Re: Nintendo Spain Secures Win Over R4 Card Retailer

Sionyn

indeed notice the trend the 'high rate of piracy' made nintendo a lot of cash the DS and WII were phenomenal success. Now look at wii u and 3ds little to no piracy and phenomenal flop, strangle piracy help sells consoles and software.

The gateway has been sorted it only works on 3DS with firmware 4.5 below

As for dumping your own games nintendo would say that, but unfortunately for them TOS and EULA have no real legal binding simply because your agreement is after the sale.

I appreciate that nintendo wishes it can substitute a contract after sale, that nobody reads, they bear no relation to a contract negotiation and clicking reading or printing through them does not constitute an acceptance of nintendo desire to change the terms of the sale. Their selling goods which are governed by sales of goods act.

The light gun wont work

light guns use photo diodes to detect were the gun is pointing at the screen. when the trigger of the gun is pulled, the screen is blanked out to black, and the diode begins reception. All or part of the screen is painted white in a way that allows the computer to judge where the gun is pointing, based on when the diode detects light.

When the trigger is pressed, the game causes the entire screen to become black for one frame. Then, on the next frame, the target area is drawn in all white as the rest of the screen remains black. The Zapper detects this change from low light to bright light, as well as the duration of the "flash", as the different targets on screen will flash for different durations. This is how the game detects if a target been hit, timing is crucial here, and why lcd plasma monitors wont work with the image possessing overhead and lag to produce the picture means this method of detection will not work.

your paying a excessive amount for something that could easily be done with $10 class FPGA

Re: Poll: Have Your Say On The GamePad's Role With The Wii U Virtual Console

its shame well never see snes games on 3ds and now gba most likely too despite the 3ds having the gba bios ready to go homebrew might solve these issues its same nintendo wont not wanting to cannibalise the sales of virtual console games.

the 3ds is more capable than wii its a great shame nintendo won't take advantage it in terms of virtual console. the 3ds already for gba games but were they ?

Re: 3DS Region-Free Hack is Hacked by Hackers

what happened the use of a logic bomb. A logic bomb is a piece of code intentionally inserted into a software system that will set off a malicious function when specified conditions are met. For example, a programmer may hide a piece of code that starts deleting files.

what happened here was the developers of this flash card device implemented code that destroys the 3DS firmware when activated in case on after a certain date when exit settings. It dose this by 0 all the data on chip which stores the 3ds firmware.

when the 3ds is broght out of reset the reset vector (the physical memory address FFFF*** proceeds to look for the 3ds system software once the bootstrapper (hard coded) has booted and jumped to entry point containing the 3ds system software.

essentially the device manufactures coded a bomb that purposely destroys a 3ds if it thinks its software has been modified.

Re: Without iOS Support Nintendo "Doesn’t Reach Today’s Kids" Says Apple Advocate John Gruber

Sionyn

its sad but true, Nintendo are loosing money right now their products are expensive and software is too compared ios android and steam. They made a bold move charging the same for AAA games lets not even think about price of apps on ios and android.

There slowly loosing their relevance android and ios are huge untapped potential for Nintendo which could save them, but they also have the problem it competes with the platforms they offer.

Re: WayForward Launches Kickstarter Campaign for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero

Sionyn

i have backed the campaign, but that it you see that it, they made their money my question was is right they charge for this game after they already asked people to pay for the game to be made, this isnt just wayforward up to these tricks.

seems unethical to ask for money to make a game and then profit after the game what about the kind backers who paid for it to be made do they get a cut ? or maybe it should be free since the development cost have been paid for

Re: WayForward Launches Kickstarter Campaign for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero

Sionyn

cool and good luck to wayforward love shantae

one thing i never understood about these types of campaigns for making games is the fact YOU pay for the development of the game THEN YOU have to pay for the game seems like a raw deal, shouldn't it be free if you already paid for the development. The guys who made carmagedon did something similar starting a campaign to port their game to android they decided as a good will gesture they'd release the game for free for a short amount of time to thank the backers.

Re: Reaction: The Pokémon Bank and the Inevitability of Online Charges

Sionyn

shysters it undeliverable how many people justify this add expense, with the advent of tablets as well emulators as well as piracy its up to nintendo to offerer better value to compete give the consumer something piracy cant. there is very little to no cost for the pokemon bank, your talking kilobytess of information the price is unjustified and panellises real customers in hope some pirates spend $5 same reason with the whole DLC fiasco of last gen a hedging of bets.

money money all the time what a devouring greed

Re: New 3DS Firmware Update 6.0.0-11U Now Live

Sionyn

seems Nintendo are trying counteract the the new flash card thing by adding a new save game crypto to counteract a exploit thought to be used by the unreleased flashcard. Quite funny if it has been blocked before its been released.

This updated firmware added support for a new gamecard savegame keyY generation method, enabled via NCSD flags. Every gamecard which has a system-update >= 2.2.0-X uses the keyY generation method added with 2.2.0-X, therefore every game which would release with this 6.0.0-X system-update would use this new keyY generation method.

Re: Evidence of a Functional 3DS Flashcard Emerges

Sionyn

so you hate hackers so much ?

Well don’t forget to throwaway your 3DS its arm processors was made during the 80 by a bunch of homebrew hackers in Cambridge united kingdom building their own homebrew computer. Oh and don't forget to throwaway your medication and never visit the doctor again medical science is full of pioneers that fall into what you call a hacker.

And stop using the internet www is hack after all, built over a wider network pioneered by hackers and hacking culture and what’s more this website too uses a http server written by the hackers.

they get everywere these pesky hackers.

why not look up the true meaning of the word hacker, and see its noble origins rather than poisoned missinformation spread by media outfits
