DS Flash Carts Deemed Legal By French Court

Posted by timothy on from the not-open-like-all-the-french-consoles dept.

Hatta writes with a snippet from MaxConsole: "Nintendo has today lost a major court case against the Divineo group in the main court of Paris. Nintendo originally took the group to court over DS flash carts, however the judge today has ruled against Nintendo and suggested that they are purposely locking out developers from their consoles and things should be more like Windows where ANYONE can develop any application if they wish to."

    If Atari had been able to legally keep out competitors, the best Atari 2600 games would never have seen the light of day.

    They would have seen the light on Atari 400 or 800 home computers or perhaps Apple or Commodore machines, not the Atari 2600 VCS, but they would have seen the light of day nonetheless. One big difference between then and now is that unlike all video game consoles and 1980s home computers, entry-level Wintel PCs can't display on an SDTV without a $40 adapter.
