Customs seizes Nintendo R4 imports
Video game giant Nintendo today revealed the Australian Customs Service had seized a number of the R4 cartridges which allow piracy on its handheld DS and DSi consoles, as well as other game products claimed to be counterfeit.
“This is the first Australian customs seizure of game copiers of this kind,” Nintendo said in a statement this morning, which contained scant details on the raid. The company has not yet responded to an emailed enquiry for further details — including whether any charges have been filed as a result of the action or who was importing the devices.
The R4 cartridge — which is popular internationally — runs its own operating system for Nintendo’s DS and DSi handheld devices. Individual games and other applications, some of them purporting to be legal, can be downloaded from the internet as small files and simply added to the chip’s storage.
The cartridge is then slotted into the top of a Nintendo DS or DSi as any other cartridge would be. It does not permanently modify the handheld console. It is sold by a number of Australian and international distributors.
