Acekard team got their flash cart running on DSi

Nintendo's cracking down hard on hacking, but hackers are working just as hard to crack their consoles. While the Wiibrew community's working on cracking the latest Firmware Update, the Acekard team made some progress running their flash cart on the DSi. Don't whoop for joy just yet though - this is only the lab version.

According to the team, the hack is "almost impossible" to release as a commercial product using their method, and that the new hardware functions of the DSi (such as access to the SD card slot) is inaccessible using the normal DS mode.

It may be a while before we actually see an honest to goodness working flashcart for the DSi, but at least it's a start. Here's a vid of the Acekard's flashcart for the dubious:

It's kind of sad I join just to say that you all need more writers. This news is really not new anymore, try to be more reliable so people come here first ;). Don't worry I'll still come here BTW I don't know why they showed us this if they don't plan on releasing anything, and say it's impossible.

What's the point.

Wanted to write about this earlier but it got backlogged. Hoped people wouldn't mind it a bit late since they didn't release anything but the video anyway. Guess I was wrong ^^ Glad you're sticking with us though



I think they showed the vid just to get some publicity for their cart to people who stuck with their DSs. If DSi also gets hacked by someone else, they have the advantage by saying "we contributed."
