Is this old news? My friend, bastard pirate that he is, has had a flash card for his DSi since like three days after he got his.
Correct me if I am wrong, anyone, but hasn't R4 cards already come out for the DSi?
When I brought my R4 card for my DS lite about a week ago, I saw multiple R4 DSi cards on the site I ordered from.

There's already an R4i (although not be the official r4 team) and the Acekard DSi since 2008. It disappoints me that sites like this and Kotaku didn't know about that and think that the DSi is hack proof when it has not been since the Japanese launch.
DSiware have yet to be hacked though unlike the totally borken Wii store

I don't think you need to be disappointed. Typically, "sites like this and Kotaku" tend to focus on general gaming news rather than keeping up with the latest piracy devices. I assume that if you're into piracy, you know where to get your up-to-the-minute news.

@Everyone:
This is news because this is the first modchip to combat the nintendo firmware updates that will be happening. Once Nintendo patches the R4i and Acekard2i they will be useless.

"So there's this sort of fun ... relationship, I think, that's happening between Nintendo and the hardcore gamer which we enjoy and hope that the core gamer enjoys it."

Trying to stop hackers = waste of money.
Seriously, the big names would reduce illegal downloading more by dumping expensive 'security' measures and research into better measures and dropping the price of their games accordingly. Try telling that to a board full of stupid old men that have no idea about the business they are investing in though.

or you could buy one of the others and not upgrade. i love the browser and dr. mario and all, but i love my acekard more.
Not at all surprised.
Amazing thing is, Nintendo could kill all of this, by making the DS more open source than not (like iPhone). If DS and its development were more open (to both pros and homebrewers), there'd be less need for such devices. Nintendo's lack of sorting out readily available downoadable DS demos (foreign and domestic) also plays heavily into this.
If DS demos of DS games (and I mean all games, import or not), were as readily available, like games are on PSN/Live, there'd be far less piracy than there is.

lol @ lazyhoboguy: To the developers/publishers of games, buying used is no different from piracy - they still don't see any of that money. Haven't you read any of the myriad complaints form industry people on the subject? Think before you type next time.
I own a CycloDS Evo but to be fair I still buy all my games. The fact that I don't have to carry around a shitload of little carts, can use cheats and homebrew totally makes picking one of these things up.
* Itīs stupid how a simple cartridge offers for years what Nintendo donīt want do: digital distribution. In DS, with many niche game, is even more important. Thatīs the main problem with Nintendo: they see Pokemon sells a lot in retail form and because that ignore what the other half of market want.
Acekard 2i has been available on the market for quite some time for pirates to enjoy on their DSi.
I just got a DSi myself, so I'm planning on getting one of these things myself to make up for the lost GBA port. All my NES, SNES, GB & GBA favourites stored conveniently on one SD Card? Yes, please!

Exodus: uhhh, you need a slot 2 device to play GBA games on the DS... and the DSi doesn't have a slot 2. sorry bud.
@Bodybreak
Reread my post, will you? ;)
Or are you saying that the DSi can't even play GBA ROMS with the use of a flash cart? O_O

I'm still on the fence. I knew/know that there's cards for the DSi, I just really don't know if the shorter battery life and no GBA slot can make up for the bigger screen. I'm almost half tempted to say I would only buy one if I could get a Japanese model to get at the exclusive DSiWare titles.
Stoping pirates HAHAHAHAHA.
All these incredible measures designed to stop pirates are meaningless, they always get around them and for the most part just screw over actual paying customers.
The DSi is a waste of money anyways, normal DS lites work perfectly fine and have more battery life. I can live without the shitty DSi store.

lol, after rereading my post you will note that i said that you need a slot 2 device to emulate GBA roms. they plug into the slot 2 of your DS, and normally they boot roms off of the microSD in your flashcart. the DSi doesn't have a slot 2 so as of now you can't emulate GBA roms on the DSi. i'm sure they'll work around it, what with the SD card port and all or some other elaborate device.
I find it hilarious that all the people who pirate brand new games complain about the lack of hardcore titles on the DS.
@ Projectexodus
The DS isn't powerful enough to emulate GBA games, so it can't play GBA roms. It also can't really play SNES games that well either, for that you should really stick with a PSP.
It does NES and original GB perfect though.

Oh yeah? After reading the last line of my post, you'd know that I did in fact understand your post properly. So suck on that. :P
Anyway, I searched for information about GBA emu's on google. And apparently it's impossible to emulate GBA games on the DSi, because they can't get access to the extra power of the DSi (they're currently stuck with the power of the old DS). And even if they did, it wouldn't be enough to properly emulate alot of games.
Kinda fail on my part not to have found this out earlier, BEFORE I purchased the damn thing. -_-
But we can always hope. :)

Man, those crafty pirates! Not only are they attacking cruise ships and cargo boats, but now the DSi?
When will it stop??
my PSP was raped by a pirate
and it liked it.
