Piracy

So its finally come.... the war has started with nintendo :P

You are about a year too late.

i sure am :D but were probably gonna win

Eventually. But not before losing the R4 and all it's poorer quality, unsupported clones. (a good thing, but still a group that will lose).Nintendo could make a break through though, like Sony did with the PSP, and all but kill the Scene with enough anti-piracy and special checks and firmware updates. Not saying it will happen, but it could (maybe).

yeah wat really sucks is that i but my R4 around the time this started and my M3 got stolen

There will always be hackers hacking gmaes, uploading them, making patches. No matter what they do, nothing is unhackable!

PS3, I've not looked it up for a looong time but last time I checked it hadn't been hacked and that was a long time after it'd been released

PS3 Is not as reliable as the Wii and Xbox 360. They came first issuing a lot of problems and stuff. Also, Sony is notorious for not making any of it's products user friendly.And I saw a youtube video of some guy using his PS3 console for 3D rendering.

What planet are you on? PS3 is FAR MORE reliable than xbox 360, which is about the least reliable console ever released.

Nothing is unhackable yes, but it takes brains to hack it.
I bet Nintendo will think of something soon enough.

piracy is cool, i wanna be jack sparrow and keira knightley would get......oh, you mean game piracy?
no matter what they try some clever person will always hack it.
its good for us short term because we can just download games easily but its hurting the developers and sooner or later the small companies are just gonna give up because they wont make enough money.
so that means less/worse games in the long run

Not being user friendly is not what I call reliable. See the example of the in-movie blu-ray menu. There's at least 20 symbols in there with no legends or caption of what they do. And some options of the in-movie menus you don't get on the main system menu. What a way! Two completely different menus with different options on each.

I'm really scared that DS piracy is doomed. It's only a matter of time before the AP is perfected.

DS piracy is not doomed, just smells funny. The problem maybe is that hardware mods would be necessary unless someone study how the anti piracy firmware thing works and bypasses it.

They found an exploit, still needs alot of work to do ANYTHING though.

I am able to use the ps3 easily, and I'm a moron :PBut then again I had a psp before hand...and at least the failure rate isn't as high as 360's AND online gaming doesn't cost extra :P

That's an issue with the movie makers, I found my way easily, unless you ant to explain what exactly is the complication?

No, it'll only be exploited as time rolls by, maybe they could make a cfw like the psp's do and run the stuff on the ds it's self without the need of a flash cart-THAT I WANT!!!That said, despite the fact I pillage from eb games and exploit their 7 day return policy (and copy the games-ds/psp, you name it :) ) and of course download from here, I try to aim at games they are ethier no longer being made/outdated or made by ea/thq :PVery few new releases I download these days.

MR4Y · #12Not being user friendly is not what I call reliable.

Then you're using the wrong words. Reliability has nothing to do with user friendliness. unix isnt user friendly but its extremely reliable. User friendliness is how easy it is to learn to use, reliability is how often it fails to work or breaks down.

Hackers will think of something SOONER.But seriously, for me, a hint of guilt will remain on my as-- mind.

Is it true that AP can be perfected.Nothing is perfect in this world,i think....................

Replying to #18

no it isnt true.

well I think the APs in NDS roms main objective is not to make it unplayable but to delay(we can see it in almost all the new roms coming this time)
