This is why this 3ds app will not be stopped by anyone:
- Because it will be opensource (if its not already) which means open source technology is not illegal in most country's. In other words Nintendo's lawyers, and the mods on this website can't really do shit.
How Nintendo can prevent this from happening in the future:
- Have every app, game, video, pics loaded directly server side. That way the video game console aka the receiver loads everything from the server (Sony anyone?).
Edit: all of you devs and video game supporters need to shut the fuck up. Bitching about the console being hacked does not help Nintendo make it harder for hackers. Everything needs to be loaded server side!!!!
Oh god, no, just no, wow, this is a horrible reply.
1) Open Source != "not illegal". What Open Source means is anyone can download and use the source, and if the original project gets taken down, technically someone else can throw the code up elsewhere, until it gets taken down, etc, repeat. Nintendo's lawyers can go after anyone they want, as long as they believe there is some illegality occurring, will they win? Maybe, maybe not, but that doesn't preclude them from going after someone. As for the mods on the site, they can do whatever the hell they want, it's their site, their rules, their choice.
2) That's a stupid solution, you want to know how easy this is to fix? Add authentication to the CDN. Console is required to submit an auth token/username/password/whatever, server verifies it owns whatever content it's trying to download, server proceeds to serve the file. This can actually be done ON THE CURRENT SYSTEMS, there's no need for new hardware, just a new version of the eShop, and changes to the server.

I installed all the keys using a CIA I found here and download games thru eshop directly. Why do u think this is better? I guess I'm missing something...

Out of region games, games no longer available via the eShop search feature, games that were never available via the eShop search feature, etc. Same reason you'd use CIAngel over TikDevil as it is.
