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

the exploit is not for piracy, I know that well and I'm fine with it, how are we going to play upcoming games?

1) not any upcoming game until about march of next year will have any firware above 9.0, why? because they haven't released such firmware and even if they release it now, it takes some time for them to put it in retail carts

2) you might not know, but gateway users have been playing all games with no problems, backed up in a Rom or in the retail cartridge. The scene is vast and now that a exploit has been released to everyone, things should come for sure to avoid the firmware updates

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?

$10. I got it about 5 minutes after the reveal.

Don't know about the last bit. I've never had an Amazon seller just cancel my purchase. I think Amazon would side with the buyer. They're really have the best customer service I've ever used.

Cheapest I've seen is Play Asia with $23, not including shipping. This is for the NA version.

Amazon is absurd now. One seller has it for $500!!!!!

I ordered at PA today, but at this point I really doubt they'll be able to fulfill my order.

 

[rekameohs]

It's really a shame that Ubi didn't put this on all eShop regions. Would have alleviated a lot of the problem, Nintendo hasn't pulled the JP version off the shop yet.

 

[neogaffer1]

There's a Mom and Pop store nearby in Tucson. I'm tempted to call them and see if they have it even though I don't have a 3DS.

 

[mgs2master2]

So im actually playing cubic ninja, its a fun little game haha

 

[SalvaPot]

So how long until this is fixed? Its exciting how everyone is running around for this.

 

[Rich!]

It wont be, for reasons I posted earlier in the thread. That's why everyone ia making such a big thing about it.

For the retail copies, likely never.

 

[ZeroX03]

Managed to find one at an EB on the cheap but haven't been able to pick it up yet, also grabbed a copy from Play Asia as a backup.

Yes, it's fantastic - what a sleeper hit.

 

[Nyoro SF]

Yes, it's fantastic - what a sleeper hit.

That's one way for a hidden gem of a game to get noticed.

But as a buyer, you don't lose anything from a cancelled buy. However, the seller gets a black mark on their account. So they're getting a short term gain at the cost of their feedback.

Unless you count getting offline as a way to avoid patching, your reasoning was insufficient. Nintendo can customize the behavior of syscalls, disassemble the game with agreement from whoever holds the rights to the Cubic Ninja right now, or even outright delete the exploited data at some random points of execution.

With the things that Nintendo didn't do on the Wii even if they were technically possible, I won't avatar bet they'll actually do it, but the possibility is there.

 

[neogaffer1]

I'm going to laugh so hard if Gamestop did what they did with Xenoblade--purchase the rights to reprint it and do that and sell it at really high prices.

 

[Rich!]

Somehow, I don't think Nintendo will be too happy with them doing that, unlike with Xenoblade.

Nintendo most likely will block any attempt at a reprint unless the exploit is fixed.

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

Can this be used to make my 3ds region free? If so, can I swap in the new monster hunter?

 

[stan423321]

Not right now.

 

[gngf123]

Not straight away, but it has been said that it is possible.

 

[Rich!]

Awww shit guys, my PAL/region E New Nintendo 3DS XL has just been dispatched.

Absolute perfect timing!

 

[JPS Kai]

Jeez, no wonder I had SIX different people call me about the one copy I had in stock.

 

[BY2K]

Nintendo is probably already aware that this exploit exist by now and you can bet100$ they'll be all over GameStop's ass if they dare ask them for the rights to reprint that game, knowing full well why it's selling right now.

I would bet that Nintendo have been aware for a while now. If we amateurs on a message board have known for two months it was either Dead or Alive, Cubic Ninja or Metal Gear Solid 3 that had the exploit, I'm sure as hell that Nintendo would have been able to work it out too - they likely even confirmed it before smealum did.

 

[Toad.T]

So glad a local store has this for $10. I'd never live it down if I payed the Ebay prices.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Whichever one of you jerks told the Gamestop in San Marcos, Texas that you were the one who had them hold Cubic Ninja owes me gas money.

Put in my hold request this morning before they opened, got the confirmation not long after, worked, drove down to the store. Apparently someone came in shortly after opening asking for the game. Instead of checking ID or the email confirmation, the employee just goes "Oh, are you AKidNamedEddy?" Guy says yep and walks out with my game.

There were three employees there when I finally got there and none of them had any idea why people had been calling all day asking for the game so I explained it to them.

Seriously though. I know it was one of you.

 

[Rich!]

This entire situation is so fucking surreal.

 

[FatalT]

I picked up the copy I held at 2:30 AM! Success!

 

[Plasmid]

Time to go to gamestop and see if if hasn't been taken down yet.

 

[Hasney]

Feel like I need to buy a safe. Might get robbed for my Cubic Ninja.

 

[lovely ladies]

Feel like I need to buy a safe. Might get robbed for my Cubic Ninja.

put it inside your WWE 2K15 box, no one will go near it

 

[Rich!]

I am still amazed I managed to snag the last copy from game.co.uk for the cost of £4.28. I am stunned.

And it was dispatched to me earlier too, so its obviously all confirmed. If I had taken a split second longer to order, I would have missed out on it. It was out of stock immediately after I completed my order.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I just PayPal'd a user here $14 for their cartridge only copy. When's this hack releasing again?

I may have missed this deal originally but I guess that's karma for me using the Evolve error earlier last month.

 

[Impotaku]

Funny how people are saying it won't be used for piracy and literally the second picture in the first post has it playing pirated gameboy games, even more so that they are games that nintendo are selling on the eshop.

Are you accusing me of piracy? You know thats not allowed here, right?

I ripped the games myself, proof is in the GBC Retro thread. Where's your proof that I pirated them?

 

[Hasney]

This is why I shouldn't go digital.

 

[Morfeo]

The prices for this game in Pal-region is now insane lol. Really interesting to watch this unfold.

 

[gngf123]

The games in the OP are emulated, yes. Not pirated though.

It can load pirated roms for emulators, but DS carts can do that already. This does not enable the piracy of 3DS games.

 

[Impotaku]

If that is my photo (gameyob emulator, wario land, donkey kong), I ripped my game boy games myself and there is proof of that in the GBC Retro thread.

Accusing people of piracy is really not a nice thing to do.

You ripped your own games to use that's fine but i seriously doubt the majority of people out there are going to do the same thing they will just go on the net and download them. The matter remains the same though now people have a way of playing pirated gameboy games which are also been sold legally on the eshop.

And so it begins.

 

[Hasney]

Someone should make a game for the 3DS where you sail the seven seas and rape, pillage and plunder all copies of Cubic Ninja from places.

 

[Rich!]

The games in the OP are emulated, yes. Not pirated though.

They are most definitely not pirated. Those are my photos. I ripped my Game Boy collection with saves using a Transfer Pak and Everdrive 64. Proof is in the Game Boy Retro Thread where I posted my physical collection and the method of making backups.

And now I've been accused of piracy? Wow.

No accusations.

Nice stealth edit there.

 

[Rich!]

I know, I understand what you yourself meant.

Its just the issue that people immediately jump to the conclusion of "emulators!? Must be a pirate!"

I fully understand the concerns, but its still frustrating.

 

[PaulExcellent]

Nice stealth edit there.

How about you give up and admit you messed up instead of accusing peeps of being pirates? It's looked down upon in these parts for a reason.

 

[Thoraxes]

My Cubic Ninja purchase from last night was just cancelled.

Sadness

And mine just shipped

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Wow, my copy of this game will finally get some use

 

[baphomet]

Good thing baseless accusations are bannable around here.

 

[Yaranaika]

My Amazon Deal Tavern copy just shipped.

 

[Rich!]

Some guy on gbatemp has bought 15 copies.
