Homebrew Pokemon X/Y/OR/AS can be exploitable according to SciresM

Probably because I said "straight from"
I edited out the straight (as of 10 ish seconds ago)

Yeah, that should be good.
Everything's always better when it's not straight.

They can't really patch this one anyways because of physical carts they can't force you to update your game version to play it since if you had no internet the game would be unplayable. Since the game has a physical release they can't do a patch that makes you re download the whole game which means you can just delete the update. A homebrew exploit on a game most 3ds owners have is a better idea then sound hax was.

I am very aware of this potential problem, and am being careful -- my standards for "competent enough to be given the exploit" are pretty high. That said, I've given it to ~5 people so far, all of whom I'm confident I can trust to not be assholes.

Maybe you'd better document the vuln, so it's publicly known and then nobody can report it to nintendo and get $$$ ? They can patch it I guess, but people using gamecarts can delete update data anyway.

I would rather risk it being sold to Nintendo in order to make it likely the bug gets eventually publically used than publicize it and have nobody get any use out of it before it gets patched. And, I don't think it's usable if you're not on the latest game update.
