There are a lot of games and homebrew applications that people can use on their r4 ds cards. While I know that the chance to pirate is there – but then, it’s there with cd / dvd burners, dual tape cassette decks (Showing my age perhaps? ;-) ) and various other forms of gadgets that can potentially be used to copy or backup, or be used for illegal purposes. But there truly are thousands of free games and apps on website like http://www.ndshb.com and devscene.com that are free, legal, and made by developers for people with an r4 or other nds flash card.

Heh I think you're right Steve. But at this point the legality of running *anything* other than Nintendo signed code via cartridges or otherwise on the DS is a bit up in the air. So I had to make sure I covered myself in the article by making it clear there was doubt.

"purporting to be legal"? Some of them ARE.
