As #2, let me add PuzzleManiak, ScummVM (all legal games I have CDs for, plus Beneath a Steel Sky), Video Games Hero, DiceWars, DScent and AmplituDS. I also have physical copies of six DS games, which I loaded most of them on to pick and choose from when on the go.

For commercial games, I either pay for it, find a freeware/OSS equivalent, or just play something else. I don't need to, nor desire to pirate games and it does gall me to hear all the experts here ignorantly stating that "everyone who has an R4 is a pirate". I imagine the many many other posters here that have stated otherwise are also rather annoyed.

What? You do know the R4 has an SD slot, and it's not a sealed flash cartridge. It would be super easy to tell them apart.

I have an R4. All of my games personally dumped from games I own (NDS Backup Wi-Fi Tool rules), but some of the better games are 100% homebrew - VideoGame Hero and DScent are two that I really enjoy.

So "entirely for counterfeiting and piracy"? My lone personal example proves you 100% wrong. Thanks for shopping.

So did I. Generally wasted money.

Check out the number of apps on maemo.org: Maemo5 (n900) - 80 apps, OS2008 (n8x0) - 493 apps. Think you'll find the app you need in there? The odds are against you. These are the hard numbers from standing behind a fairly commercial-hostile platform...

If you're ready to vote with your wallet, you should be willing to give software developers some of that cash.

Submission + - Safari for Windows Gets Better Security

NoPhD writes: PCWorld is running an article that Apple has released Safari Beta 3.0.1 for Windows, an update to their recently-introduced Web browser for Windows XP and Vista. The new version is available for download from Apple's Web site or through the "Apple Software Update" application (bundled with QuickTime or iTunes for Windows). The security improvements in Safari Beta 3.0.1 include correction for a "command injection vulnerability," corrected with additional processing and validation of URLs that could otherwise lead to an unexpected termination of the browser; an out-of-bounds memory read issue; and a race condition that can allow cross-site scripting using a JavaSscript exploit. Apple notes that these security issues to do not affect the Macintosh version of Safari 3. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,132883-c,browser s/article.html
