Hacking Official 3DS Piracy Discussion Thread.

[Bearpowers]

lol someone at my work said
"Pirating Games is as bad as [censored]"
but when the day of Rapture was upon us he said
"if it was proven to happen i'd go out and [censored] someone because it doesn't matter"

doesn't help we our work had 2 schools pretty much next door

Jesus was a pirate, he magically copied and fish and bread for the people.

Any and ALL Christians should support piracy.

LOL thats funny. But Jesus wasn't stealing from the kid,

Jesus copied food the same way a scene group pirates a game.

 

[RoMee]

if you make good games, piracy won't hurt you.
look at pokemon, they sold a shit load of games and made a shit load of money.

the psp go was crap until it was hacked, now there's a high demand for it.

since the 3ds is selling like crap right now, it can benefit from piracy

No, just stop. I don't post much, but I can't stand the hypocrisy anymore. This is an old age question that really does not need to be discussed. Not only that but no matter what those people who support anti-piracy measures say on this website; they're still on a website obviously in favor of piracy. The whole website before and now has always been dedicated to piracy. Stop pretending you all care so much. It's like going to a homosexual forum and preaching about how homosexual sex is bad and how you're not in favor of it, yet still coming to the forum everyday and considering yourself a member. JUST STOP.

Well okay, but this isn't a pirate forum. Now, it's roots did start with backups, but this isn't a pirate forum.

Ok then tell me, what other community is this forum appealing to or could appeal to ? The front page lists scene releases and homebrew, reviews flash carts, and has a shop selling goods used for piracy, and who are we kidding with those homebrew games; most of that is just low tier junk. I guarantee you no one actually buys flashcards to play those. If this isn't a piracy website, I swear for the life of me I don't know what is.

Piracy on a system this new is both dangerous for future sales and totally pointless. There aren't that many good games worth pirating at this point. Really it's just better to wait for the system to have more times so there are more games and the system is far more stable and has a better following.

It won't matter if the games aren't good enough to pirate..they're figuring out how to do it, so they'll do it on any game, and by the time they've 'perfected it' (so to speak) there will be plenty out because it'll take a while longer to make a legit cart to run them on..that or Nintendo might be pissed and take action.

I am just saying. Right now it's totally pointless and just causes future problems, it's better to wait for things to catch up and for the system to have more time instead of rushing into it.

LOL This made my day. I'm pretty sure nintendo might try stalling piracy with future updates, also unless we get 15 dollar flashcarts or a super easy to do software exploit don't expect piracy to be widespread as the psp or ds. I mean sure i enjoy cheap flascharts but it really makes more sense to charge the same if not more for a catridge thats going to let you play many more games. Anyways I expect more 3ds sales with the release of flashcarts. Oh and the biggest noob flood whenever a pokemon 3DS game gets dumped.

 

[s4mid4re]

Piracy will obviously not help in software sales.

Even if 3DS piracy started now, the launch titles won't make people buy the hardware just to pirate crappy games. In other words, it won't even help in hardware sales (for now).

I'd say wait for a year or two until worthy games are released.

 

[Shadowhunta]

I 100% agree, if piracy hurt sales of the PSP so much then why make another, knowing full well people are going to hack the shit out of it?? (Especially since Sony are'nt the most secure company of all, just sayin)

You're acting like piracy ruined the system. It seems nowadays if a game doesn't break millions upon millions of copies then it's a "flop".

The PSP still sold decent software numbers, plus a lot of the statistics are off with the PSN Store nowadays (their sales are not counted in the numbers). Peace Walker, a game that obviously was bound to sell well, had somewhat low sales numbers when it came out. Like not bad, but not what everyone would think. But Konami was quite pleased because of the online sales it got which made the game a retail success.

No no!! i'm saying the EXACT opposite, i'm pointing out that piracy HAS'NT harmed the system at all!! Hence Sony making another one!!

You can go to hell with that. There's plenty of good homebrew for the DS. Just because you use it to pirate and nothing else doesn't mean everyone on this site does. Keep your ignorance and assumptions to yourself.

 

[xist]

At this point i'd assume it's a normal distribution curve of effect on the 3DS itself. With interest flagging in the system i can only see this as a positive-ish thing to generate more people taking note of the console. More system sales, more dev interest, more games.

It's if it gets out of hand that it will be the issue, although continued market penetration should be a good thing as it's the only new handheld.

I completely agree. I've used quite a bit of homebrew, and it's all just as you said, junk.
I suspect that nearly nobody actually uses homebrew, and they just hide behind the "I'm not a pirate, I just use my flashcard to play homebrew" shield, to appear less morally bankrupt to others.

Mind you, there is probably some decent homebrew out there, I won't completely write it off.

 

[DeMoN]

This is the internet, you're anonymous, and you're surrounded by people who are just as "morally bankrupt" as yourself. No need to hide your true nature here.
GBAtemp is and has always been a piracy-supporting website.

 

[Sir VG]

Piracy doesn't make shovelware. There were tons of crappy games in the Atari, NES, and SNES eras too, don't forget!

Shovelware comes because companies want to make as much money on a system before people get tired of it from there being too much shovelware.

 

[MakerNekoMizuki]

There's no proof that a pirate will buy a game if he couldn't pirate it, so in my opinion piracy won't make a difference in game sales.
But it's a fact that it could help boost console sales.

This!! to be quite honest i bought 1 game for my 3DS and that was just so i would have something to play...NONE of the launch games interested me at all! And the fact nintendo is charging top whack for a fucking HANDHELD game is beyond me! Piracy is not stealing, that would imply you have taken something from someone, which is not the case!

Well, for digital piracy that's true. For real piracy it actually is theft. I guess digital piracy shouldn't really be called "piracy" at all.

Fine... better guide

Actually alot of people use homebrew. Emulators and special homebrew are one of the main reasons people buy the Supercard DSTWO.

 

[Demonstryde]

my first flashcart was the "games'n'music" flashcart.. it did not support roms.. and the homebrew had to be dldi patched. once i got my dsi and updated, the flashcart was no longer a useable piece of equipment ,so i searched for something that would work on the dsi..... luck had it that the AK2i was the first flashcart to work on an updated dsi.....i didnt know it could even play roms till like months after i got it... so tell me this.... was i forced into piracy or did i choose it?

They may have dumped them, but they can't really do anything with them.

You have arguably good point there. I like it

 

[FireGrey]

I think that piracy will be a good thing for the 3DS.
There are many people like me that aren't going to buy the console until it's pirated.
Anyway I only pirate games i'm not going to buy.

Right. Again, .nfo here:

QUOTE

P.S. Most people are probably asking themselves "HOW?"
The answer is "Yes, it is THAT simple". This release is 100% complete
and was tested on our own hardware. Just wait for the chinese to
figure it all out as well, then you can play this release too.
Like our DS and DSi dumps, we have included a picture of the
dumper with this release. Make of it what you want, we have
no intention of giving our further information.

A piracy is bad and Nintendo plans to protect their 3D portable from greedy pirates....*shake my head* -- Guess what ? Nintendo fails again. Jeez.
