Aaw and here I was waiting for all the cool homebrew DSi demos to start showing up.
Though I guess this’ll only be temporary, as always. The hackers will find a way! :>

As a pretty avid homebrewer with no pirated games on his flash carts, I’m really tired of being tarred with the pirate brush by Internet trolls.

I don’t buy computing devices that I can’t run my own code on. I don’t buy computing devices whose makers reserve the right to install code later that limits what I do with it, unless I have a pretty bulletproof way around it (like disabling the update manager on my Palm Pre, or disabling the network altogether on my Archos and my Wii.) I don’t buy “entertainment devices”; I buy computers, whether their designers intended their computerized nature to be hidden or not.

Sucks for Nintendo if their business model is incompatible with that, though I don’t think they really need the gadget-freak market segment anymore than I need to spend 40 hours staring at a 3″ screen to play Zelda.

Good. To all the flash cart pirates out there, SCREW YOU!

I hope Nintendo sticks it to flash cart users, and really fights to keep their system free of all the cheap, lazy, parasitic, thieving pirates that are leeching off the real gamers and harming the overall industry.

I don’t think 1.4U is out in America yet.

The Acekard site says that they’re working on an update for people who haven’t updated yet, because once they do, then there’s nothing that can be done. So hopefully…

Guess that’s another month or two in which I won’t be buying a DSi. I think that by the time the homebrewers really have their way with it like they did with the Wii, I’ll have enough games to play on my Palm Pre (and there are zero now, by the way, except for some rudimentary homebrew) that I won’t care anymore. Even if not, I’ll probably be looking at a jailbreakable iPod Touch to play games on, not the DSi.

I have no idea whether Nintendo’s DS success will continue with the DSi, but I’m getting less and less interested. They’d have to make that Zelda game a DSi exclusive — and a mandatory buy, unlike Minish Cap and some other portable Zeldas — before I bought a portable computer I couldn’t install my own software on.

I can’t even download the update seeing as how my DSi keeps saying that the DSi system is up to date. It’s currently at 1.3 U

What gives?!
