Hear hear. It's always bothered me how people condemn flash carts saying they are used for piracy, and yet nobody complains about iPods, DVD recorders etc. The items themselves are not immoral, unethical or illegal; it's the person using them that is. Can't wait for some fantastic homebrew on the DSi when it eventually comes out here in Aus. Well said Johnny! Hear hear.

We all know that’s a codeword, though.' Nonsense. Sure, there are many people who will want to run roms on these cards but then there are many people who will stab you with a knife... doesn't mean that knifes are not for cutting food. These carts are valuable tools for homebrew developers, like myself, who enjoy writing code for the DS in their spare time. I encourage this activity as I see it as a legitimate use of the hardware you have purchased. I do not condone piracy of videogames and anybody asking my advice about carts for such a reason gets a less than friendly response. Your assumption that homebrew is an excuse for running roms is offensive and displays a remarkable naivety with regard to this subject. ‘Of course, the official reason these types of cards exist is to support homebrew.
