I'm assuming it just means a ROM that is released to the public, is that it? I'm wondering, because a user on a ROM website listed links to roms, and says that all his releases are "scene".

In short, a "scene release" for any kind of software is a release of a piece of software by a group known to be trusted, usually with security bypassed, if necessary. Scene groups have been around since the earliest form of the publicly accessible internet. In short, it's a rip of commercial software by a group that's earned a "trusted" following. The alternative from scene releases, would be random users uploading a copy of the software that they personally ripped.
nope, i checked, it's a 3ds fileOn the particular rom site that I believe you're talking about, usually "scene" translates to ".cia" which is basically a title that you can download (using CFW or Gateway). Like an eshop game. This is opposed to the .3ds titles that play on the red Gateway card or Sky3ds like physical games.
So if you download a .cia, know that's something you need to install to your system using a title manager and if you get a .3ds you need a flash cart to play it.

He's way off lolI think youre a bit off there
not always, although they should but a lot of sites just repack themScene releases:
- have the name of the group that obtained and digitized it, in the game's folder name.
- are split into small .r01, .r02, .r03, etc or .001, .002, .003, etc files.
- come with a .nfo and a .sfv file, for information and for verifying the integrity of the files.
That's a good summary of what happens.Oringinal untouched scene releases always come with sfv and nfo files, will be packed as smaller rar files, and will always follow specific naming rules (Packing compression and naming is dependent platform to platform, alot have rulesets that the groups get together and make or 1 top group sets rules and expects rest to follow suit) there where also diz files when zips where used, this is because all scene releases originate on ftp sites and like said above, sfv is used for integrity purposes and the nfo is for release information, "couriers" race releases from site to site against each other, and even the ftps have a heirarchy, With multiple Tiers, They normally Originate at Group HQs after being sent from a site they Pre-release from or even just release from the HQ, Release is announced in the form of Site Echos and from from there they are raced around other sites, to archives etc, then slowly filter down to the more insecure part of the network, sites where people sell slots on the ftps, where they send out to seedboxes etc, and then you get the filter down to torrents and cyberlockers

Oppsie. I should stop coming here at 1 AM. Oh well, everything after the first half of the sentence is right... Just irrelevant to the question.He's way off lol

Most scene releases are pirated? Hahaha. ALL scene releases (at least for the 3DS) are pirated. There aren't scene releases of homebrew, for example, and even if there were, they were still made with Nintendo's SDK, APIs and sys files for compatibility, which is copyright infringement since the big N doesn't just give them for free. Those dev kits cost between $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of your team.Teams can release there roms any way they like really. They include an nfo file to read for specific instructions and most scene releases are pirated
