Hacking Question What are you LEAST excited for hacking-wise?

[Seliph]

I think I know what you're talking about. I have beaten the first half of the game before, so I know that things don't turn out great for the first gen.

Yeah, I always love seeing people's first time reaction to that part.

I'm least excited for the noob questions, the prying of info from people towards devs, an eventual CFW war, pretty much every negative aspect about the 3DS hacking scene, it's just going to make it to the Switch.

Jesus Christ mate, as soon as I saw this thread I was gonna say just that.

Atleast this isnt a "can the switch play [insert improbable emulation here] post...

Least excited for the kids that post "hax for [insert firmware that patched exploits]?!?!?" Or "I want hax now!"... I dont want to see them....

Hey by any chance do you think the Switch could emulate PS4 games?

Well, it went something like, "WHAAAT, THEY'RE ACTUALLY KILLING THE MAIN CAST!! NO NO NON ONONO I'LL SAVE YOU GOD DAMMIT"

Honestly Save modding to deflect any need for amiibos for locked in game content, not everyone is willing to shell out money for every zelda amiibo to get all the outfits and weapons.

I am curious if say there was a Super Mario Odyssey leak, how crazy it would be. Banwave, someone mentioned that, oh boy it'd be crazy.

It got leaked... I'm playing it on an emulator on my Windows Macbook pro right now. It's pretty interesting because it's literally impossible to get a game over.

I recommend the Playstation Switch One, it's the latest and greatest in playing AAA wankery.

Mass piracy, online cheating. That's about it...

Oh wait, unless it turns into a Wii U "I'm going to release on Christmas" type scenario, that'd suck

Early piracy
Online cheating
Brickwares
Getting banned for playing undubbed/uncensored games

Spending two days on a guide that should take two hours because I'm extremely slow, in multiple meanings of the word.

- People expecting piracy as the norm and then being disappointed when the first homebrew release does not allow piracy. The same people who then rant online as if they've been robbed of something they're entitled to. Piracy will eventually happen, but it's wrong to expect that as the primary form of software distribution and then act entitled about it.

- Clickbaity YouTube video tutorials along the lines of "SWITCH HACKED - WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND" that are 90% self-promotions and remaining 10% consisting of broken/inaccurate/outdated instructions that will inevitably result in people bricking their systems and then posting waves of complaints here.

- People who fail to read instructions properly, resulting in loss of data or hardware damage or being banned, then posting complaint threads despite being clearly warned that all of the above are possible risks when it comes to console modding.

Despite the negativity though, these points are far outweighed by the things I am excited about the possibility of homebrew:

- Original homebrew content. The Switch architecture is supposedly easier to work with than previous platforms, and this presents homebrew developers with a better opportunity to present their own work. Things like games, unofficial ports, emulation, utilities etc.

- Enhanced OS features. The Switch system itself is already very good, but there is demand for features that Nintendo either are taking too long to implement or flat-out have no interest in adding. Features like the ability to backup saves, taking uncompressed screenshots, screen recording, or even dual-booting Android.

Everyone's worried about early piracy. Kinda ironic since this is GBAtemp.

 

[Risingdawn]

Idiots that don't read, understand and know what they're doing bricking their consoles and creating help threads.
