nVidia’s Tegra to be the chip inside the next Nintendo DS (rumor)

Since Nintendo’s traditionally been an ATi customer, this would be a major win for nVidia if true.  Personally, I can’t wait for more smart phones that are based on Tegra…

Currently, we have no information what exact chip is being used [just that nVidia won the contract], but with the debut set for February 2010, the second generation of Tegra chips could make an excellent base [to be launched at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona].

Wii 4.2 System Update Breaks Homebrews

Wii 4.2 Update - Killing the homebrew channel

Nintendo has release system update version 4.2 for the Wii and it seems it’s purpose is to do nothing more than cripple homebrewed systems.  The update will remove the homebrew channel, as well as the most important couple of cIOS’ most homebrewed Wiis might have installed.  The guys over at WiiHacks are already talking about some quick fixes for those that accidentally upgraded their already hacked systems to 4.2, but buyers of new systems with the 4.2 update already installed may have to wait a short while before hacking up their new toy.
