Looks real enough to me. But there isn't anything that special about it if we don't know what's behind the pic. Is it a flashcart launcher? Is it a Wireless launcher ( lol ) or what? It does say Flash launcher, but onw hat is it running? What Cart?

Seems fake.

The fact that itīs the same game gives it away. I probably is 2 pictures that is displayed on different DS:es. Why donīt they show different gameīs on each picture, relase a video or something more trustworthy?

I hope however that im wrong, god only knows how much i would like a NDS loader. Go go to the group/person that releases an DS rom loader first.

One thing makes me suspicious. Look at the left bottom corner near the thumb of the guy where the shadow of the thumb is casted on the DS but not on the screen. But it also could be a simple JPEG filtered with some scanlines and converted and thrown on the DS. Also the scanlines dont look very real for me.

The screenshot looks fake to me. Looks photoshopped.

found this somewhere.... you can see it on your own DS according to the nfo where I found it. As far as I know that particular picture from the main news is phony (I recall seeing that particular pic displaying a real NDS screen for subpixel font demo over at gbadev wrather than the overbright/too clear one pictured), but I dont know about any of the others as SMT could very well be working on a loader, but whether the final one will be internal or not is another story entirely.

edit:/ I just hex edited the attachment and removed the ndsmall 1.0 loader off the beginning, loads perfect in Dualis as it is only 2 jpeg or similar images (one for each screen) so prooving that a phony would not be all that tough to do on even real hardware.

One of the pictures looks pretty real due to the lighting conditions. However just because the picture is on a real screen, doesn't mean it does what people think it does. Anyone could write that with enough time, as all we see is a static image displayed on the DS. That's not hard to do.

The original picture was fake.
The bluring wasnt right, the thumb shadow wasnt there due to the lighting effect to get the backlight to shine through, the edges weren't cropped enough and the corners werent rounded.
The 2nd picture is real. This is because once everyone started rumouring its authenticity, they put the pictures in an nds file, and took a photo of that. But the program is 100% fake, or unreleased as of now.

Oh, and I tested it myself, I personally can confirm that its just 2 pictures. That, or i have games I never knew I had.

Well if he actually loaded the file and saw 2 screenshots then we are certain it's just fake

It's most definitely fake.. I can vouch for it personally, since i have the file with the 2 pictures.

no disrespect but because u have the file with the pictures u can verify its fake? i never jump to conclusions because thats when things turn ugly. if its fake it will be proven and if its real, well it will be proven. only time will tell and anybody that was around for the first xbox chip by enigmah that had the video of them booting games knows that nothing is as it seems because everyone knew it was fake and everyone that knew it was fake bought it.

I wouldn't mind it being fake so long as it lets me load software for the NDS. Really it's too early to know anything definite. Like you said, in time we will haev a better idea.

Don't you guys remember one of the SMT nfo's? It said at the bottom something like this
"And good job everyone for thinking GST = SMT, we will now reward you with the holding back of our nds loader"

And the pictures say SMT.

whackawookie, If you want the file, Ill send it you.

(i'll be taking it down soon)
Darkliquitt, anyone can make a picture and put SMT on it, it doesnt mean SMT have made the loader, or hoaxed or or what.

Also, there very well could be a loader being made and in beta, but this is 100% fake.

lol, like I said, the file I put there simply prooves how simple it would be to fake it even on real hardware....

Don't you guys remember one of the SMT nfo's? It said at the bottom something like this
sure do, in fact I also said elsewhere "quick, everyone stop thinking!!! Then maybe SMT will release their loader", if in fact they had one and actually intended to release it to begin with....

Keep your eyes open for the latest generic patcher/loader.
V1.1
We are terribly sorry for bug in the previous versions. Thanks to whoever pointed that out. I hope everyone will patch their files soon. We are also grateful for everyone that thinks that SMT=GST. We will now reward you with the withholding of our patcher.
Seems to me "they" (SMT) are just not willing to step up and proove anything, like that they didnt release the dumper simply to get everyone else dumping roms for expanding the list of GST encrypted releases, wrather than making Neo/XG buy and send them roms to dump...
