Only years too late
So, R4 cartridges. These are the devices that allow gamers to circumvent the security measure on a DS to run custom code — often referred to as homebrew — and illegally download copies of games.

In these risk-averse times, publishers are increasingly relying on sequels to existing IPs to ensure that they turn over a profit.
