Looks like Nintendo is going after peeps on Youtube who make videos on how to install CFW, Stream without a capture card etc. In short anything related to 3ds modding is being targeted.

Worst hit is Yakara Colombia (AFAIK he's the dude who left his otp.bin in a zip file and caused multiple bricks), his channel is being shutdown in 7 days.

Yep, it was Yakara. He in fact edits files and claims to be his own. Safea9lh by Yakara ..lol

As per @KunoichiZ
YouTube's giving Yakara 7 days to remove the Homebrew videos, not that his channel is being removed in 7 days. According to someone on reddit, he's moving his videos to his own website.

I think Ninty is going after CFW and trying to make a point before the Switch release. Maybe they are trying to send a strong message or something.

What does the community think?

And can I just say finally? I'm so hoping that this happens to a lot of videos, so that we won't be seeing random, terrible, outdated videos posted here anymore. Those people may have put in a lot of hard work to make their tutorials, but that "hard work" will always be outdated by the glorious guide made by Plailect.

Are you sure.

Youtube T&C say something else. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2814000?hl=en

If you receive three copyright strikes:

  • Your account will be terminated.
  • All the videos uploaded to your account will be removed.
  • You won't be able to create new accounts.

I only said that because I saw it on a comment on a thread similar to this in r/3dshacks. I'm not sure if it's true or not, as they didn't provide a source. We'll need more info from Yakara to see if his channel being removed in 7 days or all he has to do is delete his videos in 7 days. I just asked the guy where he got his info from.

People need to treat YouTube like how we (are supposed to) treat GBAtemp. It's against the ToS to post a video with links to wares either in the video or description. I suggest to put a pastebin containing the illegal download links to try and mask them with legal looking zip file names (like: kitty_pics.zip) with passwords (like: smea_loves_rimjobs) that you get from watching the video.

I mean just keep it on the down low and you'll be fine.

lol this is why we use 3ds.guide

still a shame that this is happening, but it was to be expected
Not a shame, now finally people will stop using outdated shitty YouTube tutorials and properly use the guide
Thanks Nintendo, you are helping people hacking the console the proper way

Unfortunately, that's not gonna stop them from bricking. Noobs can brick with Plailect's guide because they can't follow instructions.
oh yeah, I have been part of many of those threads.

  • I pressed the wrong button hence I dont have a backup
  • my sd card was low on space so I skipped the backup part
  • I didn't think this was necessary so i skipped it

It's been a fun experience ever since I joined gbatemp a few months back.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
