Looks like Nintendo’s efforts for thwarting piracy has gone by the wayside as the “Acekard Team” have just announced the “Acekard 2i” which will enable Nintendo DSi units to run homebrew and backup ROMs.

It’s not in stock yet, but now that the floodgates have been opened, expect the other flash cart groups to bring their own renditions soon after.

If you need seven minutes worth of proof, don’t fret. You can watch the video below:

If you picked up one of those new PSP-3000 with their controversial screens, you may be wondering when the crafty homebrew scene will hack the thing. Well, your wait is over because Datel has your answer in the form of their “Lite Blue Tool”.

This little thing will enable your PSP 3000 to boot into the PSP 3000’s service mode where you could do wonderful things such as install previous firmwares and eventually custom firmwares. No instructions or videos on how the process will go down, but it is a retail product so I would imagine that it will be easy as pie.

The Datel Lite Blue Tool will be available on November 28^th, 2008 for $29.99 USD.

It must be pretty exciting turning a homebrew project into a commercial product. I’ve tried the demo of RealTechVR’s No Gravity and it was pretty damn impressive for a homebrew game. That was a year ago and judging by their most recent trailer, they’ve improved considerably.

According to the official website, No Gravity is scheduled to be released this summer via the European PSN Store. Can’t way to try it again.
