This has to be the crazy internets, but the original report talks about the widespread use of the R4 chip, which allows pirate game play... i dont know a single person playing pirated DS game...sounds cool though, i wouldnt mind trying out a few before shelling out 30 bucks.

Anyone else 'know' anyone with pirated DS games?

I know several and I mean several people who play pirated DS games on this site :0 I know a lot more that play them over here. It's way too easy to download the games because they're so small. I have a friend who has over 100 DS games by downloading... So, I definitely can believe this is true.

but 90% mana, cmon, i find it really hard to believe that the kiddies playing catz and horsez got them by illegal means

I dunno, kids are smart(er) these days. I know one of my friend's younger brother is about 9 and he is the one who first told him about the site where to get the games. It's just a google search away really. I will tell you that it's over 90% here that get the games via downloading or buying copies in the shops.

if its aid 90% in thailand i would have accepted it completely but the US, i dunno

75% of statistics are a lie.

Absolutely no way that 90% of DS owners are playing pirated games. They aren't that readily available. That being said, I know plenty of people with R4's.

Nah, definitely untrue.

i call shenanigans on this one

is there supposed to be some hidden image in that picture, or am I just wasting my time..?

*Play Portal*

So if this were true, 9 out of 10 DS owners play pirated games. Not bloody likely. I'd saaaaay 25% is more likely. Wow, but if it were true.. that'd be crazy/

I don't play any pirated software for anything. I am totally against downloading even music.
The consumers shuold support the industry. 30 bucks is really not that much.

I had no idea you could do that with DS games! I didn't think that paying 30 bucks was that big of a deal for a game.

Hi. My name's Happynoodleboy, and I own an M3 Real. On it, I play <bzzt>

Whoa... what just happened?

it would be 100% of DS owners but the R4 seems to be backordered everywhere

Funny thing is this article pointed me ot pirated games i didnt know it was possible.. Lets just say monday my flashcard too play "Backupped" games and homebrew and music and videos ect... will be here monday and i already have alot of "Back-upped" Files *Cough* ready :p

I'm not even sure what an R4 is...

R4 = win.

That is what R4 is.

Actual explanation: A card that you can put downloaded ROM files on of DS games and play them on the DS by inserting the card into where DS games go.

i have an R4.
