We at PDRoms usually don’t care much about commercial products, but this news is pretty interesting.

Quote from akayuki.com:

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates shipped to North American retailers today, and interestingly enough include a new copy protection scheme that attempts to discourage players from using unauthorized copies of the game on certain DS flash cards.

People using the R4 and M3 flash cards will be greeted with a “Thank you for playing!!” screen after twenty minutes of playing.

Cute, no?

In general the PDRoms team highly suggests to buy games you like to play, after all people are putting their heartblood and sweat into games, and everyone has to pay his bills – even you! Use flashcards for homebrew, this is legit and nice, but please, buy things you like if you can afford it. Thanks!
