Alright, thanks.
It's exciting to see users on neogaf who don't know how to read the OP!
Read the OP also PS, PS2, PSP and DS.

Unless he is a genius and nobody can crack his implemented piracy restrictions, and assuming this is released and the exploits works as intended/described, piracy does appear to eventually come from it.

This is misinformation as that article is about a different exploit from November 2013. This newer one is about the current hack; ssspwn and mentions how it only givens enough access for ARM11 code to run. An interesting point it brings up:
Well, why not? It's very cheap, it's pretty good and there are some indications that it might be the game. In the worst case I'll end up with a nice game I paid a whopping 8 for. If it turns out to be indeed the game you can expect the game to become a lot more expensive over night, so there's really nothing to lose in this case. Except if you really hate fighting games.

Everyone's buying it for the boobies.
Pilotwings is available on the eShop in all regions, so that one can't be it. For reasons that point to DoA read this thread. It's not that long.
Ah ok, guess i get DOA then.
Regarding this exploit, would be nice to be able to have all my cart based games and install them to the SD crad, so i can have my whole game collection on the SD card.

Ok I bought DOA. Hope that's the game haha. Also need to subscribe to this thread
What I want is to back up my eshop titles (mario, mario kart, oot, albw, kirby, fire emblem, dkcr and vc games) so I can keep them safe on my main 3DS at home, and take the other out without worry of theft/losing it etc.
Ive dealt enough with NOE support to know this is gonna be the best safeguard for my purchased games I will ever get.

People are really jumping the gun on buying DoA I think... just sit back, don't update your 3DS, then buy whatever game it is when it comes out. It's unlikely that amazon or gamestop will raise the prices on the game fast enough.

You make the assumption that Amazon and Gamestop have unlimited numbers of copies of the games? What will happen to whatever the exploit game is people will buy it starting with the cheapest copies, if news of it spreads quickly enough this will lead to those cheap copies selling out.
One thing which will be fun to watch, movers and shakers on whatever Amazon site 24 hours after the announcement. I remember in the PSP days seeing Luminus sales go up the rankings but thousands of percent* (of course, I've also seen Excitebots go up like 500,000%).
*-The working out is along the lines of old sales rank / new sales rank.

Why not? He's going to be announcing the game before their return policy is up anyway.
And you know there's a good chance of horders being there when it is announced.

It's a good game. If nothing else, people will have a solid handheld fighting game.

I'm living in China and my only means of buying DOAD is using Taobao (China's biggest online market) or getting lucky and finding a loose cart of the US version in the games stores.
It's about $16 give or take.

Yeah, it could be much worse... If it was Tekken, I would have held off until the announcement.

I live in Australia and have a 3DS from America, I don't even have much of an option if my 3DS is stolen or in a state beyond repair.
Also, I didn't see this mentioned in the thread, but Smealum has said he will be working on region unlocking post-release. https://twitter.com/smealum/status/504320213756555264
as I said above, you can do that with certain games. Every single screenshot I posted never went through Miiverse.
They'd just need to implement it on a system-wide level for all games to work... (which I'm sure is doable)

It has a level editor which is a potential attack vector, though it would require a way to load a hacked save onto the cartridge, thereby greatly limiting the number of people capable of performing the hack.
Though frankly anything in a save can be a potential attack vector (but custom stages tend to more useful). You might remember on the Wii some horse called Epona having an extremely long name leading to a buffer overflow was what started homebrew there.

Personally I don't care at all about region free. I haven't imported any games and don't plan on doing so. What would be neat is some sort of homebrew app that can rip the games directly from the card (not downloaded roms) and install them on my SD card. Being able to carry my entire 3DS library in my pocket would be amazing. I refuse to buy anything digital Nintendo until they have a proper account system like Sony/MS .

If it were able to "rip game cards directly to the SD card", then it would allow downloaded roms. No way around that.

Could homebrew be a hex editor? I always loved messing around with my gameshark and codebreakers.

Yeah, there's no way to implement something like that without allowing piracy, and even if there was it would probably be something that would be open to an exploit by another party anyways.

And how would that be any different than piracy -- technologically speaking, not ethically?
Well, its possible, but would either have to be from a dumped log or through hacking the rom.
I would strongly advise giving ROM hacking a go using NES/SNES/GB games if you like that kind of stuff. Back in the day, working out the level format for Yoshi's Island was damn fun
Using a hex editor to fix the fuckups hyrule magic caused in a link to the past was significantly less fun
That's exactly the same thing as allowing playing "downloaded roms". It's not like you could have one option but not the other.Personally I don't care at all about region free.

Come on, surely your not that naive not to believe that this wont lead to piracy on the system!?
We don't know the extent of this operation yet. It could be the most useless homebrew channel in hacking history. Also fix your grammar!
