Hacking Would you buy a flashcart if you weren't allowed to pirate?

First honest to this thread:

Short answer:
No.

As hard as it is to believe, some people do prefer to own their games rather than pirate. I know I do. As stated, I brought my cart for emulation of older systems. Beyond the occasional test of something before I spend all that cash, I only use this for NeoDS and NitroHax. Just wish that the iPlayer was out when I got my card. GBA emu would have been useful for Pokemon hacks.

... so you bought a flash cart for the sole purpose of pirating older games? pirating is pirating regardless of how old the game is.

No I would not because I don't care for homebrew and I don't mind carrying around all my games with me. Well I do mind, but I don't travel a lot and I like to focus on only one or two game(s) at a time so it doesn't really matter much.
Like some people said before me, I wouldn't even have a DS if I couldn't pirate.

 

[naglaro00]

YES if I actually bought some games for the console but since I have like only 1-3 retail games per console then NO

I'd buy my flashcart to pirate if I wasn't allowed to pirate.

I'd probably still have bought my Cyclo.
I still need the various other functions it allows, plus I don't have space to carry around all my games.

In other news, I would definitely have a GameFly subscription

I use my DS iPlayer for porn.

Well your already "not allowed" to pirate, but if you're asking if you should buy one even if you dont download games that you dont already have then I would say yes, still get one. IMO just the convenience of only having to carry around one cart is worth 20 bucks.

Yes. I have a flashcart (CycloDS) because I have enough crap to carry around with me, and a bunch of games isn't going to help. The main reason I have the flashcart is for that reason - I only need to carry my DS lite and that's it. If I feel like playing some of my older GBA games I'll slip the 3-in-1+ in before I leave the house.

Media? I never use Moonshell or any other media player. That's what my iPod Touch is for.

Homebrew? I bought the flashcart simply for that one reason, to save carrying around my games ... using homebrew on it came later. Things like Lemmings DS gave me about the same much play time as a retail game, if not more, and it's free! True, there aren't many quality homebrew games out there, but it's better to have a way to play those few that are worth having, than not having a flashcart and being unable to use them at all.

To tell you the truth, I dislike piracy. And that's the thing that prevents me from downloading games myself - I'd rather pay people for spending the time and effort to make the game. If it turns out to be a piece of shit I'll return it to the store a few days after buying it, either for a refund or to exchange for a different game.

THat's not a question to me at all. If you can play free games downloaded somewhere with all the features on, FOR FREE, why choose not? You are morally restricting yourself from being corrupted by the game or by the notion of download games?

I don't think there will be FBI knocking at your door to check your DS collection and then sue you for a few games..
