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.

Could it at the very least be released as just an Emunand and not a CFW? I don't really care about CIA's on 9.2, i'd just like to be able to update to 9.5 and play my Smash Bros cart online (assuming it uses the right encryption key unlike MT's Launcher)

wonderful, even though it is through the ds mode exploit, so i guess he is on 4.x, still very cool
i'm guessing devmenu is already installed (through gw or something, probably used to create emunand also), the cool end goal here is that he made devmenu run without gw :) nice

I don't think it's really an end goal, or a goal at all. Being able to run DevMenu/install CIA files isn't on the feature list for this project, so that video seems more just for showing the fact of NAND redirection and FIRM patching working as a proof of concept.

sure, i just mean, the 'result' for users of what is being shown in the video. of course how it is done is the main part, but for users like 'us', we just want the end result, so, the use of devmenu without gw :) i understand what you mean

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He already asked earlier
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    I am trying to find someone with knowledge on that willing to help me
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I and Hayato warned him not to, but he won't listen
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa,
    I don't listen? What didn't I listen at? I just want to know all the possible risks on that part
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Hayato even said it's dangerous to backup the save files to CFW
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    how is this dangerous? A ton of people did this it's the most common thing to do with CFW
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Then do it
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    dude, whatever
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not trying to hate, I tried to help you in the switch noob thread by asking for you, but you don't want to accept the answers you got, so do whatever then.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Is that bigonya squeezing bulmas tiddies

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Man, first of all thanks for your willing to help, much appreciated. But, it's not that I "don't want to listen", rather than I need soemone to EXPLAIN to me how and why all these are risky.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Putting your dick in certain areas is always a risk
    +1
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    For example, HOW is is risky to get banned if you extract the save files to the CFW?
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    isn't this proccess be done while you're offline?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We are not Nintendo, so we don't know exactly how/why/when they ban, but better to stay on the safe side and not do shady stuff, if you don't want to be banned. Hayato is one of the most knowledgeable ones here on the subject and I believe what he says.

    300 bucks hmmm lol
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Yes ofc we don't know how Nintendo bans work, but if there are situations where a lot of people have tried safely then we can at least assume that this path is pretty much safe. To say don't try anything homebrew relative just to be safe forever is the easiest thing to say to someone. What I am trying to figure out here is with which cases and what actions got most of the people their bans for.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Most things I can find resulting to a ban is save-editing reasons, like Pokehex, etc, and going online afterwards.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm almost certain fucking Google fibers modems blocking out PPPoE signals
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Like the 6th time I had to reboot this router trying to get PPPoE active
    Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo: Lol
