Nintendo DS R4 and Hacks Now Legal

http://www.cubed3.com/news/13382



Nintendo has just lost a huge court case. A judge has ruled that Nintendo's method of using flash cards resulted in them illegally locking out 3rd party developers from utilizing functionality of the DS.

What does this mean? It means that previously "illegal" methods of hacking the DS such as with the R4 or supercards are now deemed legal.

Now, before you go crazy pirating games, I have to clarify. The buying and selling of R4s are legal and can be utilized to play games homebrews and backed up games, but the pirating of DS games are still illegal.

Sorry folks. :(
