3DS HOMEBREW Discussion Thread [exploits/carts/applications/games]

The Wii had that too--the way around that is to mod your OS to think its a newer version than it actually is, or to mod the game to remove that requirement.

Yeah, I know there's ways around it. Initially it was being argued that it just couldn't be patched at all, rather than that it would be patched and people would find ways to get around it.

They can totally issue a patch, which won't accomplish anything for dedicated people. I know my 3DS wifi is already shut off. :)
 
Man, it released in 2011, crazy

Happy ending is my GameStop held copy was actually held for me :)

Unless this goes for $100+ resell I'll keep it



Check your targets, Five and belows , best buy clearance bins/used bins , I've seen it there for ages

The 3DS has taught me that my foresight is fucking terrible.

First I buy an EU unit after the announcement of localizations of SMT4 and RF4... only to have them both delayed significantly and then released as DD only.

Then I turn down a chance to buy DOA and this game, knowing that they were likely exploitable games.

...........and it's sold

Ahaha, fuck this is getting ridiculous.

Also, just started to see £100 listings show up. At that point you might as well buy a second 3DS if you wanted it for region free.
 
I really don't see how this is supposed to take off at this price and availability

Yeah it really wont take off, you have to imagine most people buying this game arent developers. Is there any 3DS emulators where interested devs could try their stuff out?

3DS homebrew devs probably have Gateways, which have been able to run 3DS homebrew for a while.
 
I'm so annoyed that I didn't log in to GAF all day. ARGH. Just ordered this on eBay US for $40 + $22 shipping and prepaid 'customs fees'. £26 GBP, could've been worse. Some PAL copies on eBay are going for £100.

Anyone know where to get a decently priced PAL copy? I'd be tempted to buy a standard white 3DS, PAL one if I could get the game at a decent cost.

Ordered a copy for $25 in Sweden, only thing is the shop said it was "Available at external warehouse" and they don't actually have it in stock right now. I really fucking hope that's the case and their wholeseller has a copy collecting dust, just waiting for me.

This was £2.50 to buy earlier:

You guys are fucked if they patch it before the exploit is released. I hope you realize that.

Then you'll all be stuck with useless copies of a mediocre launch-window title and the only winner in all of this would be Ubisoft, asking themselves "WTF, why did this game start selling so much!?"

Though they won't have to ask long before finding out why.

1. It cost me £4.28 and CEX are offering £26 cash trade in for it.

2. I have a 3DS which I will be keeping offline for this.

Keeping a 3DS offline is not exactly rocket science...

Your second point is alright, but if for some reason these cartridges get less desirable, the trade in value will fall, no doubt about it.

They will never reach the £5 mark again unless other exploits are found, making this game useless. Even if that happens, £5 isn't exactly much lost.

Some people will just stay offline and not update to make sure that this doesn't get patched on their system.

it says DealTavern

I bought it from them too, but mine says "Preparing for shipment".

Does yours just flat out say Cancelled?

I have it from them and it wasn't canceled for me.

...Yet

I better grab some booze just in case
I bought from Dealtavern too. Still says preparing for shipment and estimated delivery Friday, I got it for $10 about 45 minutes after the reveal. Fingers crossed.

When did each of you buy and for how much?

Dealtavern still has the game in stock for $50 now, if an Amazon seller cancels for obviously bogus reasons is there any recourse for the buyer?

you know very well that all patches can be erased right? and in any case, just not updating to whatever firmware comes is more than enough

I was wondering this too since they clearly have in stock

But it can't read back-ups of retail games. What are gonna do to play upcoming 3DS games?

My PAL New Nintendo 3DS is being sent out to me tomorrow. That will be for my games and eshop, and my old 3DS will be used for offline homebrew. Sorted.

I'm buying a 2DS just for homebrew and emulation. My XL will go untouched.

That's actually not a bad idea. But I can't find the game here, so... I'm fucked anyway.
