Good for you. The fact of the matter is that those with the skills to make a CFW are antipiracy. You guys are the first who take that stance and are willing to make your work public. Pro-piracy folk are just going the have to deal with that fact.
Those looking for a free ROM loader are going to have to find someone who shares their point of view and has both the skill and the willingness to make it public. But, it seems that such a person doesn't exist right now.
Precisely. You said it; there's already numerous other ways to load pirate games. So why do these guys need to provide another?
They don't have to provide another, and that's their choice. My point being that they're not exactly preventing piracy either, they're just forcing other people to go other routes. IMO, the point of all of this really SHOULD be to get the system as open as it can be...not enabling rom loading, to some extent is shooting themselves in the foot, as it's certainly possible for homebrew to use the same sorts of mechanisms as roms do to be loaded.
Came back on this thread and wow, no CIA support, I'm not upset, but would this limit homebrew? If it doesn't, how would using KARL3DS speed up homebrew, and would certain emulators hopefully have sound support, speed etc. using KARL3DS?
And this is exactly the point I was sorta beating around the bush to get at. There's already a pretty significant amount of homebrew that already exists in CIA format.
