Question Does a Illegal Website Sponsor GBATEMP ???

[Gnarmagon]

Hello,

I just saw the Banner with the nds-card Website...(http://www.nds-card.com/)
and didn't Nintendo said that Flashcards are Illegal ?
Source (sadly I just found the German Post on Google) :/

>sold somewhere
>automatically illegal
Whatever

While flashcards are probably illegal, why does it matter? It's just a site and GBATemp has to get their money somehwere

As far as I know in a lot of countries it's totally legal to own one. But using it on the other hand...

I think Nintendo will never license a "Flashcard"

They did for the SNES Satellaview, but that's not quite the same thing.

@OP & Everyone: GBATemp started as a piracy site for GBA roms.

Nah, the Super Famicom Satellaview was nothing like a flash cart, it was developed by Nintendo. It was like DS Download play. You would download little demos or minigames on your Super Famicom

About Datel's powersaves. They aren't doing anything illegal as far as I know. They sell a third party device, it's not even using the 3DS in this case. Some magic way they can edit the savefiles and send them back. For all we know, they might actually have a real Nintendo key that they pay royalties or something for.

The modern version yes. The old models plugged into the console.

This entire site lingers in a grey area of legality. We don't provide anything illegal, but we obviously endorse illegal activity such as piracy. Flashcarts aren't directly illegal themselves, but they are obviously not completely legal either and their usage is obviously not just for personal backups.

We most certainly do not condone or endorse it (even the rules say so!), but we are ok with it being freely discussed. There is a difference

Fair enough

Sure, doesn't mean it's legal.

Sure, it doesn't mean it stopped happening. That game is for two players.
Also, user was implaying illegitimacy by state laws.
Stores selling them doesn't care about state laws nor n's paperwork.

Who/What is big N ?
Isn't it so that Homebrew has a .3ds and .3ds is used for Gateway,isn't it ?
I read that there was in the early times the only way to downgrade/cfw a Gateway Card or .nds Flashcard....

[WiiUBricker]

nds-card.com has been pirated? That's news to me.

Anyway, I think this can be locked now.
