DSTT

A Majikon [マジコン] is the word used to refer to devices that allow you to play opensource/homebrew games on a games machine - like the AceKard2.
Up until a while ago, one could do a search on Yahoo auction and come up with a load of results for these devices - until Yahoo put a ban on them.
However, traders have found an interesting way of getting around this - which only ended up working for a while.
These Majikon devices were listed under the name of "3777788". On a Japanese mobile keypad, these numbers represent letters:-
3 = D
7777 (7 pressed 4 times) = S
8 = T
8 = T
Which gets you DSTT = http://www.ndstt.com/
But it looks like somebody went and reported this to Yahoo and the search for 3777788 turns up zilch.
Via N Style.
Been using the AceKard2 to play homebrew games from my friend in Germany - been working extremely well so far.

Meh to the DSTT I say.... if I want a game enough, I would buy it. I like owning them. Like anime, heck, I'd buy it if it was released over here or even america.... But its more fuss to order from Japan...

Well they do have legitimate uses for people that own a lot of games. I rip all my DS games so I don't have to keep swapping them out. Ditto for my PSP and PC games as well as my DVDs, it's just far more convenient.
Homebrew's cool as well but I don't use it that much tbh.

I've heard of devices like that many times before, but I've never used 'em myself. I've seen some nifty homebrew games that might make it worth it, I suppose, but mostly I hear them talked about so folks can pirate games xD; Remember, kids! Always buy your DS games legitimately; better sales mean companies are more likely to spend the dough in order to localize more titles...! At least, that's what I tell myself, being I love weird games like nobody's business =w=
Still, that "3777788" business; crafty! Wonder if they'll come up with a new code in order to bend the rules? *detective hat* A mysterious mystery!

HAHAHAHA...it's just magic. Is the PS3 the only console that doesn't have opensource/homebrew games? Or do they have opensource already?
Pedobear approved
The PS3 allows for independent developers via the PSN, I believe. But since the hardware's so much more difficult to program for most people wind up going with the Wii or the 360 for making homebrew stuff.

It hasn't been cracked yet, about all they've managed is java games using the Blu Ray java support tho I think that then got closed. Tho Linux on it lets you do quite a bit.
I just want them to get rid of the ps1/ps2 region locking

I've never really looked too closely at any homebrew games to see if any catch my interest.
The only thing I've ever done is use a mini-sd for the DS to play old point and click adventures on it like "Day of the Tentacle".

I enjoy my M3Real Card very much. I do plan on buying games that I like, but only to support the companies that make them. I most likely will just give the game away to a friend after I buy it ^^I Its easier to have 1 card that has all my games on it than carry around 20 carts. Plus using one of these cards uses up less power (depending on brand), than playing the original cart.

gaming is an expensive hobby. especially when you've got all three consoles + two handhelds >_<
Lol at that code they used. I used to do that years ago for my passwords. they were all numbers . hahah

Didn't they also have the thing where they sold the right to buy DSTT? Kind of like how pachinko isn't considered gambling but you can still trade it in for money.
Student
"3777788", lol, that was a nice idea:) But if this was banned, they will probably soon use start using a new codename...

You do realize that not this is the way, don`t you.
Will take for example the Ikki Tousen game for the PSP.
The game is horrible. I can rant on it for hours.
The point is that if I spent 30$ or 50$ for it I would have been furious.
The quality of portable console games has gone down significantly over the past years, with, of course, a few exceptions (Dissidia Fantasy etc. etc.) for which I would be glad to give money, the same way I gave money for RE4, KH, KH2 etc. etc.
I, for one, will not give money for games I find as an uterly disgusting attempt to make some spare change.
But people with no orientation for the market will.
Yesterday I went to my local games store and took a look of the xbox 360 games. Madness followed. . . Golf = 60$ Bioshock = 60$.
What would you think a person with no orientation for the market do if he had to choose between the two? Buy the Golf game of course because its all green and pretty.
Yes,and while you are at it, why not buy some wii sports for the price of RE4, a Tennis game or two for the price of DMC? Fallout, Final Fantasy, examples are numerous, so are casualties.
If this continues every single studio will start making Ikki_Yousen_for_PSP type of high quality games with a great story and character design.
Hardcore gaming is what rises the lever and thus quality of production.
Sure a kid can have some fun with a Golf game and I find nothing wrong with that, but for the love of god, don`t put them on the same level as HardCore games.
My point being: we will not give money for shi*t as we can make that ourselves...
Don`t expect things to be fair, as they never are.
Raise quality, grab a hold of your selves, stop slacking off and then expect people to buy your poo.

Well, but even different review sites offer different opinions on games. Some critics might rate a game good while others bad. Though there are some games where the ratings are pretty consistent among review sites.

I'd love to support the original games, but games like Touhou you can't expect me to fly there ^^;
a guy who cares (sort of...)
I have a DSTT and I'm very pleased with it. Its simple and clean without any unnecessary addons (and you can change menu skins ^^). My main concern is that OS is not upgraded as often as in other cards and some opensource/homebrew games still don't work well :( .

I have one of the old super cards, it still works so I never really felt the need to update it. Plus I don't really play games much anymore. :(
I would say despite the gajillions of "open source games" on my computer (some literally open source) I probably still play the hard copies the most. It might be the nostalgia factor. Not sure... I hate to admit I've reached that level but I suppose it's true.

I love my R4 <3 hardly ever play my DS anymore though... getting older means less play time T__T

Interesting way to camouflage...the product's name...wonder if they will come out more??

I have my M3 Simply for games that I want to try out or games that I would probably not find anymore.
I have the Prince of Tennis: Crystal Drive game on mine. I doubt I'd find that anywhere having been made in 2005. The others are games that are released in other countries but not here. I don't want to have to pay import/customs aswell as the game price when I might not even like it.

When a game is good than I thank the developer by buying it. So I have an "open source" version of Chrono Trigger and Seiken Densetsu 3 only, both with a German fan translation.
Well, nowadays Chrono Trigger is out in Europe for the DS but in English or French only. That's Square's way to say "We love Europe" - beside the worse PAL versions of Final Fantasy.

Danny, could you PLEASE cut the cute 'Open Source' stuff please? You're talking about theft, about stealing software. It's really not at all cool, and you shouldn't beat about the bush with cute ways to soften it up. Stealing is bad.

What you on at? You have not tried open source home brew games? They are actually quite good.

You do realise people make free games that can be played on the DS right?
