Damn it, oh well I guess there was nothing you could do about the DS's library it was already hacked. I hope they don't break the 3DS to soon.
well I'm surely impressed that it happened so fast...
Even if it's "just" the DS-portion of the console, it clearly shows that there are loopholes once again... R4's are ok, they gave me the best pocket-sized-wifi-linux-terminal I ever found and also provided me with a decent browser before I had a smartphone, sadly most people use it for totally different stuff...
I can't wait for homebrew on the 3DS, 3D-video-recording/streaming will happen soon (I'm pretty sure) and that would make the 3DS the cheapest 3D-cam around, a way better reason for me to get one then any of the launch-games :-p
I also foresee a couple or AR-ports in the homebrew-scene, like that AR-RPG that's being devved on 'droid, the 3DS will be more capable for it since it has 2 cams and thus can actually see 'depth'... I don't think Nintendo will allow us to use even 25% of what would be possible on it, so it'll be up to the homebrew-crowd to get us all this nifty software, and I'm sure they'll step up to the task after Nintendo challenged them by claiming the 3DS would be unhackable :p

Inevitable. The 3DS is running DS games as DS games and since the R4 pretends to be a game...
Actually a pretty big plus point, since it'd be a pretty big hassle to lug around even more games. Plus if the 3DS gets cracked then I won't have to deal with the fucking retarded region lock either.
Of course though, it'll mean piracy. But honestly, what doesn't these days. Just wait for the NGP's launch, that'll be really damn quick if the past is to be believed.

Nintendo is going to start a crusade against every hacker. Hunting them doing and lining them up against a wall, ordering their platoon of mercenaries to fire at will. Oh wait......that's Sony.
Good.
Next time, Nintendo will think twice about crying the pirate wolf when justifying their need to region lock their shit.

@sqlrob,
Please, let's not be ignorant. I would NEVER post a comment without reading the article. But what I may draw from it may be wrong, but that's merely a miscommunication problem.
What I got was: The 3DS has R4 card capabilities now, and while it can't run 3DS-related things, the original DS's library should work fine.

I liked hacjing shit back when it cost and arm and a leg... so only blokes like me could actually back-up their games without much persecution.
The advent of easy to use flash-cards has made the threat of piracy tremendously higher...
Meaning I can't carry my entire library in my pocket anymore. :(

That is F***ing pathetic, the sad thing is that they will probably be tons of 13 year old kids that buy cheep crap like that so that they do not have to pay tribute to the devlopers that spent parts of their lives to make these games.
Lazy bums can't even work to buy games should not be allowed to play video games at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As morally bankrupt as it is, it is very impressive that they've already managed to hack into the 3DS, you do have to give these guys some credit.
Nintendo plans to use firmware updates to combat piracy.

but really it was to be expected ds games just have very little protection but it wont matter much for nintendo that you can still play pirated ds games on the 3ds
@Retrofaction
How exactly are 13 year old kids supposed to work, out of curiosity? I somewhat doubt a thirteen year old kid would be able to apply for a job anywhere.

It's nice to know I can still use my Emulators on the go (altho I really prefer the PSP for that) and, admittedly, it is damn handy to have all your games on one cartridge rather than 10 (altho I buy the original games as well... I sometimes don't unwrap them, tho :P)
As for 3DS Mode, I hope that won't be hacked anytime soon. The DS software library suffered noticeably from the easy and quick ways to pirate games, and I don't want to see the same happening to the 3DS.

Unsurprising. Once they said they were going to have DS card support, this was inevitable, considering the R4 is basically like opening a game. The only way to avoid it practically would have been to emulate the DS hardware on the 3DS, which would be a lot more work for something that'd be broken, too.
The R4 is a cool practical device which has a lot of interesting things on it, so it's a shame that most people see it (and it's become) primarily a platform for piracy.

Hmmmmm, I wonder what that update that's supposed to come after the North American launch is for....
I never use R4 cards
But the increasing number of games being released outside Europe but not within and the region locking Im considering getting one; mind you only for the games I physically cannot get

Thats not really a new problem. Every system since the NES has had problems with some games being released in one region and not in others. Hell, I'm still waiting for Jump Ultimate Stars for the DS and Monster Hunter Frontier for the PC to come to the US.

TBH (to look at this sensibly) they probably just didn't-care and protecting a legacy library that was already compromised all to hell.
On top of that, well, how are they supposed to add additional-protection to a copy-protection scheme that was already busted? I wouldn't be surprised if people just slotted their existing R4s into a 3DS and It Just Worked (TM).

@Maniac

Meh, I have a R4 for my DS but I plan to actually buy the games this time, if only because the cases are oh so pretty.
another bullshit jim article which isnt true. Because the 3ds is compatible with ds games and is full yregion free it works........ nothing hacked
and why not an article about how in less than 24 hours the 3ds is already sold out?
to positive?

Is this where we all act like we're better at console protection then Nintendo?
That's how it worked for Sony right, after 5 years, so Nintendo lost this one in 1 day, they gonna get the same treatment? Right?

Oh good. I bought a card ages ago so I wouldn't have to carry around my DS library with me on flights (and that's ALL I use it for). Good to know I'll be able to do the same with the 3DS. Carrying around a bunch of cartridges is a bitch.
this is one of those times i'd agree with you jim. it is stealing but it's good to see that it's only the ds side for now. sadly i doubt it's totaly uncrackable. factor in the fact that the games have adjustable 3d (or no 3d at all since nintendo's not making developers make 3ds games in 3d.) and you have the half the battle for emulation already won. -sigh- oh well i still plan to get one and enjoy it while it lasts.
