EZVi update bypasses DSi 1.4 anti-flashcart protections.

Nintendo’s efforts to lock out game pirates (and their devices) with firmware updates have taken another hit, as EZ-Flash revealed its own hardware update enabling EZVi flashcart owners to once again play homebrew and/or pirated games on the system.

Unlike the R4i Gold team’s update, EZ-Flash’s fix can be applied with a patch users download and install with a DS Lite or a non-1.4 DSi. EZVi owners will not have to purchase a new device to take advantage of this.

I expect Acekard, DSTT, M3, and Supercard to post similar patch updates for their respective carts soon. Perhaps R4i’s developers will return to the drawing board to produce a solution that doesn’t shaft current R4i owners.
