You thought that you had to choose between your pirated games homebrew and Facebook? Nope, the DSi already appears to have been cracked again.
While the latest DSi firmware 1.4 tempted users with social networking on Facebook, it also blocked infamous R4 cartridges, a popular way to load pirated software on the DS/DSi. But according to this clip, Nintendo’s efforts were again futile, as pirates have already circumvented new security measures.
The moral of the story: The DSi, even with its aggressive PSP-style updates, has no more chance of preventing piracy than the DS. [Kotaku]

I would definitely say so.
Report PermalinkAlso Giz writers, you should also mention the 1.4 update blocked practically all the other flashcards that worked on the DSi, some being the AceKard2i, EZFlash Vi and a few others.
The R4 is practically an entry-level flash-cart, but I didn’t expect it to be cracked this early, but eventually, I’d say we’d get the flash-cart fixes on the day of release for new firmware.
