Nintendo's cracking down hard on hacking, but hackers are working just as hard to crack their consoles. While the Wiibrew community's working on cracking the latest Firmware Update, the Acekard team made some progress running their flash cart on the DSi.

It may be a while before we actually see an honest to goodness working flashcart for the DSi, but at least it's a start. Here's a vid of the Acekard's flashcart for the dubious:
