Nintendo have taken further steps to reduce piracy on the Nintendo DSi by providing a firmware update that effectively blocks the majority of flash carts that are readily available for the popular handheld.
The 1.4.1U update provides a number of system related fixes but according to numerous gaming publications the firmware update goes one step further and prevents the use of unauthorised flash carts.
Finally!
Cool. I just wish I could use my DSi, lol. The L button is stuck big time, and it freezes my system up if I try using the touch screen, so I may or may not even be able to get to the update screen.
Fuck.
Ouendan!
i hear its already squashed
Good
Do wish Nintendo tries harder for the 3DS.
i have only two of those games and they are animal crossing ww and mario 64 ds

So is the update forced or optional like the Wii? I don’t own a DSi but it’ll be a smart move for Nintendo.
I have one Nintendo back at home. I had it since I was in gradeschool and until now I still use it whenever I feel bored. The first game I played was Super Mario Bros… I still enjoyed it!

Oh look, 90% of Flashcarts working on new update already.
Stop wasting your money and put it into making decent games and not this constant flow of shovel ware.
