When you released it before its patched, it will be patched in the next update. When you wait, the exploit still works after the next 10 updates.

Okay, let's draw out this little scenario then:

1. wait years on end for the next 10 updates to be established,
2. sploit get's released... suprisingly. o.O
3. Nintendo brings next update 2 months later, and OMFG it patches the kexploit!
   
4. Nintendo ships bundles with that new firmware.
5. Newbies buy that bundle by accident and soon whine for kexploit on that FW...
6. Practically the same outcome of when it could've been released years ago. x(

I still stand on it being unfair because I know not to update my console. I am a wise person. I have updates blocked and I am prepared for the upcoming 5.5 kexploit myself...

True. I feel like this is the first time a massive raid has happened though? Is it?

first one ive heard of.

 

[Deleted-355425]

its all bullshit, who writes this stuff?

 

[BothyBhoy]

i dont think he can be touched.....unless its all the documentation on wiiubrew is it????? if that all gets taken down then thats a sure sign of trouble....

There was geohot with the Sony and Apple. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. However, a raid happening on all of these people is quite unheard of in the scene.

Damn. I remember GEOHOT. He is what first got me into hacking xD

Fucking Jailbreaks for the win!

lol, but how does this make ANY sense? If this was even close to logical, Nintendo should NEVER patch it, and then it will never get released. Do you see iPhone jailbreaks sit and wait for endless versions until it gets patched? They release what they have for the version it works on, so people have an entry point at the current release.

Thank god Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, 3DS, PSP, NDS, PS2 and Wii scenes were not this way. People developed their tools for the pure sake of breaking open a system, for the pure sense of contributing to having complete control, not to dictate what people should use it for.

What's the point of breaking away from how Nintendo demands you use their system, just to jump over to how WiiU devs demand you use your system?

That said, I do retain a tremendous amount of respect for these guys. The personal passion and skill level it takes to even begin to decipher and break into these systems is WAY over my head and always will be. I don't demand AT ALL that they release what they have, the truly do not owe anything to anyone, but I will never agree/understand to the above quoted statement. It literally makes no sense and is completely contradictory to every successful "scene" for all other consoles.

Can you imagine if every other console/handheld devs clutched everything so closely as WiiU devs do? Even the latest 10.5/10.6 exploits/downgrades for 3DS. Those guys did their incredible work and released, because of all the people on 10.5/10.6 NOW. They didn't hold onto their shit until 12.9 and be like "OK IT GOT PATCHED IM'A RELEASE MY 'SPLOITZ FOR 10.6 NOW", meanwhile all the months/years between 10.6 and 12.9 no one would have had anything.

There was also graf_chokolo, SuperDAE and co., probably a few others I'm forgetting.

Its not like Nintendo isnt begging for hackers. no crossbuy or region free there asking for it. why would you want to spend money on a company that treats its fans like dirt. overpriced classics and they censor everything.

that and the old 3ds cant play their new old snes games.. must buy new console to play old as shit games lol.

Well, the 3DS is simply not powerful enough to play SNES games with the accuracy level of the VC, so that's understandable. Use BlargSNES if you want to play SNES on O3DS

(Or just use your PC :^) )

thats been explained if you read that devs message to everyone complaining.

1. Afaik NO console ships with 5.5.x, so you can buy a kernel exploit ready console ANY TIME.
2. People are told not to update they consoles for MONTHs (like a year now)?
3. You can block updates
4. You can spoof your console to play online
5. You can patch the eshop to access it

There is NO point on having a 5.5.x console, and its the fault of the user to update it. Not the fault of the exploit devs.

I dont know what you think how easy it is to find a working exploit... When you found one, you want to make it to be accessable for many people.

 

[Raylight]

you mean what nintendo said about it?

no a blargsnes dev explained it.

 

[WeedZ]

When you released it before its patched, it will be patched in the next update. When you wait, the exploit still works after the next 10 updates.

result: Now the 5.5.1 people are happy, but when 5.6 or 6.0 is released, again everybody wants a (kernel) exploit.

Then why did releasing hacks for the 3ds make it easier to hack newer fw versions? Come to think of it, when stuff gets released for any system it only becomes easier to crack the updates. Prove me wrong.

 

[Deleted member 370671]

No, devs like Smea for example. The SNES GPU has some weird functions that aren't handled by the 3DS GPU, so the VC needs a lot of processing power to reproduce those accurately.
