Actually, devKitPro is the freeware alternative to warez. It's still on sourceforge, might want to get it while you can.

[02:02:02] <WinterMute> smea got arrested while he was in japan

Is what concern me the most of the IRC logs Oo

 

[Ace212]

Just a warning to anyone using it. I myself will be distancing myself from such warez distributors like devkitPro. Too risky.

Nothing to worry about. To my knowledge WinterMute is just redirecting traffic to http://83.138.166.114/

Let's not get into a frenzy.

What does that have to do with anything?

Oh, I don't know, it just provides a screenshot that, indeed, that's not a made-up website?

Besides, devkitPro is a very respected toolchain in the scene. Nobody's ever doubted their legitimacy. They don't have a reason to pull a prank like this unless they're begging for a fork.

Respected toolchain or not, some people just want to have fun occasionally. Not every toolchain dev is anti-fun.

You can check the IP yourself if you want, it should be exactly the same as the one i listed, im pretty sure that IP is a fake site, either that or its real and hes just redirecting it anyway, we will never know. Pretty sure he outright said it too.

This may come as a surprise to you, but not every conspiracy theory, such as yours, happens to be necessarily true.

all purpose tool-chain kit for Nintendo products. Not all, but a good handful.

It was a thing (don't know the termanology) to help a person build things for 3ds,wii,wii u,gamecube, DS stuff like that.

Also, it's still on fucking sourceforge so.....

 

[SaffronXL]

I'm confused... So was Smealum busted? Or was that just a horribly timed "joke"?
