It's not a *bad* idea, it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway. It's going to make things interesting to say the least.
Also, +1 on how the hell the coders managed to pull this one off. My 0.02$ is that they probably got some "help" in releasing this, as it's going to make the news, big time. News = publicity for a very overlooked game.
Ninty's probably waiting for everyone to talk about this now. And giggling like a schoolgirl.
Um... No. That's certainly not true. If anything, this is damaging Nintendo. Also MPH has been hacked before by the guy who also unlocked the Mario Kart tracks. I don't know if he is connected to this trainer but he didn't seem like that kind of guy.
Explain why. With arguments. Right now, it's a potential internet shitstorm. Just like "OMG THEY MADE A REMOTE CONTROL THEY'S GONNA PHAIL", and "LOL THEY CALLED IT WEE-WEE LOL I MAED A JOEK LOL". We'll see if this piece of news manages to reach the bigger newsfeeds.
Publicity = good. The game sells like shit, I don't believe MPH had a huge fan following / community, so they can allow this game to be broken since nobody cares. Tell me how "damaging" this is, since the game is already not popular? See how much people talk everytime something is cracked? There's a newspiece on /. for almost *every* time the PSP's firmware is cracked, for fuck's sake!
Then, when the news dies down, Nintendo can decide to ban flashcart users. They'll find a way... It was *also* bound to happen any time, as well, and this is the perfect excuse without having to sound too "evil" towards the homebrew community. They might let it piss away, but I doubt that.
Plus, trainers are fun. I wanna try floating around in morph ball mode, now
