Gonna go with this.

And you also have a pretty nice DS hacking community moving from one console to another. You'll have plenty of people trying to crack it. Or just make flashcarts. Who knows.

I'm pretty sure it's just another bluff, this generation they made two of the easiest consoles to pirate on. I don't think they'll end up like Sony's fortress of a PS3 next gen.

Ya mean 3 consoles: DS, Wii, DSi

Hmm, what if that was true? Too bad it's not. All most hackers enjoy about hacking a console is the FREE GAMES!!
Actually my favorite part of my PSP being hacked is portable youtube, cave story, extra video file support, a semi-decent web browser (for a pocket device), and emulation of older systems.

AND free games......lmfao.

I also like flashcarts and CFW for emulation and awesome homebrew; it really opens up the console.

But I also enjoy the free games.

On a side note, I'd love for Ninty to make their own flashcart of sorts, allowing one to get free homebrew and purchase games online. I think it may make the games far cheaper, because it would eliminate the cost of shipping, packaging, production (carts), and in-store mark up. With all that accounted for I'd imagine the games to be at least 25% cheaper, if not more.

Your a douche for spamming this thread with your douchiness!

I'm a douche for mocking douches! That means you're a douche too! It's a never ending cycle of douchiness!

If somebody released a CFW for 6.x that enabled homebrew but stopped loading of ISOs and CSOs, I'd consider upgrading if there were some really useful features (like 6.4+) because the majority of stuff on my PSP is homebrew and non-PSP games...

Though, do PSX games that aren't available through the PSN count, or do those side with emulation since they're not being mass-produced and such?

soon there will be an R4 3DS!
compatible with all 3DS games!
amazing realtime affect!
"what sets R4 3DS apart from other R4 clones is that ours is a clone".

In a matter of time, anything can be hacked. Just wait. I'll buy regardless of hack status.

There's a good chance that the first revision of hardware will be the most exploitable anyway.

What, because you can't be a pirate? Way to be a douche.

hey. your a douche.
And I can't afford to buy a new console AND new games.
So he is a douche for telling you to do the right thing? That makes completely no sense. Does that mean that you have no real games and every console you have, you pirated all your games? If your not going to buy it b/c it can't be hacked is just plain out stupidity! If its such a big deal that you will only buy it when the 3ds is hacked, then why don't you just hack it yourself. Consoles are not made to be hacked, they are made to be enjoyed by gamers.

Yea. Well I have a PS3 and alot of real games that are actually worth the money. But for a DS, I'm not willing to pay €40 for a crappy game that I just can pirate for nothing. And if I could hack the 3DS, I would, believe me. And ofcourse they are not meant to be hacked. But It's just way easier and faster than actually buying it. And yes, I am lazy. And you are easily offended by something I said which really didn't have a meaning.

Anyway this is all baseless speculation, but I guess versions of this thread will keep coming up until the 3DS comes out..

I think 16 is old enough to get yourself a job, my friend. Just because your mother won't buy you all the games you want...

Funny that you mention this, because I'm starting 16 august

And believe me, my mother will never buy a game for me. Never.

Lol. Us silly dutch people with our silly sayings.

Anyway, I will definatly buy it.

If it's not hackable, I'm happy I will finally be able to enjoy games again (FU PIRATE SYNDROME).
And if it is hacked, I am so gonna do 3D homebrew.

Well if it's not hacked that's OK by me (like wabsta, I also happen to enjoy more games when I have to save money to get them, gets me a sense of satisfaction when I play) but if itm is so then I hope games aren't region locked, because then since I live in America I'll be stuck playing English Pokemon. I've always downloaded/imported Pokemon from Spain so I can play it on Spanish, so it'd be a pain if I couldn't either import it or download it from there.

The DS and Wii are based on cheap copyright measures, they decided to go cheap with the whole architecture (still sold very expensive in my opinion) so the whole mod-chip/r4-cards/softmod stuff happened...they try from time to time to fix one hole, but another one pops up.
If this time they care more, use a good architecture (which can't be emulated or rebuild easily), it will not be cracked, or lets say, not very soon or an easy and inexpensive way (like our flash-cards).
If the next Wii and the 3DS will be more Internet-based, probably we will have one day even such a Situation like with the Xbox360, even the best Stealth Firmware can be check by micro$oft(after hidden updates or new check routines).. so this ban-waves occur from time to time.

time will tell
