When the Nintendo DSi launched last month, it had a bunch of nifty new features, and one not-so-nifty feature (if you enjoy playing games illegally)—the latest version of Nintendo’s dual-screened handheld made R4 carts obsolete. Now, I’m sure you have no idea what an R4 is, but believe it or not, some people use these devices to play video games new and old on their DS systems without paying for them. I hope Nintendo didn’t spend too long patting itself on the back for a job well done, because the DSi has only been out a little over a month, and already there’s a new pirating device on the market.

Called the Supercard DSONEi, the device is a flashcart designed not only to allow you to play pirated games, but to get around Nintendo’s pesky system updates. When Nintendo releases a firmware update that circumvents the Supercard, the DSONEi will also have a firmware update, putting you back in the pirating game. Of course, this only works as long as the flashcart continues to be supported, but right now it’s the only option you’ve got—other than paying for games legally and using the system how it was supposed to be used, of course.
