NDS Backup

Aoi-chan having a few rounds of Love Plus. Was suprised to hear many of my female comrades love the game too - any of you playing?

In the past, Nintendo has tried many times to crack down on companies that make backup devices for the Nintendo DS - the devices known as "Majikon" [マジコン] in Japanese.

Nintendo released a statement yesterday outlining how they have tried for the past two years to get rid of these device makers/sellers. What Nintendo done was to mainly send a bunch of warnings which got soaked in water, swallowed and dumped with the rest of the undigested corn and spinach.

Apart from saying that they are now going to actually sue these sellers, Nintendo have also taken a new strategy to try and get the public to report sellers flogging these devices.
Nintendo have set up a form which you can use to grass on sellers on and offline - would you if you spotted one?

Walk into any convenient store in Japan and more often than not, you will see mags published with the specific purpose of teaching folks how to use/where to buy and where to download roms for these devices.

Get along to Amazon and you will see such a publication. Have a look at the related items and you will see a ton more.
Have a feeling that these publishers are going to have to go a few rounds in the ring with Nintendo.

I was rather surprised when I saw them in the convenience stores/book shops. Inside there would be links to a load of sites on where to download roms and where to buy the devices.
Do they have books like this in your neck of the woods?

An article by Brian at Kotaku notes how folks using these backup devices range from female students to businessmen.
