Homebrew DevkitPro shut down and seized by authorities

[BigPanda]

I'm surprised that if the police take your domain, they don't also redirect all the A records to the police site.

why is all this happening so fast? sites are going down and hackers arrested. Scary shit man.

Probably just a joke, homebrew is not illegal (At least in certain countries)

It's fake. Smea posted something to Forestride, roughly 30 minutes ago. But he deleted it lol.

Depending on the jurisdiction, circumventing the protection system of a console can be illegal.

That being said, in regards to the circumstances of DevkitPro and smea I'll remain sceptical until I see more definitive proof.

They do. They seize the domain from the registrar, heh.

I'm starting to accept the fact I'll never see gcc6.2 on devkitarm. Rip lto.

DKP has no reason to be seized. Except if they use code from the real devkits, they're legally in the clear, right? Did it replace the whole server, or was a DNS record changed. If so, we could visit the site using the original IP.

Might wanna fix that 403 Forbidden error on your site.

 

[mudlord]

Done, and may I say GBATemp is shittastically slow. I am on a 50/40 connection and even somehow the forum manages to lag, everything else like the wiki runs fine.

 

[WillTheLion]

It's back up.

No word that I've seen on whether anything about smea was true.

 

[gnmmarechal]

Soooooooo lol

Than isn't it just a modified computer language compiler (c++, java) with emulator support. I don't see any reason for it to be taken down since its kind of like other program compilers.

What? Emulator? What are you talking about? devKitPro is a toolchain for various platforms, compiles to those platforms. Emulators are unrelated to it, as far as I know. Calling it a "modified computer language compiler" is kind of stupid...

 

[Space_Goddess_Samus_Aran]

its not taken down

Yeah it's up now. So it was fake or a troll or something I guess.

Why would a site Admin of his own site wanna troll like that for? or was his account jacked
