So let me get this straight we're not allowed to mention the name of an app, but you won't tell us the name of the app were not allowed to mention. Does anyone else see the problem with this
It's not just one app, it's all apps that allow pirating content.
So without sounding like a dick we technically can't mention Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox or any Internet Browser, all have the potential to allow piracy
You're getting into something completely different. The point of this thread is that all ANDROID APPS that allow piracy ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE NAMED. Just like ALL PIRACY SITES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE NAMED.

Oh so I can mention then cause its on IOS

No, you can't. This is the android section, this thread was aimed at android apps. I believe there's one of these in the IOS section as well. I suggest you stop being a smartass before you get warned for it.

Don't blame GBAtemp, blame the copyright laws. The only reason you're not allowed to mention them is because if we (the temp) allowed it then the whole site could be taken down.

I'm not trying to be a smartass, like I said before I just think its a huge contradiction, one post saying, "Oi you don't talk about piracy" when the next post says "How do I get round this copyright protection" and everyone, including staff all join in in determining how to circumvent specific protection. Can you not see the ironic premise of this arguement

Let me straighten this:

Can you make a tutorial for installing APKs (cracked or not, that's up to the user) here on GBAtemp? Yes, you can. As long as you don't specify where to get cracked APKs. (never mind the fact that installing APKs is trivial on any Android device, this is for getting a point thru).

Can you name a site for downloading cracked APKs? NOPE. YOU CAN'T. That's what those apps are. Sites where you can get pirated apps. Only that they're directly on your smartphone/tablet, in form of an app. But it's the same thing.

Favouriting piracy as in sharing links could put the entire 'temp at risk of getting shut down (remember Megaupload and stuff closed only because of "favouring filesharing and copyright violation"? Yes, that's the same thing) and we don't want that to happen.

Thank you for clearing that up, I'm kinda of threatened by the premise of a warning but wouldn't mentioning the name a specific app fall into the same region as releasing the name of a specific scenes release name for a game. I'm not trying to be an ass I'm just trying to identify the line as slim as it may appear. Both would allow the end user to find the fore mentioned illegality

Naming releases isn't really that useful. I mean, you can still find a pirated movie adding the right keywords on Google, and the same goes if you search for a NDS game using its entire name and adding some keyword to it.

And still, as long as we don't give out links, everything's fine.

No it wouldn't because naming the scene release file you would still have to search and find the site hosting them on your own. Where as with the markets in question they are hosting the pirated material and when named your essentially linking to them because of that fact.

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's what I'm sitting on now- 4.9, and it seems fine, have had no issues at all
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    I don't know if people play online or such
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
