3DS Update : Big Brother Mode engaged

This may be a first for a handheld, but as of this new update it is now no longer possible to graph unauthorized hardware to the 3DS, or unauthorized software as the 3DS now is enabled with a killswitch to shut it down if you try to mod it with software amd tech forbidden by Nintendo.

I'm going to take it, then, that the makers of PSPVC might as well scrap plans for a 3DSVC version as no doubt that'll trip the killswitch. Ditto with anyone's plans to mod the 3DS, all sniped in the bud before they could launch. Oh well, sorry.

But still this wasn't unsuspected. We knew the 3DS was going to be region locked, we just didn't know that would require a virtual gun being pointed at 3DS owners heads.

Next update should be Nintendo Video. Stay tuned.

3DS System Update Info (June 15th 2011)

Not much but most important for you Ridge Racer 3D owners.

- Improves stability again and improves the 3DS overall... check out my 3DS Episode 4 commentary as to why you will never see plug ins like adobe flash player as something made available to any handhelds in the future.

- The freeze up problem with Ridge Racer 3D caused last update is fixed.

- Now you can download updates from wireless internet sources that you can add to the 3DS... guess this means stuff you find from Nintendo sources like McDonalds and Starbucks and the like can now be added to your 3DS. Guess I have to check that out myself in the future.

Now checking to see what is new with the 3DS Shop.
