Wow, what? Whaaaaaat? How does this even make a lick of sense? You're not going to support devs because you are mad other people aren't?

3DS Homebrew Channel imminent (?)

Perhaps a bit off topic but does anyone know if a similar device as the Retrode exists for 3DS? Not to keen on flashcarts.
Nope.

Precisely. I posted earlier what @smealum said about it:
It is still handy for datamining games though (like Confirming Tharja's deletion from SSB 3DS).@smealum said:
Yeah, it's only good for DetectiveGAF and for ripping models and textures for Garry's Mod.

do we know the game needed for the exploit yet?

Nope, would defeat the purpose if they announced the title and Nintendo decided to go all out and block it before the release of the N3DS.

It should be announced this week or next.
you mean of Dead or Alive, right?
it wont, it's not a save exploit. if it is that game at all.
No, its apparently coming out when the PAL model is released next week.

If someone creates a hook for it and it's possible to use said hook in a game that isn't "the Homebrew channel." Possibly.

So... this thread had escaped my attention.
1) How do we do this?
2) What does it allow (emulators?)

1) Check my link for some details, but more details will be available when the exploit is released this upcoming Saturday.
2) Any 3DS homebrew that doesn't allow playing backups/piracy. Not much is out there yet, but expect the scene to blow up after this release.

Thanks, so looks like we'll need a particular game to make the exploit work, i.e. the Twilight Princess trick?

Yep. Kind of sounds to me like it could be multiple games that support it, but there's no way to be sure.
Aw yes! Just in time for when I get my New Nintendo 3DS.
Really glad that gameyob works. Superb game boy emulator with supergameboy colour and border support. Will be amazing to play through Donkey Kong on my 3DS with those features !!
It also supports the GBC bios, which means you get the correct boot up screen for games and even the switchable colour palletes for monochrome games.
Seeing as I've already ripped my extensive game boy collection (using a transfer pak and everdrive 64), I never, ever need to touch Nintendo's gameboy VC again!
Apart from the two oracle games, I don't own those - but I do on the VC.

Uhh... Will this enable piracy?
No. It does not.
Nothing stops people from reverse engineering this exploit though, unfortunately
What's been said is that this Homebrew channel installation won't enable you to play ripped games iirc, but that could just mean that it isn't built in, and will rely on another homebrew app. I can't see how it wouldn't happen though :/
Sooner or later, yes.

Nice, I will test this out on my OG 3ds before putting it on my xl. BTW do we know what would be the exploit game yet?
Nope, we will find out around thursday or so.

At this point, would it be worth it to import a New 3DS from Australia/Japan and then use the region-free capabilities of the exploit to play retail US games?
Not yet.
Us in Europe can import from Australia to play our games, Australia have a local launch and japan is obviously covered. America is the only region with no option other than to wait.
I would advise waiting for feedback on the exploit before importing.
I wouldn't count on getting much usage out of this on the N3DS. Nintendo can just release a mandatory firmware update that shuts down the exploit and is required for any new games to run.
Not much point in having a new system and only being able to play one or two of the new games on it.

I disagree. This happened with the Wii and PSP,and guess what? The homebrew was patched to overcome it, avoid updates and install custom firmware every single time.
Every time Nintendo released a new Wii title with a forced firmware update on it it meant jack shit because homebrew bypassed the upgrade data for games.
Personally I'm buying the New 3DS next year, so if I can use this to make my launch 3DS region free after I do the system transfer, that would be great.
At that point I wouldn't have to worry about firmware as I'd keep the old one offline. (Unless they start including firmware patches on games)

RIP 3DS
Good job guys.
People will pirate MH4U, it will bomb, and we will never see another MH localization.
The end of an era.

Save that for the new Gateway exploit

Yeah, that explicitly allows piracy from the getgo, so people should be directing their anger toward that.
Piracy also killed the DS.
And the Wii. And the PS1.
Regardless, lets move on from this. It would be a total shame imo if this thread was fucked up for us who have a positive outlook on homebrew.
