B-but...we already have Fusee Gelee and Atmosphere is in development. I don't understand what you mean.

I don't believe Atmosphere is stated to support backup loading. Unless it'll have some form of plugin loading, similar to NTR on the 3DS except for the OS, it'll have to be forked in later.

So they just want to make profit... I dislike this spirit.
Ok for selling their product, but not if their cfw is usable only with this, and if we can only load their cfw (and not other payloads) with this.

That's true, but I was under the impression it was disabling sigchecks anyway. If that's the case then whether it "supports" backup loading is moot because someone can repackage it.

That’s not how any of this works though. CFW removes sigchecks. That allows *somebody* to implement backup loading. There isn’t explicit support but it isn’t arbitrarily locked out.

Good point. I may be mistaken but it looked like Xecuter's CFW was emulating the insertion/removal of cartridges, no? I thought disabling sigchecks is only useful for installed titles if my knowledge from the Wii U scene applies, in which case we'll be waiting for someone to release a title installer.

Yeah to be honest I'm not exactly sure what that's about. It seems much easier (to me at least) to just find a way to skip verification of installed titles. It looks similar to the Sky3DS almost, but that doesn't make sense because the mod isn't a fake cartridge.

Except that piracy behind a paywall (that device) and free piracy are not the same thing. The latter might save some people from shelling out money for such a device that would have bought it regardless... AND encourage others to even think about pirating games that wouldn't have if it wasn't for free. Though, on the other hand some of those that wouldn't have bought the device might also not have bought a significant amount of games anyway... I guess one could continue to think about this even further to get as close to the actual impact it would have to release soft-piracy for free compared to just letting the TX SX do all that alone... But my point of view is that the "moral" concern shouldn't be ignored just because there is some device being sold that will enable piracy regardless. And that's as far as I could argue as of now.


I think of 2 kind of people.

a) Got a switch, had bought some games, or maybe none, but if the piracy tool will cost like 2 AAA games, the investment will be worthy as they already have the console, so it is logic to think that at the cost of 2 games they will have them all.

b) Will buy a switch just to play free games, this is the kind of person that will not invest on the piracy tool and rather wait more time for a better, free, stable piracy tool to justify the price of the console, although tru¿ough time, the console will be cheaper. Maybe this new revision, will not stop piracy, but you could always find a console on a second hand market.

i think that anyone that already have the Switch can justify the price for a piracy tool; others with more patience will just wait for a soft mod as it has always been.

This is just a matter of time.

Also, there will be some other people that doesnt worry of online play so permabans are not a worry.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
