You know, I'm thinking that since it takes forever to check, wouldn't it be faster to just download the .CIA, convert it to .3ds and try it on Citra instead? Convert takes only like 5 mins with a fast HDD and if it loads at all on Citra it's real. Having to install, then test and uninstall is a pain...

i bet nintendo's getting a kick from these trolls
Who says they aren't the trolls themselves?:P

How do you convert it to a .3ds?

I thought that might've been the process. That would be the fastest way to see if the leak is real.
I know, installing 3+ GB games on the 3DS with FBI takes forever!:/ Just keep in mind that you can't repack .CIA files, only .3DS, but can extract both. CIA repacking isn't working lately and still needs a fix...

Yeah I'm aware of that. I actually rebuilt a .3ds with HackingToolkit last night.

Just putting it out there... I just left work (Best Buy) and we got our shipments of the games today. The SKU's are already in the register as well so I'm almost positive we will see a leak before Friday. The games ARE 100% in the wild now.
That would line up with last year then.

my friend works at gamestop and i asked him today if they specifically had ultra sun and ultra moon yet. he said yes, so game stop has them too. so we for sure should get it before friday.

Yeah I've been a manager there for over a year, most retailers get the games the same week. SO I'm 99% EVERY big box store has them already or will have them by tomorrow. Either way, the carts are out there in stores now. 100% confirmed.

    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident

    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds
