WARNING: Fake NDS Emulator being distributed

[Asphalter]

There is a 32.3mb file named griDS-0.01.zip on the Internet.

The readme contains this text:


This is griDS, a new NintendoDS emulator for PSP based
on the open-source dsEMU from http://www.double.co.nz/nintendo_ds/dsemu.html

griDS is based on version 0.43 of dsemu from CVS

the features are mostly complete, though there are some porting issues still to consider.
to quit you must hard reset (sorry no callbacks !!)

copy EBOOT from appropriate firmware directory to memory stick,
extract to \PSP\GAME
put roms in \PSP\ROMS

BE SURE TO NAME THE FOLDERS CORRECTLY OR ELSE **** BREAKS !!

- griDS development team

I believe it is a fake. The EBOOT.PBP is valid, but the file also contains "GNAAGNAAGNAAGNAAGNAAGNAAGNAAGNAAGNAAGNAA" repeated over and over.

I have not run this file and I would advice people NOT to run this file. It may just display a joke message or damage your PSP, I do not know.

Or worse, upgrade to 2.00 firmware...

very interesting, not sure it will ever run good enough to play anyway but interesting nonetheless.

[FRanatic]

He's bumping them just to show off his stupid signature.
He's posting all around. His replies seem to be on topic, but arn't.

I'll report this guy once more.

Looks like it came from the GNAA (http://www.gnaa.us/) (a trolling group). IIRC this group did the same a while ago with a fake OSX torrent (an ISO file padded with "GNAAGNAAGNAA ...").

Edit: Failed to notice the date of the OP.
