For the price of a GBA SP, you can now be the proud owner of
a Super CARD
& Super PASS bundle designed to play Nintendo DS ROMs from an SD card in your DS. Sound too good to be
true? Well, it is, in a way… the add-on in question is certifiably the work of pirates most
definitely a boon to people who want to pirate games for the DS. Sure they sell
some legitimate
games, too, but what's with the the 10 pages of "Full demo version - not for commercial use"
NDS and
GBA ROMs arranged for each system? Uh, yeah.
Ah, video-game piracy... the hidden
underbelly of the interactive entertainment industry.
Okay, maybe it's not so hidden these days—what with the
impact it's had on high-def disc standards,
hardware
launches,
big game
releases, and
firmware
patches lately—but at least major pirates don't usually
send out press releases touting their copyright-flouting ways. (Apparently NDSBuyer has.) Or put the mercenary likeness
of Boba Fett onto each bundled item they sell. (Which they've done.) More instructions on how to operate the device can
even be found from another source here. So,
how many days do you wanna bet it'll be until Nintendo sends
the big cease-and-desist? We'll be counting.
