Voice Actor Comments on Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut DLC
19 hours 17 mins ago
With the recent release of the Nintendo DSi in Japan this week, hackers went to work to test the homebrew capabilities of the new system.
They unfortunately discovered that all of the current aftermarket homebrew cartridges and techniques do not work on the new DSi.
No official word from the Homebrew community as to new hardware or new developments, but you can rest assured that there are plenty of teams out there trying to crack this puzzle.
ahtin has reported that the R4 DS (an auto-booting slot-1 cart), when inserted into the DSi, in fact does NOT automatically boot up, and fails to appear at all in the new revamped DSi main menu (which is normal behaviour for an auto-booting cart). The EZ Flash V on the other hand (a non auto-booting slot-1 cart), does in fact show in the DSi's main menu, but when launched generates an error which prevents it from loading any further.
Whether or not the new flash cart "prevention" on the DSi can be disabled or worked around is yet to be determined. Once more people get their hands on the new Nintendo handheld revision, we'll undoubtedly learn more about why this is happening. Perhaps it could be something as simple as an update in the carts loader/firmware (at least in the case of the EZ-V), or perhaps something a modified firmware (ala. FlashMe) could fix. But of course, only time will tell.

All the more reason not to buy a DSi!
If they would face the friggin' fact that Homebrew does attract all kind of people to the portable consoles they wouldn't try to get rid of these tools. But they are basically paranoid of the piracy.
Hell not even Sony is like that. I'm sure Sony knows what the Homebrew community is doing for them. I hope that after putting all this restrictions on Nintendo systems, they release the trick they have under their bed; if they have one at all.
Not to mention it sucks to begin with.
It won't be long before someone exploits the built in SD card slot - mark my words, just give it some time.
It'll be sorted in next to no time.
PSP's are old news.
