Nintendo can go to hell, nothing is illegal about homebrew. They're just pissed off about it because THEY don't make the money on it. Too bad, so sad, my heart bleeds for Nintendo.
Let them make the stuff people want, and we'll buy it. If they won't make the stuff people want...and ignore a cetain section of their audience (old school gamers for example) well, then they can piss up a rope, we will find a way to have that which our little hearts desire.
Nobody makes money on homebrew, it's free. If you don't like that Nintendo is trying to protect themselves from losing money to people pirating their products, then don't buy a DSi in the first place. You want Nintendo to cater to "old school gamers"? Isn't that what the Virtual Console and emulators are for?
Yes, that is what emulators are for. AND NINTENDO IS TRYING TO SHUT DOWN OUR ABILITY TO USE EMULATORS WITH THEIR CRAPPY UPDATE THAT SCREWS THE FLASHCARTS.
And, no kidding no one makes money on homebrew. I knew that. It is just that Nintendo hates homebrew, because THEY (Nintendo) aren't making money off it.
Sorry, I'm just royally pissed at Nintendo. I got screwed, because I bought a DSi, without knowing they could do exactly what they did.
The update has been beaten, well and good...but there will be a next time, too.
That's WHY I gave my mom the DSi, and took back my old DS Lite...I now own three more DSLites still in their original boxes. Going out and buying those was my reaxtion to the 1.4 update.
I'd never have bought a DSi in the first place if I knew they (Nintendo) were going to be crappy about them.
A few pirates are NOT going to kill Nintendo. Piracy is wrong, I don't much like it, either...but, damn, they act like they are dying from it, and they aren't. The music industry acted the same way with Napster. And that was no different, essentially...than what we used to do when I was a kid...swap cassette tapes and dub them. It didn't bankrupt the music industry then...and copying won't do it now, either.
You mean to tell me that your new generation of kids today don't sit there and rip their CD's to their computers, and then burn copies for their friends...basically the same thing as dubbing was for us back then.
And it didn't kill the industry then, nor will it now.
The only difference is that...those other methods are not traceable, whereas downloads are.
I'm sorry, I have a REAL hard time feeling sorry for a big, huge multi-billion dollar multi-national corporation that is whining about a couple of lousy pirates out there...and thus, in the process of fighting them....squash us in the homebrew community. I don't like being in the crosshairs as an innocent bystander in someone else's war, okay?
