This should be obvious news since Nintendo built the DSi with a new firmware, but it doesn’t work with existing flash cards. Sorry, legitimate homebrew community. How do we know this for sure? One Nico Nico user tested twenty eight different flash cards. I can’t believe this many flash cards exist in the hands of a single person.

Nico Nico Confirms it: DSi is dead.

Well there are two choices. Make a better Flash card or Exploit ways using the SD card capability.

It will be done...eventually

Loading homebrew off an SD card would be better :D

Has anyone tried a GnM yet?

[trugamer]

I think we can safely assume the GnM doesn't work, that looks like an Action Replay Media edition in the picture which is basically a GnM and Action replay shoved together, so if that doesn't work neither will the GnM.

He could work in a store that sells them?
He could be a developer of homebrew/commerical software (Yes, commercial developers use flashcarts as they are better than the 'official' dev kit as they can hold more than one NDS file at a time).

A lot of people tend to forget, it's not only Nintendo that makes the decision to block flash carts. They have a responsibility to the companies they issue their licenses to develop to block piracy.
