How'd You Hear About GBATemp?

[VinsCool]

I only was lurking for years, most of the times linked from French forums, for homebrew releases and hacking topics.
One day, the Nintendont project was announced, then I started to slowly browse the site more and more, eager to try the first alpha of it.
Bam, it releases in November 2013, and I was amazed to be able to run (very poorly) Wind Waker off my SD card, using a PS3 controler.

This eventually made me look at GBAtemp more and more, especially the Nintendont thread, that I was the most active into during my first year in here.
One day of January 2014, I finally signed up, then started to participate. First almost exclusively in the Nintendont thread, afterward, a bit of anything over the entire community.
This made me keep coming back days after days, and I slowly forged my place in here, and I'm still very happy to come in here everyday, after 4 years.

It all began when I searched up, "How to hack Wii U"

I remember buying a gb gamejack and a 16mb cart for my gbc in 2000 or so, importing a gba from japan in 2001 and buying a flash2advance as soon as they got released... as far as i remember i found gbatemp because it was one of the few places where you could talk to people owning the same stuff, and i think i used to come here a lot to get ips patches too. nostalgic stuff lol

I was originally led here by GodMode9, actually before I had my 3DS hacked. I liked the site, and soon after I registered to ask how to get my 3DS hacked. Thanks @vb_encryption_vb =)

of course, the infamous FidgetSpinner3DS,

Oh yeah, that garbage homebrew app that got onto TitleDB! I actually tried it because I thought "fuck it, let's try it" and it's actually not even a very good program.

I found out about it in January 2017 when i was looking for a way to hack my 2ds. I asked a question about it and just never left

The GBA came out, carts were able to be dumped, and this site appeared. I joined.

ProjectPokemon. Someone linked to this in a thread there, that's it.

 

[DarthDub]

Googling Wii hacking back around 2010/2011? Wish I had joined back then.

 

[supergamer368]

Wanted 3DS/Wii homebrew stuff and this websote kept coming up. Seemed like the people here were nice enough, so decided to join. But boy was i wrong /s

I've read about it from KiVan, from a random ROM hosting website's tagboard/shoutbox, before it even existed
common ROM websites had only old releases, so KiVan said he will make his own repository with latest always up to date dumps.

 

[PriMieon]

It started with the Wii hacking scene and Flash cards. I just love this site

While there was more "competition" in the GBA era GBAtemp was even then the pre-eminent one and most searches for things to do with it would wind me back up here.

I was not really into commenting on the internet back then though so I mostly skimmed it, or indeed the last ?? posts on the front page, whenever I got linked during a search.

Later most searches landed here so I started keeping up with things, around the same sort of time as I started doing the posting on the internet thing.

The day I signed up was a day of high traffic or something and was made mandatory to view. I still wonder if I was the first after that as it was almost a "press refresh and oh" thing. It would however be some time before I started to post in earnest here. The DS was already a thing by this point and it eventually started all that I liked from the GBA, except better still, so I stuck around for that. The 3ds was a bit of a wet fart and the switch is shaping up to be the same but there is still enough going on that I stick around.

I came across this place when I was modding my wii.

I lurked around a good while before signing up, was over on the IRC server back when the site and the server was more... dubious. I think I came across it from an internet search (not sure if it was Google at that time ) or if it was from other IRC servers.

3DS Hacking and Homebrew

 

[Veho]

I was reading up on the GBA Movie Player V2 and stumbled upon the Temp. I lurked for a bit, and when they included the mandatory registration to view threads, I registered, and here I am.

 

[Monochrover]

I don't know if it counts, but looking up hacks and seeing "gbatemp.net..." probably helped.

 

[leerpsp]

I really don't remember but i'm happy I found it and here.

I believe I came here from the Supercard forums since GBAtemp had a lot more content that wasn't just specific to the Supercard products.
