Nintendo 1.4.1 Update Fixes for DS Flash Cards

DS flash cards have been around since 2008, when the original R4 DS was released for the Nintendo DS and DS Lite consoles. Since then, a multitude of applications has swarmed over these cards in a race to see what fantastic uses can be had for them. Nintendo handheld consoles can now be used as MP3 players, video players, PDF readers, eBook readers and much more. Thanks to a growing homebrew population, there are also many programs now freely available for the DS that allow us to do many things traditional Nintendo games don't - and some that even let us (over a WiFi connection admittedly) use the Nintendo DS like a video phone!

However, the latest update, named 1.4.1U in the United States, 1.4.1E in Europe, and in certain areas of Asia 1.4.2, has rendered nearly all DS flash cards on the DSi and DSi XL consoles unable to function. Users are advised not to update their firmware on their DSi console unless they are completely sure that their card is verified to be compatible with the newest firmware. Nintendo claim that the newest update improves many of the Nintendo DSi's back-end functions but there has been no visible proof of this, which leads to the sad conclusion that the main purpose of this update was to block DS flash cards, which have served Nintendo's homebrew community well and are allowing the console to thrive.

Many manufacturers have now come out with fixes to the 1.4.1 firmware update problem, however. The first DS flash card to respond to the issue was the Acekard 2i, which has since patched its firmware to allow compatibility. The EZFlash Vi DS flash card was next to follow, claiming to be one of the few cards that the update did not affect and it seems that they were right. Finally, the M3i Zero has also released a fix for the 1.4.1 update, allowing it to continue operating as normal. Lately, as of late October, the iEDGE team have also stated they are working on a compatibility fix that will allow gamers and homebrew users to use their card with the DSi update, and that it should arrive within the next two to three weeks.

Nintendo 1.4.1 Update Fixes for DS Flash Cards

DS flash cards that are purchased from reputable vendors that stock genuine DS flash cards are likely to come pre-flashed and users would not need to flash their own cards (which can sometimes be dangerous). For this reason, do not end up with a fake card as these are unlikely to work with future Nintendo updates. Always purchase genuine cards from reputable online stores to ensure you are getting the real article.

StarCraft 2 Zerg Strategy Guide - Patch Update

Hi and welcome to my article. Have you read the Patch notes for the last Sc2 patch yet? In my opinion the changes are immense: Zerg are a lot stronger now and at the same time Terran got slightly nerfed.

What exactly changed and how does it affect the strategy in the StarCraft 2 Zerg vs Terran matches? Suddenly the Barracks have a prerequisite: The Terran players has to build a Depot before the Rax. It's a prerequisite. Over are the times of Barrack-first Reaper rushes.

When talking about Reapers there's even a second nerf: The Speed upgrade now requires the Factory in order to be researched. That's insane! That's why most Zerg players now expand in almost every ZvT match. Watch the matches of SlayersBoxer against FruitDealer that were played on the Blizzcon and see for yourself how immense the patch changes are.

And there are more changes to come! The range of the Roaches was increased and is now on the same level as the Hellion. Kiting your Roaches with Hellions is no longer possible - in my opinion the Hellions were just too strong against Zerg anyway. Hellions are still scary but a lot less dangerous than before.

Anyway, let's head on to the next change. Medivacs need slightly longer to accelerate to full speed. That might be only a small change but it made the Terran army less mobile and Terran drops less dangerous. If the Terran wants to use Medivacs he now has to focus more on their micro or he will lose a lot of them to your army when he tries to drop on you or build a large M/M/M army.

Of course the other Match-ups changed as well. Roach range is always relevant and the unit became much more viable.

On to the StarCraft 2 Zerg vs Protoss match-up.

Now, for example the Void Ray got a bit weaker than before. They deal less damage when they are fully charged. Using your Queens to stop Void Ray harass got even easier and you should be able to defend well against it.

Just build more Queens as usual. You need to know that the Void Ray damage for the lesser charges was increased so that Void Rays deal actually deal damage faster.

The only gameplay that hasn't changed much is the StarCraft 2 Zerg vs Zerg match-up.
