Nintendo claims that "the heyday of piracy is over" due to innovations in the 3DS

I'm not looking forward to the 3DS, but the DS had some great games like Spectrobes that came out of nowhere.
[QUOTE=Mikaru-Yanagida;27697603]Even if they couldn't hack it I don't think many people who are serious about gaming will actually want to play the 3DS until Nintendo stop doing 3rd party garbage and shovelware like they've been doing on the Wii.[/QUOTE]
what
why are you blaming Nintendo for what 3rd parties do

Well it was Nintendo's fault for giving them licenses in the first place.

are you joking or are you actually that dumb
That's like blaming Microsoft when ATI or nVidia put out shitty drivers because MS signs the drivers.
[QUOTE=Wootman;27693254]I want one :colbert:[/QUOTE]
I do want one, but I am not sure if it is worth $250. If I do get it, it almost certainly won't be until next December when I'll hopefully have a job and Christmas money.
Playing games, and playing music- I don't see [i]why[/i] anyone would want to hack it, except to pirate games, which is already posssible. Flash carts that run in DS mode can be used on the DSi, why should this be any different?
Looks like we'd best keep or Linux Distros and Creative Commons music on the DSi.
Finally; pirates deserve the full extent of the law.

Well, that's a double edged sword there. True, the hypothetical guy torrenting Carnivores 2 is technically doing something illegal by owning it. However, if I make a ROM of my physical copy because I'm too lazy to use the disk, and assuming I own a legitimate retail copy (which I do), I am in the legal clear thanks to the Digital Rights Millenium Act. How do you make a system that prosecutes hypothetical Joe here, but not someone within the law, like myself?

IIRC they did make cartridges for arcade machines with acid in them, took them at least 10 years to finally get the open without destroying the game. (forgot the name tough.)
Nintendo you just dawned a red suit and jumped into a ring full of bulls.
Which is to say, You are so fucked.

[QUOTE=Nerts;27698397]How to avoid your console getting cracked to hell and back by nerds with nothing better to do;
1. Make security software.
2. "Yeah, this security isn't great, I wont be surprised when it gets cracked, I wonder what people are going to do with homebrew on it though."
3. No one even starts trying for a month.[/QUOTE]
No, the best way is to allow homebrew.
Ghost Recon maybe, but that lineup is pretty weak.
[QUOTE=Ezhik;27708631]No, the best way is to allow homebrew.[/QUOTE]
Offer a homebrew clone for a couple of dollars.
People care about pirating DS games?

Even the "unhackable" PS3 was hacked eventually.
Just quit wasting money making shit hack proof and just make it so good that no one will [I]want[/I] to hack it.[/QUOTE]
Actually the PS3 was cracked in only a few months, No-one focused on it until OtherOS was removed.

This is the important fact I think someone picked up on on the previous page, the people who crack consoles do it to run homebrew and linux, not pirated games. So for the 4 or so years while the PS3 could run Linux they weren't bothered.
As long as I have my trusty debugging tools and a screwdriver nothing will change.
DSi has not been cracked yet, just saying.

The 3DS is only able to be played within a Nintendo kiosk, where you play the game (behind plexiglass by inserting your hands into gloves, and you are videotaped at all times.
Half the population of China watches the footage.
If wrongdoing is detected, the player will be immediately liquidated.
Checkmate.

There's a lot of flashcarts compatible with the DSi models already

Oh, flash carts. I thought we were talking about something like Homebrew Channel on the Wii that doesn't require any additional hardware.

This is the point, I just wish that Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft realized that. People who make jailbreaks and people who make "backup" players are separate people.
If I were a company I would be taking all that DRM waste of space microchips and replace them with something everyone wants.
Like a bacon dispenser or a cup holder.

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;27712601]New anti-piracy measures confirmed.
Attempting to crack a game will result in Saxton Hale jumping out of the DS and punching you in the face[/QUOTE]
In the far-off chance that you survive the incoming spectacle of pure outback knuckles Gabe Newell will then pop-out, give you a frown and delay Episode 3.
But the homebrew apps are the best part of the DS. :(
i think it's funny that publishers think that piracy is going to be a main problem
they realize that once (if ever) they completely deal with piracy, renting agencies like gamefly and blockbuster etc are going to go through the fucking roof with business
people still don't want to pay fucking 50 dollars for a game, either lower the price or make better games you schmucks
