Nintendo Fights Back

I've been waiting for this ...And it seems Final fantasy is the launch vehicle.

Is Nintendo adding copy protection to DS games? Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates for Nintendo DS is in stores today, which of course means that the pirated ROM is all over the Internet. But the underground is getting tripped up by what appears to be a new anti-piracy workaround. Users of certain DS flash cards, like the popular R4 device, are reporting that after twenty minutes of playing Crystal Chronicles, they see the screen below and the game ends -- just as if they were playing a demo.

    Good for them - solves the problem of releasing demos anyway.

    It was fixed by updates to the firmware for all the cards last week or so.

    Believe it was called "MoD" or moggle of death
    They promised the earth...and delivered mud. Technically though it did meet the spec.
