That's an interesting thought. I don't think it would be entirely possible. First off, it may require the source code of the cart to do any real damage, knowing how the internals work, the firmware, etc. As well, I think it might be noted that this software is specifically aimed at the DSTT, which means that these things are most likely cart specific. If Nintendo were to release some cart bricker, it would probably be targetted at the famed R4, or even perhaps the DSTT, asides from that no other cart has gained enough attention to be deemed quite dangerous. Of course not having the actual software this is all speculation, I'm not entirely sure what to think when it does release, it is great in the fact that it will kill clone carts, probably drive up prices, lots of pros and negatives that I don't really want to speculate.
Bri said:But even if a fake DSTT can't be destroyed by a program, that still begs the question of whether it is possible for a commercial game to detect and then corrupt your microSD card. I would think that would be relatively easy to do. Can a commercial ROM utilize DLDI?

Aleatz said:No. No one personally. I thought I saw it on here, but I think that I was just imagining it or something. I guess we'll just have to play the waiting game on that one.
But I reckon it wouldn't take them too long to copy that packaging. I suppose it depends on a number of factors, but if they caught wind of it early then who knows?
Exactly as it is suicide for ndstt.com to be doing what they are doing. Those guys have managed this issue very poorly.EmperorOfCanada said:That might be smart in a way, but if they ever went that route it would be suicide for the company publicity wise

Actually, I think the way ndstt.com is handling it is quite clever. If they ever follow through with their threats it would be a big mistake, of course. But I'm guessing they never intended to follow though.
Time will tell, but the threats themselves seem to be working nicely to curtail the selling of clones by stores like DX.

That seems to be logical as the fake R4 suppliers did this to most people when the resellers noticed they were "different".Bri said:I doubt that DX purposely lied to anyone. I think DX's supplier probably lied to DX.
