      @valshaped 4 года назад +22

      @@creampop8553 There's a reason consoles stopped calling themselves unhackable. You don't see the PS4, with it's BSD+Webkit lookin' ass claiming it's unhackable. You don't see the Xbox, with it's "everyone can use developer mode" lookin' ass claiming it's unhackable.
      The Switch tried really hard, and got so very far -- there are no 100% software-based exploits. Even exploits that look software-based, like Deja Vu, have hardware-vulnerability components (bootrom doesn't initialize vectors, DMA controllers are not locked when going into deep sleep mode, etc.) It's Nvidia's fault, and the newer line of Switches, (with better battery life, or the Switch Lite,) will never be hackable to the same degree as the swiss-cheese launch model.
      The Horizon team did a great job securing the Secure Monitor, the kernel, and their sysmodules, and they've still gotta deal with people reverse-engineering and re-implementing their OS.

      I'm not saying that piracy is ok, thats you going in a big tangent. I'm just saying that there is no way you can say that if some one pirated a game, that means they were willing to pay for it.
      Contrary to popular belief... Most people that want to pay for a game usually pay for it, while people that don't want to pay for the games... Don't do it.
      Yes of course there is a middle ground where people would buy the games, but choose the more practical way of doing it with piracy. But its impossible to tell how big this group of people is.
      In truth there is a lot of people that bought a DS just because they knew about the R4 and how easy it was, but wouldn't bother with the console otherwise. The same for a lot of psp owners.

    I'm no mind reader so I can't say if it was written that way intentionally or not, but you cannot say with certainty that a pirated copy is a lost sale, and to report as such is an inaccuracy. Several reports have debunked this theory, often leading to the conclusion that video game piracy may in fact help sales rather than hinder them, and it is much more accurate to say that playing a pirated copy of a video game is an attempt to assess the game and is no more or less destructive to sales than the act of playing a demo version of said game.

    Honestly, that whole bit of them going after flash cards feels like serious overreaching on their part. Also, wouldn't be surprised if they would one day go out of their way to kill the home-brew scene.

      They just wanted to stop piracy since it fucked em so hard for Gen 4 Pokemon. Your right though very overreaching

      Based on the excuses gamers make over hacking, I'd almost rather leave an alchoholic alone and trust he won't steal my beer, than I would trust any gamer not to copy all my games.

    A friend of mine heard about R4s online in high school. This friend has some good memories playing hacked translated versions of Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver before they ever came to America officially, as well as Pokemon Black and White, Scribblenauts, and Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. My friend still has his R4 to this day.

    if pokemon didnt cost 35 for a used copy, or even a price drop for a new. maybe we wouldnt try to pirate it.

      Nintendo doesn't make any money off of the used copies anyway.

    My best experience with DS homebrew was connecting to the DS’s “discontented” WFC being able to get event Pokémon and Items from Generation 4 & 5 without any modification or outside programs. I was finally able to play the liberty Pass event in Black and White Amun’s other things.

    It's amazing what hackers can do to make the DS much more better yet Nintendo can't do the same for the Switch.

    My favorite Homebrew on the DS is the one that allows me to import/export save data from my GBA games to use in other methods
