Supercard remains confident it can break Nintendo 3DS’s anti-piracy protections
Unfazed by the threat of new anti-piracy measures and automatically updated firmware for the Nintendo 3DS, flashcart manufacturer Supercard is confident its device will run on the new system – at least in standard DS mode – according to a report from GBAtemp administrator Costello, who claims to have spoken with the team.
The Chinese company believes the onboard CPU in its DSTWO cart, which allows for Xvid/Divx playback and improved GBA/SNES emulation, offers opportunities for the firm to find a workaround to defeat whatever protections the 3DS might have quickly.
Of course, Supercard could be blowing smoke to convince everyone into buying its products, as no one really knows how advanced the 3DS’s security will be – we still have more than four months before it releases in Japan (five until it hits North America), after all. The company says it will work to defeat the 3DS’s countermeasures as soon as the portable is available to the public.
For those of you who haven’t followed the battle between Nintendo and flashcart manufacturers, Supercard was the first company to get its device running on the DSi’s recent flashcart-blocking 1.4.1 update after just a day.
