    Do you think gaming would have developed differently had this been made in the 80's?

    You know, the 80's would have been so awesome if all of these Atari and ASCII games were made back then. I'd imagine the hype for remakes.

    @carrliadiere: Multitasking during your free time helps (I personally watch most of my TV shows during my lunch break on my laptop to unwind a bit, for example).


    This, well put into consideration the game itself has been out for a few years, and you can see if they committed only an hour a day to the project they'd have quite a bit of time put into it.

    Why's everybody pissing on Kotaku for reporting this? A flash cart is a tool. It can be used for legal purposes, such as homebrew games and applications, or for illegal purposes, such as playing illegitimate copies of games. It's up to the purchaser to decide what to do with the device.


    Saying that Kotaku shouldn't report this is like saying a blog about guns shouldn't report any new models of firearm because they can be used to kill people.

    I had an R4 card with my DS and it is the only reason I played it for 2 weeks. Even with all of the games ever made for it I still hated the DS lite. Damn me and my freakishly large hands.


    When they going to make a handheld for the people with rediculously large hands? Xbox got it right with the original duke controller.

    It seems sort of unethical to tell people about a product used to break the law and steal games on a respectable gaming news website.


    Here's hoping they come up with something some day that makes piracy more trouble than it's worth. The PS3 seems to have done a good job.

    @Valnen: Only reason PS3 is so pirate free is because nobody cares enough to screw with it. They've already got a pretty good thing going in the pirate realm of the 360. Why start over?

    360 and PS3 still suffer from piracy but on a much smaller scale since technically if you get caught they can lock your machine out of the online services.


    I have a DS Lite and an R4 card. I went out and paid £29 for GTA Chinatown Wars yesterday though. Not everyone with one of these cards is a pirate. The same with my PSP. I just prefer to be able to load five of my games onto a memory stick as opposed to carry around stupid little square plastic things that cost £30 and get lost easily.


    I would argue that the biggest factor contributing to piracy is over pricing. Some kid on pocket money has to either convince his parents to buy him a new game, save up... or look on the internet.


    Steam and sensible pricing seems to be a good way to reduce piracy too.


    At the end of the day it is these kids who will grow up and wonder why there are no decent games being made anymore.... ITS BECAUSE YOU STOLE THEM ALL AND PUT THE COMPANIES OUT OF BUSINESS.

    @Shredator: Until the day they offer Sam and Max: Hit the Road or Day of the Tentacle then maybe. But it's not pirating because I own those games. My point was that those things are used for more than just piracy.

    Pirates are theives. Stop trying to convince others that what you're doing is right or ok just so you don't feel bad about the fact you steal.

    I realize this is most definitely news, but I hate the thought of you guys advertising the existance of a piracy device here. Maybe you could've just said that a company had invented one and not named it? It's like the way the Pirate Bay controversies made that the biggest torrent site around due to mass media exposure - it only helps the pirates.


    I know people would have found it on google five minutes later but... I don't know. Piracy bugs the hell out of me.
