ShopTemp (V1) R.I.P.

[ShadowSoldier]

I dont need to remind you that flashcarts are considered to be illegal devices in many countries.
they can be used for good things that do not harm Nintendo, but lets be honest most people use those for pirated games!

I don't find it particularly shocking that a store selling flashcarts should be stopped (hope i'm not offending anyone here esp. not shoptemp managers)
GBAtemp will live on even without the partnership with Shoptemp

even if its sad because shoptemp was probably the best flashcart site. They didnt scam their customers (so many shops are charging extremely high prices for items that cost so little to stock) and they were honest till the end.

I wonder why nintendo went after them and not others who make trazillions like [censored].com or shoptemp.com ... shoptemp was nothing in comparison to them. Those two websites have thousands of orders in a day while shoptemp had barely more than 50 on a regular day, as far as I know.

because of the popularity..plus..Nintendo's shit list is GBATEMP. they are probably ITCHING to shut us down after GBATEMP removed the ROMS...so anything that is affiliated with GBATEMP must be terminated due to a large populous becoming exposed to it.

All I can say is :

Well done Nintendo, Well Done.

I raise my R4, my DSONEi and my AceKard 2i to you and say FUCK YOU

I raise my R4 and Acekard 2i with you sir.

terrible, absolutely terrible... maybe selling something else is in order but i guess the whole shop is closed
i hope to see what you can do with the site now

While ShopTemp was not our own site (like GBAtemp or FileTrip) we feel that it had somehow become an important part of the GBAtemp Network. As such we have requested the ShopTemp staff to keep the domain and organize a new version of the website. We already have something planned for it, plans that will involve the community and that will benefit everyone. We will of course keep you informed of the evolution of our projects. The ShopTemp staff would like to thank everyone who trusted them over the past few months. They would also like to confirm that all orders that were paid for will be duly shipped, so there is no need to worry or to claim a refund.

The only benefit will go to gbatemp, not to the community. Be sure of that. You cannot trust ppl who endorse piracy.

you can't trust people with 666 in their username either.

I think the people you cant trust are the street hoodlums who sell pirated copies of shit on the STREET.

what a tool.

 

[.Chris]

It doesnt even sell shells, skins, or even SD Cards? What a shame...

Goodbye, Shoptemp.

EDIT: And what happens to our store credit?

 

[Costello]

he's just wrong because he assumes too much

the new shoptemp will (if it goes according to plan) benefit the community 100%...
i thought it was clear in the original post but it won't be a shop. Maybe thats what pip666 assumed!

EDIT: And what happens to our store credit?

like Shoptemp state on their home page: you can just email paypal and ask them to unlock shoptemp's account

 

[ShadowSoldier]

we are sad to let you know that ShopTemp is no longer accepting orders.

I ordered my stuff a couple hours ago... am I in the clear, or not?

Although it didn't last more than a year, maybe half that at best, Shoptemp had a good run and myself along with it.
I brought in over $5300 of sales to the site, so I was able to order 6 DStwos, 12gb of memory and an Acekard, of no cost to myself, not a bad thing at all.
It's a shame because Shoptemp was one of my favourite stores to recommend to people, now I think I'll have to point them to gamekool like I used to.

Edit: I reckon it's about time I killed my signature then.I had all of $7.10, so, uh...that went well.

They're spying on us.

I guess they don't like us.

Yeeaah...as much as I want to jump into various anti-flashcart conversations and say "Hey! But I don't use mine that way!" it's pretty obvious most do unfortunately. Kind of stinks though, anyway. It was a pretty good store while it lasted.

 

[kiafazool]

this just killed everything

[NostalgicMillennial]

I know what canned them EXACTLY.

they shipped inside the USA.

Nintendo and the ESA lobbied to congress to make shipping flashcarts (or anything they don't like) from inside the USA to citizens illegal.

Ship from China or Hong Kong, and they can't touch you

this is what other retailers are still up..because their merchandise is based in another country

 

[shakirmoledina]

maybe you should start hosting roms there... i guess the ones who are blocking the websites may have been given a compensation hence they arent closing down the more famous websites

Of Course they are spying on us.

how the hell do you think after Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles : Ring Of Fates was cracked...their anti-piracy technology keeps getting stronger, requiring us for more updates?


1. they see how we crack it step by step.

2. we supply the crack to them in a patch file

3. their goons at HQ research how to circumvent it.

4. new game with higher anti-piracy technology is released.

5. we crack it.

6. go back to step 1

Worst news ever!

No:
"As we have stated before, ShopTemp was run by individuals who are not connected to the GBAtemp staff."

"While ShopTemp was not our own site..."
