it's all thanks to firmware updates that makes modding and using homebrew much harder on current and future gaming consoles, it's extremely difficult to hack anything, and when future consoles have auto updates it's going to get even more impossible, i do miss the good old days of game genie, freeloader and action replay on the gamecube to bypass the region lock, you can't do things like that anymore and it's quite sad really.
to get my homebrew fix i have to use android, it's completely open source and provides all the emulation i need, no forced firmware updates, no bans, just mod away without a care in the world, good thing is major companies like amazon, google and madcatz are coming out with android gaming consoles so we have a bit more to play with in terms of homebrew, i think that is where hacking and homebrew will end up eventually, all the major players (sony microsoft and nintendo) have made it impossible to mod anything anymore but we don't need them anymore tbh, even the major modders themselves have said they don't want to waste their time with the wii U and prefered android instead because of how open it is, it doesn't help that android phones, tablets & consoles can now catch up ps3 graphics quality and it's only going to get better from here on out.
anyways i've had my say and i'm understand TC frustration with all of this, options are limited and all that.
that is what i would like to see PROGRESS on the 3DS but all we get is a half assed locked down flashcart that is struggling to survive because nintendo have already fried that flashcart with a firmware update before they can even release it, like i said before, i don't care anymore about homebrew support on the 3DS android provides all that i need without the stress of firmware updates (the 3D snes games sounds cool though but nintendo need to make their money from their 3D classic series so they won't be having it)

While the convenience would be cool if it were the starting point, I'd really like to see homebrew. better implemented multi-tasking. linking specific DS games directly from the homescreen for launch, instead of ugly lists.
and HOMEBREW. EMULATORS.
Imagine... SNES emu with specific layers set render with more or less pop than others. 3D SNES GAMES.
THATS what I'm holding out for.
