I thought the scene had learned from Sony to not release hacks on weekdays as that generally keeps the games from being pulled from stores so quickly.
Anyway for anyone missing this. It might not be over so soon as there is a possible Pokemon ORAS entrypoint (there is a video showing such) things will get very interesting then as that is a hugely popular game while freakyfroms is pretty obscure. Some cheap copies popped their head up from time to time.
Nintendo put this one out, right? They'll surely patch it - they couldn't do it for Cubic Ninja but it seems possibly here.
Nothing they can do without a firmware update for the physical version (I believe Ironfall get a mandatory update thinking to digital only games). Firmware update could be (forgive/correct if I'm a bit wrong) making this game do the memory shuffling/randomizing stuff that Ocarina of Time does now.
God I just don't understand what any of you guys are saying.
Okay so a game is on the eShop that is a hack? And people are buying the hack now on eBay?
Freakyforms Deluxe: Your Creations, Alive! is a retail game. It is an expansion of the eShop only Freakyforms: Your Creations, Alive!. Maybe a $30 retail version of a $10 games was a bit much though. Nearly all retail 3DS games are on the eShop (most earlier titles and some weird issues are missing).
The idea of having a game on the eShop as a hack entrypoint is there is an infinite supply of them so they don't suffer from incredibly high prices like Cubic Ninja did (as it was physical only in all but Japan and the digital version was pulled in Japan within hours). Note: Cubic Ninja is useless on current firmware.
Of course on current firmware I take it there is yet no way to do the rather long path to custom firmware so interest might not be so great.
How long are these exploits patched. Like is cubic ninja still a valid way for home brew?
Not on firmware 11.0 (latest). As for how Nintendo blocked it. I think it was really simple; don't allow Cubic Ninja access to the Internet to download the rest of its payload (the QR code could only fit so much).
