This.
This device is crap. It's vastly overpriced, it is only 1:1 so you need to constantly write the card to pick another game(or need to buy many cards which adds to the cost), it is not region free, it doesn't allow homemade software.
It is just a way to monetize the exploits, instead of developing a softmod with many more capabilities and no need to buy overpriced junk.
I guess that is what Neimod's and Yellow8's policy of not releasing the exploits to the public lead to. Piracy will still run rampant, and will just make rich some chinese people...
Yeah sure dudes, you protected the 3DS from piracy right...
This is almost classic rant material.
I suppose as it is the only device capable of doing what it does it exists in a kind of quantum superposition of crap and good by virtue of not having a reference point.
Overpriced probably falls under the same thing as above
"1:1" I thought this was a softmod launched thing? 1:1 typically refers to a device or subset/section thereof that actually straight up clones things.
Region free and homebrew. Certainly very desirable though we have to debate at this point what level of control the softmod in question affords and if it is a potential future option.
"It is just a way to monetize the exploits"
And? I suppose we could debate the relative merits of monetisation of mods but that would surely lead to flash carts in general being discussed and it is the general position of the site that flash carts, mod chips and more have their place in the world.
"instead of developing a softmod"
Computer/electronics courses/info at the level you would likely need to crack the 3ds are readily available for free on the internet. Depending upon your level of skill the tools to flank it are well within the hobbyist price range.
You will not get any discouragement from most around here for giving it a crack.
"[Neimod and Yellow8 and not releasing exploits] Yeah sure dudes, you protected the 3DS from piracy right..."
Is that their job?
