At launch of the 3DS I told myself I'd pick one up when a working 3DS flashcard comes out that can play 3DS roms. I stopped following the 3DS "hacking" scene, and with all the new awesome titles announced, am I better off just buying one now? Will there be a 3DS flashcard released to the public anytime soon?

If you care about the games it has already and the new (awesome) titles announced, then Yes.

If you wanna feel a proper 3DS hacking experience in your hands, then No (a pretty long lasting no).

I doubt there's going to be any hacking on the 3DS for a long time. The 3DS is a great system though, so I'd say just get one, and enjoy the games.

You should just say fuck it to 3DS flashcards and buy a 3DS XL already.

Damn it, why people wanna buy a 3DS when a flashcard comes out JUST to play free games?

Seriously, a lot of good titles are gonna be released for the 3DS: Donkey Kong Country Returns (yes, the Wii one), Mario and Luigi Dream Team and more.

Well too fucking bad, they should buy the damn games, not wait for a 3DS flashcard (I doubt it would be released, its been almost 3 years and no flashcard)
DSi and PS3 say "hi". Also it's been two years, way less than the PS3 took.

Personally, I'm itching to buy a 3ds XL.... but I don't want to TOO badly. There aren't too many games I'm DYING to play. Once Rune Factory 4, Phoenix Wright 5, Phoenix Wright vs Prof. Layton, and Dragon Quest VII comes out, then I'll probably start feeling the need to buy it regardless of the availability of hacks and piracy.

After the launch of the 3DS, I waited it out. Then came the price drop. Then the 3DS XL. By this point, I figured that unless Nintendo decides to pull a dick move and announce a NEW 3DS at this year's E3, I decided to pick up the Fire Emblem 3DS XL console. I also kinda lost all hope for a 3DS hack to play 3DS roms but then again anything could happen.

A 3ds firmware hack (read: not flashcard) will never happen let alone one that lets you play 3ds roms.

So knock yourself out.

    @K3Nv2 what was your ps4 situation
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    did you always have a ps4 you never updated
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or were you able to get new ps4 tracking it \
    as soon as the hack was announced
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or did you have to find a used one with the lower firm ware that was not updated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps3 really has no titles worth going online
