Homebrew Clarification Thread - What is going on?

[Xenon Hacks]

Even if it takes months, I think that people should still be happy because they are getting free piracy on all firmwares, and the developers aren't getting paid for doing it during their free time. They are doing it for the community. So, please, be patient.
I know that not everyone wants piracy, but still, most of the people here just want this. I don't care if people pirate. But to the pirates: you're not buying your games, so at least, please be patient.

Hoping we get a few firmware updates in between patching like when Nintendo took 3 patches to fix Emunand on N3DS

I know this is going against all the idea of homebrew and hacking, but sincerely, I would really not mind paying 5 or 10 bucks to get the exploit. I would find it completely normal, rewarding the work of someone who put his will, time and skill to develop something.

I assume that's because half of it was the easy part. Now comes the finesse part which'll probably take awhile.

The only difficult part, but that is quite difficult, is to map the SlabHeap correctly (i.e setup the fake memchunkheader correctly). The remaining steps should be easy to do or have already been successfully implemented (for ex. the 'race condition' part).

For sure, but then, people don't need to be impatient like that, should go buy a Gateway, and maybe that Gateway will release it faster than the community.
If people don't want to pay for that, they just wait. They don't need to make the developers rush their work just because they don't want to pay for their games.

I wouldn't either, but you have to keep in mind the audience of people most likely to benefit from this. A few people would buy it and the rest would download it off that iso site when someone inevitably uploads it

^ This. This all the way.

Oh this is nothing related to the time needed. I completely don't care about the time it takes, for me, something must be released when it is finished, polished and flawless. I want quality, and for that quality, I am more than ready to pay something and reward the dev, since I cannot pay him for the work he did by buying the product, I will donate.

Most likely you'd have to donate to each of the developers (not sure how big the team is) donations of someone's own free will is probably the best way to go. It keeps the community open and people don't get greedy (not that anyone here would, just keeps people honest) and shows that the developer isn't really in it for the money, more for the education and community benefit that comes from the software.

The thing is even donation can be inappropriate when it's about enabling piracy.

The thing is even donation can be weird when it's about enabling piracy.

Some people got their PayPal account blocked because they were accepting donation for this kind of projects.

Paying for their services, no. Donating , however, yes.

Were the devs charge for the exploit, they would be in big trouble. Nintendo could easily sue them for earning money through their hardware.

However, the devs are doing this , absolutely for free and that's the best way for a community like this to thrive. And I thank them.

Donating to them would be an excellent way of gratitude for those who can donate.

 

[Seriel]

Some people consider donating to be commercial, so it would be almost the same as you charging for it.

It is a moral gray zone JustPingo. For me, an ideal world would enable me to pay 20 or 30 bucks for month, and allow me to legally download from the net any game I want. Or more money, but enough to justify paying the devs. But unfortunately, that implies dealing agreements with game devs for those kind of contracts, and many more complications. And even if we could do that, there is still limitations that the hacking scene allows us to bypass, like new ways of using our devices, or in my case, being able to play a translated version of a Japanese game. But still, I deal with my consciousness by knowing I buy enough games a year to justifiy what I do, even if it is not perfectly legal.

Put the donation under another reason, like when wine was banned in america for a period of time, then companies selling the wine bricks told you what you shouldn't do to make wine accidentally because that would've been illegal, why would anyone do that?

Like just a general donation thing not tied to any of the projects or donating to beekeeping or something.

We are patient.
It's little kids who come on every forum yelling "where be mai roms XD"

 

[foreveryang]

where be mai roms XD

 

[Filo97]

where be mai roms XD

Or in italian: dove saranno le rom?

To this I say; "where be mai CIAs"

 

[BasedIndex]

Were there any updates on who actually takes part in coding memchunkhax2?

Nope. A lot of noobs think to can easily use .3ds files so your phrase is incorrect
