    I got my DS when I was 5 years old, and because we bought it used from a boy in his late teens he gave me a card which had about 60 DS games pirated on it.

      @valshaped 4 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      @@creampop8553 There's a reason consoles stopped calling themselves unhackable. You don't see the PS4, with it's BSD+Webkit lookin' ass claiming it's unhackable. You don't see the Xbox, with it's "everyone can use developer mode" lookin' ass claiming it's unhackable.
      The Switch tried really hard, and got so very far -- there are no 100% software-based exploits. Even exploits that look software-based, like Deja Vu, have hardware-vulnerability components (bootrom doesn't initialize vectors, DMA controllers are not locked when going into deep sleep mode, etc.) It's Nvidia's fault, and the newer line of Switches, (with better battery life, or the Switch Lite,) will never be hackable to the same degree as the swiss-cheese launch model.
      The Horizon team did a great job securing the Secure Monitor, the kernel, and their sysmodules, and they've still gotta deal with people reverse-engineering and re-implementing their OS.

      I'm not saying that piracy is ok, thats you going in a big tangent. I'm just saying that there is no way you can say that if some one pirated a game, that means they were willing to pay for it.
      Contrary to popular belief... Most people that want to pay for a game usually pay for it, while people that don't want to pay for the games... Don't do it.
      Yes of course there is a middle ground where people would buy the games, but choose the more practical way of doing it with piracy. But its impossible to tell how big this group of people is.
      In truth there is a lot of people that bought a DS just because they knew about the R4 and how easy it was, but wouldn't bother with the console otherwise. The same for a lot of psp owners.

    I'm no mind reader so I can't say if it was written that way intentionally or not, but you cannot say with certainty that a pirated copy is a lost sale, and to report as such is an inaccuracy. Several reports have debunked this theory, often leading to the conclusion that video game piracy may in fact help sales rather than hinder them, and it is much more accurate to say that playing a pirated copy of a video game is an attempt to assess the game and is no more or less destructive to sales than the act of playing a demo version of said game.

    Imagine danganronpa on the dsi, and when it detects a piracy, it cuts to monokuma pressing the punishment button, however with no music, and staring at the screen
    GAME AND SAVE DATA OVER
    PIRACY HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY
    TIME TO ERASE DATA
    The game then cuts to this basically silent screen, with Junko staring at you, only thing other than her is text saying
    "You need to pay."

    I still have an R4 card. Bought it over a decade ago in Thailand, had that specific one stolen, then got another while I lived in Hong Kong. Back then, I yar-har'd games since NTSC cards were hard to find. Now, however, I only play backups and romhacks.

    Lol I love how they compare an "illegal" download to an actual sale, like all the people that downloaded the game would actually buy it if it wasn't available online, I think most of the downloads are for people using emulators and such, people that maybe never even had a DS or would ever buy one.

    Honestly, that whole bit of them going after flash cards feels like serious overreaching on their part. Also, wouldn't be surprised if they would one day go out of their way to kill the home-brew scene.

    A friend of mine heard about R4s online in high school. This friend has some good memories playing hacked translated versions of Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver before they ever came to America officially, as well as Pokemon Black and White, Scribblenauts, and Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. My friend still has his R4 to this day.
