gbatemp.net — Costello:Our friends over at GBArl.it report that a new type of protection was found in the commercial DS game cart Jet Impulse/DS Air. We don't know exactly the differences with previous hardware yet, but this game cannot be dumped with the usual methods.

Dump? The hell is dumped?

Actually, it is illegal to reverse engineer and emulate a closed, patented, proprietary platform like the SNES. NES is fair game now that the hardware patent has lapsed though.You really should start reading those EULAs that come with all games and game systems today. You would be surprised at what you are agreeing to when you purchase this stuff. If the EULA says that you can not make a backup copy then you can't. Simple as that. Don't like the agreement you enter into by buying the stuff then don't buy it. If you don't think s**t like this should be legal then run for office and do something about it. If you aren't going to do either of these things then shut up and sit down, you;re making an ass of yourself.

Pikachelsea:You do realize that just because Nintendo says something is illegal doesn't mean it is, right?Now how about finding out the actual facts:<a class="user" href="http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-digital.html">http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-digital.html</a> (note the .gov)Can I backup my computer software?Yes, under certain conditions as provided by section 117 of the Copyright Act. Although the precise term used under section 117 is “archival” copy, not “backup” copy, these terms today are used interchangeably. This privilege extends only to computer programs and not to other types of works.Under section 117, you or someone you authorize may make a copy of an original computer program if: * the new copy is being made for archival (i.e., backup) purposes only; * you are the legal owner of the copy; and * any copy made for archival purposes is either destroyed, or transferred with the original copy, once the original copy is sold, given away, or otherwise transferred.

Dominatus, you've still proven nothing. Stop acting like anyone who is copying these games is doing it for "back-up". They are dumping the games for piracy reasons, and therefore breaking the law, according to your own reference.

@CafeCafe43I agree, but people are ranting how Nintendo are doing something illegal baised on the ever changing American copyright system, fact is this new chip as only been released in Japan. Its silly to rant about something when you have noidea about the laws of the country on Japan
