Jeez, i started a shitstorm.
Anyway, looks like the only real problem is that they won't get any attention after Xecuter's modchip releases.
Because piracy is not problem, it has never been a problem. Never.

Edit: Problem in the modding community, of course

Team Xecuter are developers and if this product is indeed a modchip then of course it's going to cost money. Freeloading CFW scum.
You either pay for the right to be first, or wait it out for the inevitable free option.

Jealously. It's simple, someone came out with a better product, that works on all firmware. None of that <3.0.1 or you're waiting for years nonsense. These guys will be the main contributors to the scene if their product works as advertised.

Important thing is that it's good for everyone in the end though (except Nintendo).
studies show piracy helps sales, looking at consoles that have been hacked it seems like there is a lot of truth to this.

"Try before you buy" is a great philosophy.. Shame we have to go through a grey area to do this.

I just hope that they didn't discover a full software solution and then throw it away because they found a way to make hardware required, then they would be dicks.

if it is a modchip then it'll help the CFW scene as it'll allow a more broader audience to tinker around with the inner workings of the Switch. It's a hack and hacks are beneficial for the scene.

No one tries before buying. Piracy is piracy. Stop trying to make it look like something else
Now where did I say it was both? I believe in try before you buy.. But I didn't say piracy was such... Don't misconstrue my words.

Also, to claim no one tries before they buy is ignorant at best. Unless you personally know everyone and their motives, you have no business getting all uppity.

Maybe spend months working on breaking a system only to have someone else take all your work and sell it in a chip while you do it for free. Then you might see why they're "salty"

No proof to that statement. Try again.

  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
