This is unbelievable lol. So they released a totally random method for us to enjoy the GW goodies on the New 3DS and people are still bitching? :huh:
They even offered to fix the issue ASAP if someone sends them just one copy of the 1.1 game so everyone with a OOT game can enjoy the exploit and there are still whiners and naysayers. I mean that right there is some crazy shit.
I would rather have this tethered beta entry point than nothing. I guess some people can never be satisfied....

I kinda feel bad for Gateway. I know this release just made more sales for Sky... while I think it serves them right for the things theyve done to their customers and for bashing Sky aswell. They still pour a lot of work into it

If the person doing the dump has MAC or Linux based PC, they can run the following command on the game ROM dump file:
Code:
head -c $[0x8000] XXX.3ds > header.bin
This will trim the 512M ROM file to ~8k which is all we need and will be easier to simply mail as attachment to our [email protected] email

Again both the truncated ROM dump AND the fresh save profile are needed, please ZIP both and email our [email protected] account.

Thanks.
For those Windows users who wish to help without the giant upload hassle, here attached is a program to dump the first 0x8000 of your zelda OOT so you won't have to waste time uploading all of it. Just drop your Zelda file on the program and it'll generate the GW requested file. "ZeldaHeader.bin"

Exactly. It's not like it's costing YOU money. They are offering to fix your issue for free, they just want to know what the issue is, so they can fix it.

Not much different from sending crash reports to google or whoever imo.

Btw did the Mii exploit really exist (since you posted a tutorial for it a few months ago) ? Or was it a troll ?

i think it did i predicted it before that guide was posted and it was sorta confirmed by smea

Cubic Ninja in the near future, until some other viable entrypoint comes along, which at this point is an unknown.

so is it 100% certain that they gave up on miimaker exploit ?
do you know what went wrong ?

Um. Yes. That is exactly what they should do. They charge money for their product and they should use that for their own R&D. I'll send them a dump of whatever they want if they send me a GW card gratis. Until then they can just piss off.

Yep this, get stuffed GW. Keeping people in the dark, not replying to Emails. Teasing a Video at the time competition was releasing for more Sales, and now they ask for help so they can continue to make more money. Sorry it aint our fucking job.

Ok, you win, Gateway says they will release the OOT fix SOON, as "Soon" as they buy 5000 copies of OOT and test them all.

  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even at "uncensored" home releases they still show no nipples with few, rare exceptions
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    It makes it seem cool, that's why smoking

    comercials were banned here in the 90s.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even ecchi manga dont show nipples nowadays
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'm reading several that do atm. x'D
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even it looks cool, i still hate smoking and i always hated smoking
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    They're seinen though.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    But yeah, it also has to do with the fact that stuff are more sexualised

    now
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even at seinen i am reading, the only one that shows nipples sometimes is Oversized Sextet
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Like, Urusei Yatsura, I love the manga and the original anime.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    In the original rumiko takahashi works, nudity was common
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i still havent read the manga. also surprisinly i like both the new and the old anime adaption.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Lum being topless and Ranma always topless when turning female wasn't sexual
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also the old anime adaption of Urusei Yatsura had more fanservice than the manga
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    That's one of the issues I have with ecchi stuff recently, it focuses too much on the sexual aspect, not the comedy effect.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    The manga had it's fair share.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I mean, Lum was supposed to be a one time character
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    ecchi anime focusing too much at fanservice was always a thing
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Rumiko Takahashi got so much fan email about the character that she brought her back in the manga, it was going to be completely different originally (with the alien of the week type).
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also i m a takahashi fan and i love ranma
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    There are different ways of fanservice
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    the first manga I bought, was Psychic Academy, when I was like 12?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    That was good 2000s ecchi
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Great plot too
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    yikes. psychic academy. it was trash even back then when i bought volume 1. also same author also made one of the manga adaptions of Escaflowne.
    Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru: yikes. psychic academy. it was trash even back then when i bought volume 1. also same author...
