Nintendo Using New Chip to Combat Piracy

***wraggster*** · February 11th, 2007, 00:03

Nintendo are now using a new chip called the Matronix Chip in the game DS Air,

Heres what was posted at an hacking site

A possibly new protection method was implied to the latest NDS Game Jet Impulse/DS Air. Two of our suppliers have tried WRG DUMP 1.4/M3 and got the same dumping problems. This game is 1Gbit in size and uses the Macronix chip. A noticeable fact is that this is the first 1Gbit.

Nintendo Fighting back at last ?

this could be a problem unless its only that game.

I'm pretty sure Elite Beat Agents is 1 Gbit (128 MBytes), though I don't know which one was released first.

there a lot of games that are 128MB

True, look at Elite Beat Agents and Resident Evil - Deadly Silence..

Way to go Nintendo. No more piracy for me. You never know, if your game is defective or not.^^

This isnt the first 1 gbit game.

**woods05** · February 11th, 2007, 03:29

this is good, no more stealers.

what about people who back up their cartridges just in case something happens to it.
