Latest 3DS system update cracks down on flash cards
Last week, you may have noticed that your 3DS required a system update. What you probably didn’t realise, however, was that it marked a major victory for Nintendo in the endless battle against video game piracy and the dreaded flash card cartridges people use to play pirated software on their system.
Most system updates have included some sort of anti-piracy measure in the past, but flash card manufacturers have almost always found a way to bypass these restrictions so their cards will work again. This time, however, is different, as according to the makers of the SuperCard, one of the more popular flash cards:
“The 3DS system has been updated to 4.4.0-10x. Official information indicates improved security. We researched immediately and found out that the 3DS system update detects save IC on the PCB. On the current market, most cards are without save IC, so are blocked now. This is a hardware defect, software can not solve it. So 95% of the cards in the world have been blocked.”
Now if that’s not a slap in the face to illegal cartridge manufacturers then I don’t know what is. Well done, Nintendo.
