Nintendo DS gets some hacker loving

You knew it would happen. The Nintendo DS has so many features, it's a hackers dream come true. Sure, Nintendo is notorious for dodging hacks but when they added Wi-Fi to their repertoire, they were just asking for that special attention. The beginning of the process starts here. It's nothing too sexy; just a method to capture Pictochat sessions. But it will lead to bigger things. Sexy things. The kinds of things that will have you plunking down 200 bucks so you can join the DS frenzy.

Awesome news, DS seems like a very good system to get some hacks going on, very interested in seeing this DS development scene thrive.

Where have the time go? Hacker hack DS too quick than I expect.

Is there some mod chip i need to buy to listen in on the wireless chatter?
Why would i need to 'plunk' down $200 bucks for a system that cost $150?
Also, wasn't the GBA hacked like crazy (linux, media players, roms, etc) without mod chips and has sold more systems than any console in history? I think Nintendo missed their opportunity to thwart off the hacks on that one.. Let's hope they slipped here too.

um, why would you want to view other peoples chat sessions? Seems pointless to me, but other hacking might prove to be useful.
