While I'm totally accepting and praising a new hax entrypoint (regardless of what it is) what the community really needs is another primary entry-point. I have no room to talk, as I'm not a dev, but seriously, a primary exploit would totally help the community grow even more then it already has.

Smea, you're a god!! Keep up the great work.

I second this notion. It's hard to get friends to use and test homebrew when Ninty keeps cock-blocking the primary entrypoints.

On the note of Nintendo "cock-blocking" the primary entrypoints, I think that Nintendo really shouldn't do that (or at least leave plain homebrew alone) because I literally bought another new3DSxl just to have a "legit" 3DS. My others are CFW mainly for friends to use when at my house, to lug to parties/vacations/work and not have to carry all my carts around, plus to play with the CFW and other cool things available to 3DS modders.

I agree with Nintendo. They work hard on their consoles and software and when people poke holes and mess with their work (not to mention piracy) it kind of looks bad on them as a company. But it also opens doors to small coders and devs to flex their muscles. Look at the homebrew games and the fun that people like us on this site have exploring the realm of modding their 3DS. It's a new type of fun that Nintendo couldn't match. I mean, the potential of a modded 3DS has ENDLESS hours of fun be it by developing homebrew, making a rom hack, the ton of games you can play with emulators/VC editing, playing games with friends even if they don't own the cart, and more and more.

That's just my semi-rant on the matter. Props to Nintendo for the awesome portable that hopefully stays around for a while. Props to Smea for opening the homebrew door, props to devs that make the tools and homebrew we use, and props to the community for giving me something to do with my "valuable" time.:gba:

My question is, why is Nintendo releasing Zelda titles with save exploits in them? First Twilight Princess, then OoT 3D; Seems a bit... Odd. Since the Wii U version is basically a port with tighter HD textures, does that mean a save exploit can be found? If the same exploit is still in the HD Twilight Princess, I can only imagine it would try to crash something in the vWii, but I don't know enough about the Wii U to speculate such. :P

If it's running in Wii U mode it'll gain access to the Wii U OS, not vWii.

Indeed OOT3D is a godsent since that is a must have with almost all 3DS owners. Since OOT3D was also released as a Nintendo Select.

TP wii hack is also really great for about the same reason. I'm not sure if the Wii U TPHD would have the same function as TP on the wii. I would think that Nintendo would patch it if there was any threat. Then again, The Nintendo Select didn't patch the exploit AFAIK, they also didn't add C-stick support or New 3DS functionality (I've seen FPS drops that are fixed with NTR or HANS forcing the New 3DS clock speed) but I also have a hunch that the Nintendo Selects version is also a way to clean out some inventory of the old 3DS release.

I'm just bumping to keep updated since I don't go that much to twitter. :)
Hope he says it soon, because I'm about to buy OoT and powersaves, and that way maybe I can save up 40$ to buy another game. :)
