    I will buy original games for the 3DS though I never bought a ds game legal before.
    And I will not try to test my flashcart on the 3DS until an other idiot tried it before me :p

    Same here, I guess it must feel great to buy a legal game ;D And I wonder which idiot would want to spoil their flashcarts >:D

    enough r4-noobs will try it for us,
    not knowing that it could brick their card :p

    I think we will know it in about 1 week if it would brick our flashcarts.

    50 clicks?

    I always find my sites after the first page. :p
    I google very specific stuff...not general words.

    Even if the 3DS could be hacked in under a day Nintendo would never admit it (duh).
    They need to keep fighting piracy so that game developers actually keep developing games on their systems and not move onto other handhelds.
    I think they have done pretty well so far considering how easy it is to get illegal NDS games.
    I mean how many people know they can download NDS roms, but don't download them? Can't be too many.

    but the lesson best learned here is that as long as you have a device then i will be hacked and pirated

    Not true...Sony's PSP, PSX, PS2, and now PS3 have been "hacked". Or been able to do something.
    Of course the PS3's "security" is flawed, but you can't do anything with the exploit as of now as a consumer. You have to be a hacker like GeoHot, who unfortunately left the PS3 scene just like he did with the iPhone due to assholes that kept raging about how they wanted updates...

    Microsoft's XBOX can be soft-modded to play emulators and burned discs. Their 360 can be either flashed to play downloaded games and also it can be JTagged to allow it to use downloaded games from the live shop or homebrew.

    The DS Phat/Lite can be flashed to allow the DS to boot a GBA cart into NDS mode.
    The DSi/XL has still to be hacked...
    The Flashcarts don't hack the system. It is something different entirely. :p
    The Wii HAS been hacked succesfully and very thoroughly on every firmware as of 3.2 to 4.3.
    The GBA/GBC haven't been hacked. They also just use flashcarts to allow the system to play downloaded games.

    There's a difference between using a flashcart and rewriting the firmware to allow the system to surpass it's limitations, such as the Wii, XBOX, XBOX 360, PS3, and the PSP.

    Most of these 'hacks' use a modchip, but you don't need a modchip for any of them in reality. There are swapdiscs for the PSX/PS2. You can soft-mod the XBOX, Wii, and PSP. You can change the DS Phat/Lite firmware to allow it to boot a GBA cart into NDSm, but it's stil not the same as hacking. :p

    But the PS3 still has yet to do anything like the Wii/360.

    And that sounds confusing becuase it was random and sporadic. ;P

    nintendo wont brick systems in fact they probably make money because people buy a ds knowing they can get free games

    that is where they should look for their money and they should feed the homebrew community cause every so often a brillitant idea comes along and then they can sponsor the creator and hire him as a designer for future games,by killing the homebrew they are just keeping to their paying developers who might roll out a good title once in a while

    Not every console has been hacked. You have to use a cartridge on most systems that take them still.
    DSi still hasn't been hacked.

    For Sony. That's 1,2,3,4,5...
    For Nintendo..that's...1,...2.... :p
    Microsoft is 2 as well.

    Thats what Flashcards are for(running it diffrently than stock is hacking) and the DSi has a cart called the DSTWO that works wonders

    Flashcarts don't hack the system. It just uses the system as a conduit to play roms off of the cart. It does nothing to the system software or the hardware.
