Pcworld.com writes "The following is a true story: I'm walking through San Francisco's Chinatown, down a well-hidden side street. The mysterious person I had contacted earlier on Craigslist had instructed me to stand near a trinket store at the corner of "Lost" and "Tourist." Eventually, a petite Asian girl walks up and asks, "Nintendo DS?" I nod, forking over some cash. She gives me an R4. All this trouble for what amounts to a cartridge that you pop into a Nintendo DS. Why do I feel so dirty? Because Nintendo--and some members of the media--tell me to feel that way.
Let me back up for a second. I love my Nintendo DS Lite. And Nintendo has done a fantastic job supporting this device. It's the perfect traveling companion--any platform that can have me defending castles one second and coming up with cooking recipes the next can't be half bad. (I'm serious about the cooking thing; right now I'm testing out the Jamie Oliver interactive cookbook and shopping guide.) But I've been wanting more."
Mega Mixtape has some good grooves coming in, and Gamerhub UK talks more with them.

There's so much homrbrew for DS which has nothing to do with piracy. I'm 100% against game piracy, but I have an M3 for all the cool things it offers.
Tracker (music creation) software
Ports of abandonware games like doom/decent/etc
Cool painting app
PDA style organizer
They are great little addons for the DS. It doesn't have to be linked with anything illegal.
I find the back alley story strange too. I bought mine in a regular retail store.
I love my R4 and my 500+ DS games stored on my HD. :)
For me it's a nice way to sample a lot of games on the market. If a game is really kickass, I buy the real thing.
r4/m3 cards are a pirate's best friend.
lol and some people are surprised they got rid of the cartridge slot on the new DSi?
I'll do what beethy does because I'm really pissed off that Nintendo announced a DS 1.1 so early, it will eventually have exclusive games (but of course, there aren't any right now because Nintendo won't make any effort), and of course, the upgrade is basically the same as the one from Gamecube to Wii, which is retarded.
Hell, that way I'll save so much money I planned to spend on the DS, that I could buy a DS 1.1 once its exclusives start to come out. Either that or a PSP-4000+ version, whatever happens first.
