Nintendo blocks flashcards with DSi firmware 1.4.1

[RoMee]

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

I always thought R4 clones had the biggest userbase

the question is, is that does the new update actually block those retail games? because doesn't every flash cart use a little code from some shovel ware games?

sad face

i own acekard 2i and scds2, they would block those carts, i wonder if the iplayer can bypass this update?

LOL I Should think before doing things (How Am I Going To Play Pokemon White LOL)

I would imagine this new firmware simply does a RSA signature check. Of course I'm no expert on this. We'll just have to see what kind of "behind-scene improvement" Nintendo does this time.

funny stuff..I'm pretty sure they'll have a fix for this before the new pokemon comes out

Hmm... I better go and buy my DSI quickly before they re-stack the shelves with 1.41's...

I dunno but for some reason I had a feeling this would happen because of the recent price drop on the DSI.(over here as far as I know had a price drop...)

Lol only the Acekard and SCDS2 are affected... Sad day

 

[RoMee]

as long as I'm not forced to make this update, this won't effect me much

It Doesn't Really Matter To me Becuase My Bro Is Getting A Ds in 2 days I will use that (Suck It Nintendo)

Does the update just block Danny Phantom headed cards?

 

[AcekardFan]

Peace Guys I'm Calling It A Day Im Tired

 

[Schizoanalysis]

Can someone please test a Star Wars Lethal Alliance card?


I'd do it myself but I only have 1 DSi. and can't afford to lose it to the update.

Just tried M3i Zero and it doesn´t work.

I'm not an expert in flashcarts but i know the dstwo and ak2i got dual bootstrap icon to display when they are inserted in a dslite or a dsi.
I suppose they just have to display the dsi icon only now to fix that issue.

Right now I'm about to buy a DSi XL following 09/12 price drop. I just hope I don't end up one with 1.4.1.

pretty sure you'll luck out. I'll be NOT updating, and my DSONEi will remain working >:|

 

[cornaljoe]

If some cards still work doesn't that mean all Acekard and Supercard have to do is update their bootloader to fix this?

It's ok on EZ5i and Hyper R4i.
