According to Maxconsole, a French court has ruled against Nintendo this week in its case against the Divineo group, a seller of DS flash carts which allow for homebrew, and the playback of music, movies and pirated games.
The court said that Nintendo is "purposely locking out developers" and they should allow anyone to develop applications, especially those that increase the usability of the handheld like flash carts do.
Technically, the case says that flash carts are legal, at least in France and likely for the rest of the EU, and could also lead to Nintendo being forced to open the handheld up to more developers.
