she want to verify that person is still free and not in jail?
(it's a joke. I've read your other thread where you mixed homebrew with piracy, and your mother is not allowing you for a good reason)


I sometime would like to become an IRL mentor and teach what I know to other people, but I don't know how to do it. at home it's not the best place (privacy and size issue), any other location (for an hypothetical created association) would require big enough space to host multiple people, with different consoles, devices, computers, etc.
I would also like to teach how to develop (not just hack). making homebrew is nice.
I would like to pass my knowledge, but this time to people near me instead of internet forums.

i first thought that was real :toot:
thought!?! ... no ... he really made a thread about his mother denying him an r4i that he wanted for cfw because she is "anit-homebrew"

op i am glad to see the extent of your determination and respect for your parents (i already told you i would get a prepaid card (or a paypal account) load it up with the money and send the card to a buds house or p.o. box . . . i mean you are already gonna use cfw to break copyright laws you may as well disobey but thats just my opinion) but i dont think introducing her to a random from the internet will sway her

Oh no
Even the thing that the mother knows what homebrew is ._.

But homebrew is just homemade games, utilities, etc. It's all code written by homebrew coders/enthusiasts. It's what a single person does with it that makes it legal or not. Sounds like your mom doesn't have much moral faith in you to do the right thing, kid.

I will give it up to your mom though, she's on her game. My mom was oblivious to anything videogame related, including homebrew. I was a rebel though. :evil:

Be a rebel and do what wormdood said and go to Walmart/CVS/Walgreens/Target and buy a prepaid Visa card, it's essentially a gift card you can use anywhere, for anything, even online. Put $25 bucks on one and buy an R4i Gold 3DS RTS online.

Agree with the above. Get a job, get your own money, buy what you like.
a job . . . he is too young. legally one needs to be 16 to work in the usa . . . but he could still sign up for a site that pays you to view ads (earnhoney, swagbucks, ect) to get the money

I used to live like 20 minutes away from Springfield Mass. Although I am pretty sure your mom really shouldn't be so cool with having you meet a random person from the internet. Seems like a bit of an extreme leap in logic here. "Don't hack your systems! But it's fine of some random person comes over to teach you how to hack it."
