Nintendo blocks flashcards with DSi firmware 1.4.1

[cornaljoe]

Seems like Sony is rubbing off on Nintendo. They're like: OMG, Sony came out with an update that blocks an exploit a week after it's release! Maybe we should do something too...

I knew it! This is why I don't have wifi enabled on my DSi XL. I knew it was only a matter of time before they blocked it. So now it is time to figure out exactly what they did in this firmware and see what can be done to get around it.

this is scary its FlashCart vs DS again...

i wanna see who will be the first to bypass the update... (R4i Gold again?)

 

[ChuckBartowski]

The way Flash Cart makers were dealing with this problem was bad enough in the first place. Hopefully this will make them find a better solution.

[trumpet-205]

Did they force DSi to use RSA check this time? Or was it something different?

we may most probably see a work around but since this came way after 1.4, it might not be tht easy

Thanks for the info, but please change your name. It's misleading because the real AK Team has a GBAtemp account.

"Behind the scenes".................Come on Nintendo. Almost a full 13 months since your last update and you can't come up with anything new? F*ck you!

They're the leaders in 'innovation'

EZVi and IsmartDS both work on this firmware, it seems nintendo targeted only AK2i and Supercard as they have the largest userbase.

G'dammit, Nintendo. You're worse at this than Sony. You're not even using the carrot and stick method (giving rewards in exchange for flashcart usage).

EDIT: Someone test the DSonei.

Seriously? What about iEDGE and M3i Zero? I can't believe Nintendo "selects" flashcart block this time.

 

[felixsrg]

So nintendo is aiming higher this time huh? so are the Acekard and Supercard the only ones we know the 1.4.1 block?

Nobody. I just want somebody to test it, as it doesn't use Danny Phantom or Fish Tycoon.

And I mean that they would include new features with the 'piracy' killer (what Sony has been doing with the PSP for a while now).

It seems strange that Nintendo would just block a few cards when they all use the same exploit.

If anyone tests any other cards please post and I'll update the list on the portal.
