I don't care what people at GameFAQs think. The only way to prove that would be to dig into the game's code and find the drawing algorithm. Which...
I hate rap but geohot is a huge inspiration to me. His bravery though this whole thing is amazing.
Jaden, stop it, seriously. It happens. And now to quote myself ---------- I have my first RL tournament in a while tomorrow. Wish me luck....
Nice job taking what I said wildly out of context. You are wrong, stop arguing with me about it. I have bigger things to worry about right now....
I guess people don't read threads anymore. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PIRATE PS3 GAMES WITH GEOHOT'S HACK. I'll give you that one. People who are hacking shouldn't be messing with PSN and Sony has the right to ban/brick people who are. People who have hacked consoles and don't mess with PSN, however, is a completely different story.
I didn't expect people to call me a hippe, I thought I was going to get the usual "conservative Christian right-wing nutjob" treatment. Hmph. But IF YOU BUY something you have the right to do what you want with it! Sony not allowing people to hack their consoles would be like someone repossessing your house because you painted it. IT BELONGS TO YOU, YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH IT.
True, but let's not forget that ingesting marijuana is the only way to overdose on it (even though that's basically impossible unless you consume insane amounts of it), so it's not much better
Yes, but when a system is hacked, the overwhelming majority of people still don't pirate. It's something like 10% of Wii owners hack their Wiis, and not all of them even pirate. And the ones who do are usually the ones who wouldn't buy games anyway. You want I should explain the chart?
Are you people even listening to me? Geohot's hack has been out for months now and you cannot pirate on it. Furthermore even if piracy became possible on the PS3 they wouldn't suffer a huge income loss. But that's a different argument. In a way, yes. Ever heard of overclocking? Texture mods? I could go on... I disagree with this though. Granted, it is Sony's right because you don't pay for PSN, it just doesn't seem fair to me. Nintendo lets hacked Wii users play.
Then by this logic, Geohot is completely innocent. Allow me to cite the DMCA ruling jailbreaking 100% legal. They allowed it because jailbreaking is first and foremost intended for people to get the most out of their phone by making the kinds of apps that Apple doesn't allow, like iStrings or MakeItMine. It allows pirating apps by extension but that has nothing to do with the nature of the hack. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME THING, except it's actually impossible to pirate games at all
Hacking it and leaving it at that would have been stupid because then there's no chance for a good homebrew scene to develop (And the PS3 is capable of some awesome homebrew). I agree with Sony's decision to ban people who are cheating in games. But bricking EVERYONE who decided hack their console WHICH THEY OWN is some Nazi bullshit.
You should be allowed to alter it any way you want to. Driving it on the left side of the road is now a completely different thing because you're causing harm to people. (I just realized I sound like Thomas Hobbes). The hack allows for homebrew. All Geohot did was release a number- that wasn't copyrighted, by the way- that Sony uses to sign the PSN apps that has to go through them. Trying to sign an unsigned pirated game will fail because Geohot did not release the keys for that. The hack is only for homebrew. Sadly the only homebrew we've seen is a snes emulator, the homebrew scene stopped out of fear when this whole thing happened. So what? He doesn't have anything to do with it. If I let you borrow my baseball bat, and you murder someone with it, am I responsible?
