Quantcast



Console hacksmiths can never, ever be stopped, and despite the DSi doing what it can to hold out against naughty tinkerers, it has finally surrendered to the Acekard 2i, which should facilitate all your filthy piracy homebrew needs.

The above video demonstrates Acekard's handiwork, and if you're interested to know more, there is always their Web site.

Quite why console manufacturers even try to fight this stuff is beyond me. I suppose they have to be seen doing something about it, but hackers will always hack, no matter what's thrown in front of them.

I must say, the new DS does look nice.

It's still a rip-off though.

I second the "best blog title ever". It made me send this article to a friend just to read the title.

I read that the DSi was penetrated weeks ago. Why report it just now?

@the excel
The dsi was too embarrassed to talk about the encounter - jim had to get it drunk to confide in him.

They'll take Slot-2 away from me when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

i think based on teh above mentioned rip off, they relocatd the Slot 2. You just have to bend over to find it.

I like the new user interface. I am not buying a new DS until they add in legacy support though.

Give us customers a free region-protection console and I'll love you more. I'm still buying a DSi, but I'd like to be able to play good japanese/european exclusive titles in my American DSi... Do that or release all DS/DSi games in the whole world.
