Hombrew != piracy
Most of the developer don't even care about pirating games piracy is not the point that keeps the developers looking for new stuff

But BTW my ps4 can run some pirated games if I want to

You are correct. The exploit developers could really care less about piracy from what I see, but the application developers? I would say that the majority of applications that are for the 3DS are to help ease piracy or they are some sort of configuration app.

make something original? the game doesn't have to be a FPS, 60 FPS, or HD to be a good game.
Games take a lot of work, especially when you have to create them from the ground up with a low-level programming language, so I don't think many people are interested in tackling that as a solo project. 3DS also doesn't have the horsepower to be a portable media center type thing. Awful sound card, bare minimum CPU and GPU designed for playing games and not much else. The Switch would be much better suited for that sort of purpose. That's all I was trying to say.

The specs are pretty bad, that I can get behind. But look at the DS scene! That had some excellent stuff, and most of it was wayyy better than what we got on 3DS. Some ports on 3ds were great, like Super Hexagon. But in reality, I don't think the Switch will be much different.

Maybe switchhax will allow us to copy Dragonheart over to SD and tweak Dennis Quaid's voice to sound like a proper british knight so that we can finally watch that movie the way it was meant to be watched.

Low level language? Dennis Quaid can barely speak like a knight in Dragonheart but that didn't stop him from making an epic movie with dragons and unforgettable music! He had the horsepower to do it.

Yeah the DS was pretty good, but I think that was because smartphones and tablets weren't mainstream/invented yet.

uhhhh. do you know what you were talking about? if that was sarcasm a /s could have been appreciated.

If you don't, a low-level language in the programming sense means that you have to build a lot of the program from scratch, creating all of the methods and function calls.

I'd still say that a few of the DS homebrew games are better than what we have on mobile.

But in all seriousness, the purpose of ports is to bring the games to the attention of those who didn't get the chance to play them on Wii U. You aren't obligated to buy them again, but they do bring in money for companies that are currently occupied on something else.

For example, Rare is releasing DKCR:TF on the Switch, yet they are working on something different right now.

So with a kernel hack what can we do other than cfw? What is the diffrence between userland and kernel access? Would emunand also be possible with kernel access?

    because i didn't say i was asleep

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
