Easily bypassed: newer carts have better firmware, and are Slot 1 only (I don't see too many GBA slot carts anymore).]]>Dec 2nd 2008 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/
How long til we see a "DSiPhone"?]]>Dec 2nd 2008 10:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/That's pretty much it. Since I've seen these kinds of posts time and time again, I'll just say that the rest is silly rhetoric. Why would they?
Buy a decent mod card; there's quite a few apps out there (I'm sure there's a skype compatible program out there by now too).]]>Dec 3rd 2008 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/Dec 3rd 2008 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/Dec 2nd 2008 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/
Hey, it's a good low-cost PMP (for what it's worth) - and not bad quality either. Now somewhere I read it also has an SD slot too (or do my eyes deceive me?) I could totally see plenty of use for that in homebrew, as long as Nintendo doesn't lock it out by their firmware.

I wonder if Nintendo stepped it up a notch and included upgradeable firmware as well? If so, games could be programmed to recognize a specific firmware version (kind of like the PSP) and not run if you don't have it. Again, homebrew will find a workaround to this, if Nintendo has had this in mind already. If they decided to add a camera (did I see two??) and SD slot, upgradeable firmware is very much possible too - you never know. But this is a good reason to buy it new, wait a month or two for the appropriate hacks to come out... and there ya go - defeated DRM :P

As for no GBA slot. Bonus! (Although those add-on accessories - if you bought any - would be rendered useless now). This hardware can emulate GB/C/GBA, even console ROMS (consoles have a harder time rendering in it though; different programming and processing architecture is the bottleneck).

... And what is this "Pandora" I've been hearing bout' as of late? (link please?)]]>Dec 2nd 2008 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/http://openpandora.org/

The Pandora is an open Linux gaming computer with a touchscreen that is similar to the shape of the DS. It has 2 SD slots and a full computer OS. It can emulate any console up to the PS1 and possibly the N64. Its $330 I think. It's being made by a guy that poured his life savings into the project so if it flops, so does he. It sold out very quickly when it was first made available for ordering and they will be taking more preorders later. Hope that helps. I'm pretty sure my info is right.]]>Dec 3rd 2008 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/Dec 3rd 2008 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/Dec 3rd 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/nintendo-dsi-gets-its-first-flash-cart-courtesy-of-acekard/Dec 3rd 2008 11:26AM
