Nintendo & GBAtemp

[TrolleyDave]

Nintendo wouldn't have issues with this site if they made the DS more accessible for developers who want to make their own games, with the 360 and PS3 having downloadable games and Wiiware available, they really need to make handhelds like the DSi as well as the Wii more friendly towards those independent groups who are making their own homebrew games and software without the need for software mods and hacking. I mean shit, some of the stuff available for the DS in terms of homebrew isn't that great, doubt it would be worth buying but it gets people involved as well.

I agree totally. Plus it creates future generations of programmers, ones who come up with new tricks and want to see how far they can push the machine. Alot of game developers just use the libraries available to them because they wanna knock out the product as quick as possible. Coming up with new tricks takes up time that could be used for developing a saleable product type thing.

Ok So ive heard tht a few year ago when gbatemp used to host roms or links to roms or whatever the situation was and it used to be closed down regularly ( It may not be the truth if not please correct me )

Yes that's right, it was in late 2001/start 2002. It started on a site/message board (I don't remember the name) providing roms, Where KiVan was a user and he started his own roms website repository because links were often dead on the first website. He called it "Temp" because of the temporary state of the site, always changing the GBA rom's hosted server and setting the new DNS to GBATemp.net. In October 2002, the GBAtemp forum opened and a few months later the staff decided to stop the roms to keep the community alive.

The full story can be read on the wiki http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/index.php?tit...tory_of_GBAtemp

i reckon that nintendo have 'spies' or researchers on forums looking up stuff and i think that gbatemp would be one of their main websites they watch

A majority of the staff. Oh and TROLLEY FUCKING DAVE!

 

[Chris_Skylock]

since this is a famous forum, it's possible someone from NIntendo can register here and spy on us. look at the G6 and acekard team, they have accounts and official. Though, in Nintendo's case, it's just like a normal person.

tsk tsk. who could that be?

 

[MegaAce™]

why should nintendo spy on gbatemp?
it isn't a romsite, they don't need to close down gbatemp.

if someone asks, what console he should buy, and we tell wii or something, it's money for ninty,
so

No, the temp doesn't host roms.
The day the temp hosts roms again is the day where humans grow wings.

And what about me too? I am awesome too!

On Topic: What the hell can Nintendo do? Theyre better off going after ROM dumpers and flashcart teams rather than spy on something that's not illegal.

yep true. ages ago it used to only host GBA roms either way, and as for hosting, it was actually linking to online file hosts and such. so yeah... Nintendo can't do shit about GBAtemp, i mean the forums how us how to pirate, but it doesn't offer anything that makes us pirate.

 

[Hotzdevil]

i just had a brain flash(i know it doesn't quite make sense, but i cudn't think of a better word hehe) idea do you think some of the ninty guys act as noobs asking for links to rom sites so thay if someone does make the mistake of mentioning it they get a damn good excuse of closing down this site

... but then we have the Ninja in our site who will silently assasinate the defaulter hehe..

 

[triassic911]

Nintendo most likely has a ninja employee here acting like a regular user.

Maybe it's Hadrian, he seems to know so much about Wii and DS games.

NO lie, I'm thinking it's him. He has made so many friends here & he probably keeps all their secrets (piracy ones included).

NOOOOO...

if it's HaThordrian then we have a problem on our hands

Yay! I'm in that list!

You forgot the staff, MegaAce, DieForIt, tj, Law, and some others too.

 

[Veho]

Anybody I forgot?!

Toni! I can't believe you forgot our favourite radioactive cyborg.


(I'm on the list! w00000t!)

 

[alidsl]

I think he named all the people with obscure Avatars...

Wait, he forgot TONI!!!

 

[Hadrian]

FUCK PEOPLE DISCOVERED MY SECRET.

There was me thinking my name changes would help.

Yes I admit it, my "win sex prizes" was just a way to get members addresses so I can get them arrested. Sorry Toni, Brian, Raulpica for this but Nintendo pay good money.

And yes the tempcast competition winners...we have you on record now.
