I'm pro-piracy (Well, more like a software liberator) and I'm all for getting rom loading going from bootup of the system, through system updates. We just need to keep plugging away. Nintendo will eventually get tired of this cat and mouse game.
I don't know what to call myself, but piracy is only okay to me if I either

- have plans to buy it if it's good, and delete it if not
- have no chance of being able to afford in in the near future; will thus buy it if i can
- literally unbuyable

I don't really care about ROM Loaders, but it'd be nice to install CIAs of my game hacks instead of having to delete and swap around my save when running HANS with a ROM hack >_>

Until the pc game Blur becomes available on Steam or Origin again, I'm going to keep the pirated copy I have. I don't want the retail disc, I want a legit digital PC copy.

It doesn't.


No.


No.
Really? Seems pretty similar to me. Both redirect the file access to let you load different code and data. The underlying code is probably vastly different as they are completely different consoles after all, but they achieve very similar things.
Are you just saying that because you don't want people to look into it? Because if you remember what happened with the Wii, Team Twiizers said DVDX couldn't be used for piracy but it wasn't long until someone figured out a way to do just that.

RAM editing =/= loader patching

One thing that nobody has mentioned is that everything that HANS is capable of had already been done by @cell9 through NTR.

Why is that important? Because everything NTR can do is done without ARM9 kernel access, it's all ARM11 hacks. Specifically, it's achieved by having ARM11 kernel access.

And what can we do with ARM11 kernel access? Install "legit" .cia games.

If HANS does indeed use an ARM11 kernel exploit, then that'd be one major reason for @smealum to want to keep the source code private.

HANS cannot be used as a network debugger so what you're saying is not true.
ARM11 kernel can be used to downgrade.

Thank you @smealum for hidden source code but thank you for Ninjhax 1.1 whose exploit has allowed me hack more the 10 3DS and install "backups" in these :)

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.

  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
