A British high court has ruled against R4 companies Playables Limited and Wai Dat Chan. It is now illegal to import, advertise and sell R4 cartridges in the United Kingdom. The R4 emulator carts are used to pirate Nintendo DS games. According to website Develop, the court set a legal precedent by ruling the carts were illegal because they bypass
