November 21st. The U.S. Smash + Pokemon release date, as well as AU N3DS release date. I guess it was intended to get the thing silenced out, but as we can see this basically didn't work if so.

The "one more week" tweet is timestamped at late 13th November there. Anyway, one day doesn't change that much.
Can someone please convince me that this won't eventually allow piracy? I can't even get hyped for region free goodness with this possibility
This exploit wont allow it.
However, there is nothing stopping hackers from reverse engineering it and making their own exploits that do.

There is already piracy on the 3DS. This exploit won't make piracy any easier, by itself. However, other people may find ways with this as a headstart.
So it is basically like breaking a window to retrieve a baseball ball (good), while leaving it open for people to get in and steal stuff (bad).
I'll probably do it for future region free awesomeness, but I honestly hope Nintendo nukes this somehow. 3DS is a healthy platform and I don't want that to change.

Where in that first post does it say that you ripped copies of your own games? How am i meant to know you didn't just download them off the net and that you actually made backups of your own games? all i see is pics of an emulator running roms, roms of games that nintendo are selling officially from the eshop. The thing i was hoping wouldn't happen, and there it was.
Even if you own the games nintendo forbids you to make backup copies they even mention it in every game manual, heck nowdays there are also warnings about using tools to mess with the save data . Maybe using pirate is too strong a word, unauthorized copies might have been a more suitable choice of words, if my post offended you that much i apologise.

You realize piracy is already possible on the 3ds right?! Look up Gateway.
Could we just get the pirate/unauthorized copies talk out of this thread? Fuck, I just want to read about the homebrew news and potential region free-ness. I don't see the point of arguing about how this opens the door to piracy when it's already possible without this exploit if you really wanted to do so.
They might be backups.
Guess what? That means nothing. The law in my country states I can make backups of my own purchased items for personal use. Legally.
My issue is that you saw my photos of game boy emulation and the first thing that you had to say about it was "pirate!". Aside from it being baseless and not true as I have proven considering they are games I have backed up myself as other GAF members like baphomet can attest to, it misses the point that this homebrew application is superior to what Nintendo are offering with the VC in numerous ways. And that is the reason homebrew exists and is supported.
They are backups. My backups, made using a transfer pak and an everdrive 64.
Aren't you from the UK? I thought the law here was still not exactly clear when it came to backups. Until a few months ago all format shifting and backup taking was illegal, even something as simple as ripping a CD. They recently changed that but left in some clauses for software backups IIRC.
Anyway, I agree. Let's get the pirate talk out of this thread.

You sound like a fun guy. Just let us be excited about homebrew.
Oh sorry didn't know that was a quote from within the thread, I skimmed through it. ;_;
Kinda off topic, I've been meaning to back up several of my games but I have no way of doing so. Do you back up other games on other consoles and if you do what adapters do you use?
I will be pissed if my order is canceled...
Heh thats cool
For snes I use a retrode and for GBA I use a DS Lite, a flashcart (acekard) and a homebrew app I can't remember the name of.
So where can we discuss about the potential piracy resulting of this exploit? There is a thread about 3DS homebrew IIRC, so that's actually more off topic
Just start a new thread, I guess.
i did the same. Also, i am sorry (but it wasnt me)
how do you do that? i've got a transfer pak and everdrive 64 (PM me)

Heads up AZ gaffers--there's a mom and pop store here in Tucson that has it new for $30. I was told they only have one copy though, so you might want to hurry if you want it.

Oh my god, is richisawesome being accused of piracy? Is he? We must know! We must know whether or not he's being accused of piracy, or whether people are saying that this exploit allows the use of a Game Boy emulator, which would allow others to engage in piracy of games on the Virtual Console!
Because if they're not saying that, then they're probably accusing richisawesome of piracy.
And for anyone else who cares or would like to back up their game boy titles via an everdrive:

Anyhow, I've said enough off topic stuff! And I do apologise for any derailment. Not my intention at all.

Where did you try to buy it from?
I haven't gotten anything yet. I hope mine ships soon
Edit: Oops, double post! I'm sorry!
Damn, I feel bad now.
I didn't intend to cause a fuss or any conflict here. I apologise.
Heh, it basically turns the cart into external storage! You just drag and drop onto your desktop.

I have a feeling someone is gonna find a way to remove region locking like within a week after the exploit is released.
I really hope so - there's a few titles I would love to import.

Sorry, I just saw that phrase repeated over and over, I just got a bit exasperated.

That's coool
I've had a stressful day (a really, really bad day in fact due to my condition) and the only thing that's really kept me going is my daughter - and since she went home at around 8ish, I've ended up getting a little bit all over the place again.
again, apologies to anyone if I came off abrupt. Didn't mean it. let's all have a good discussion about homebrew and the pros and cons of this stuff.
THERE'S ONE MORE COPY LEFT AT 10 SHIPPED

(bought a second one cause 10 bucks for this game is a steal)
*edit
Guess it's gone now.
