Hacking Piracy or Homebrew

[Sterling]

Piracy is a sad side effect of homebrew. It's only possible through homebrew. If there was only homebrew, I would be happy, but unless the sort of thing for homebrew is kept proprietary (the opposite of what homebrew stands for), piracy will happen.

Homebrew.. Ah. That thing where you port crappy flashgames that nobody wants to play on the DS.

I suggest you look at this.

when you talk about homebrew vs. piracy do emulators go under homebrew or piracy? if you look at a system like the dingoo or pandora you will see just how much great homebrew there is, but they are mostly emulators, so is that piracy?

pure homebrew is great but stuff like angunaDS and warhawk are the rare examples. people don't have time to develop games at the level we expect until they can get paid to do so, and at that point it becomes piracy again.

in regards to the question of this topic, i would pick homebrew hands down. ds games haven't thrilled me, i've stopped playing ds games as of a few years ago. i use my ds for emulation, homebrew, applications, etc.

Honestly the homebrew on the DS wasn't that great. I got my AceKard to play backups since I would ALWAYS lose those little cartridges, and so I could have my whole collection on one microSD. I have a feeling homebrew will be ALOT better on the 3DS though...

Of course it's piracy.
If you are playing a copyright protected game/ROM, it is piracy... whether the ROM is DS, GBA, NES or whatever.

The emulator itself is homebrew, but the emulator is useless without pirated ROMS (unless you are emulating GBA/NES/etc homebrew...).
But, be honest, do you only use your emulator for old homebrew?

Piracy of older systems is allowed under the homebrew option, just not actual piracy of 3DS games.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Homebrew = Piracy. That's a fact. Prove me wrong and show me one system that allows homebrew but not piracy (no emulators of course since they are massive warez launchers).

No, Hacking -> Piracy is mostly fact. Homebrew and Piracy usually co-exist and sometimes Homebrew leads to piracy, but homebrew = piracy isn't a fact.

Just because a system allow both doesn't mean Homebrew = Piracy. It doesn't mean that a person will do piracy and this is about one or the other.

Sometimes? Homebrew always leads to piracy. Again, prove me wrong and show me a system that has homebrew but no piracy.

 

[Schizoanalysis]

So, by your logic, playing DS games on the 3DS is not piracy? But homebrew? The DS is a system older than the 3DS.

Crazy logic.

Playing copyright protected games = piracy

Discriminating between one platform and another is somewhat ridiculous in this context.

That wouldn't prove anything. Just because they coexist doesn't mean they lead to one another.

No, it would.

Games that are no longer supported or doesn't hurt the company.

Explain.

I'd go for homebrew over piracy (however, I stick my foot in my mouth because I play a lot of emulators on my console). I enjoy the randomnes that random Joe's and Jane's come up with all over the world.

It hurts the people who bought the games. The games will then be worth less (on Ebay, etc), and game buyers may then even stop buying games as it is no longer a good investment.

Pandora has emulators, which are warez launcher ----> Piracy.

You claim that homebrew sometimes leads to piracy, right? If this is the case you have to know at least one system, that allows homebrew but no piracy in order to back up your claim.

I claim that homebrew always leads to piracy and this is backed up by the fact that there is no system that allows homebrew but no piracy.

Okay, say I do list one. How exactly does Homebrew = Piracy? That's like saying Homebrew = System Memory, they coexist, but one does not lead to the other or vice versa. Heck, they have almost nothing to do with each other other than the indirect relationship between them, as the memory does not attribute to the Homebrew, but the system the homebrew is run on, and piracy doesn't even have that.
