If you’re anything like me, you’ll understand that rather than being a bane to Nintendo and Sony they breathe new life into portable consoles. The DSi has its own hacking cart, the Acekard 2i that lets you run homebrew and backups and, when it’s available here, will even let you Tweet from your DSi.

While I don’t want to condone piracy, these things have breathed new life into my DS and actually made me think about buying games again.

The cart supports MicroSD and MicroSDHC cards as well as Action Replay cheats for those times when you need a little extra boost. It can also play MP3s.
