download of limited crippled trial games and would offer flash carts for free. I would call that *fair use* right.

That would kill the need for the piracy and would be the best marketing ever.

So instead of Nintendo adding a flash drive to the DS and perhaps some decent memory they are going to let their product die off with Intel Atom powered tablet PC’s. Good choice Nintendo, ignore the innovations of your consumers.

[pouncer] was close, they were actually afraid the kids would grind the flash carts up and smoke them, thus installing the pirate software in their brains!

Then they’d have no choice but to confiscate them surgically. Not like the cart-smokers would miss them anyway, it would make their head easier to hold up, right?
