The ruling merely sets a precedent. However, it would still be up to a court to judge in each individual case. If someone is offering cartridges alongside with items/services geared toward musicians, (prosound modifications, LSDj-MC2) I think it would be much easier to convince the court that you're not merely selling thinly veiled piracy devices.

"The court affirmed that game copiers first circumvent Nintendo's security systems before any non-infringing application can be played on Nintendo's handheld products"

EMS carts aren't bypassing any sort of security parameter, nor do they modify it in some way like a modchip.  granted, i'm not in the UK, but it seems like the element which the courts took issue with (the intentional disabling/bypassing of the lockout/security whatevers) isn't an issue with this earlier generation of technology.

They mention DS and Wii specifically but (IANAL) I believe it applies to all copying devices.

Source on that? Consolegoods (also UK based) has stopped offering EMS cartridges and is claiming that this is due to PayPal's policy, not the law.

The problem is, if you have a shop you have to tell your customer if and when you're not able to process the orders, because that's how you run a business.
That said, I hope I'll get my money back soon.

All in all, someone just earned a cutomer. I'm looking at you kitsch tongue

Kitsch is the man with the goods wink

I ordered another a couple of days ago & after reading this I'm worried it won't show up. As I understand it, he's a teacher(?) or something, I guess it's understandable if he's just busy. I will report back soon.
