I kinda wish I'd posted this on the OLD TBT when we had guys like Erin and Marlon running around. But they might still come on so yea.
Now, on old TBT alot of people talked constantly and almost 'bragged' the ability to gain 'hacked' items and 'hack' games. I just want to clear something up.
There are very few true game ''hacks''. What people are actually refering to are game 'mods'. This is what an Action Replay / GameShark device does. It installs mods into the game to force it into a result it shouldn't produce (so by entering the right code which can be ****ing long). Hacking a game in this style would NOT ONLY be near impossible (Due to the high chances of causing a glitch or irrepairable damage to the game) it would be wasted effort. Hence Modding.
Most of the things people do on Animal crossing to ''hack'' is actually just modding. You download a program to force a result the game to do something it shouldn't normally (So it is like Action Replay). Plus ACToolkit is even noted as a modtool rather.
So, why DO people say ''I CAN HACK AC WOOT''.
Obvious, attention. I can ''hack'' it to, I just need ?30 to buy an Action replay cheat disk and insert it into the wii and BAM! I've 'hacked' the game. Plus I haven't downloaded Homebrew and ****ed my Wii up!
Opinions on all this? Personally I find it pathetic when people claim to have hacked a game. Especially if it's things like Animal Crossing..
@Neo Bacon's point.
Ok, AR is technically hacking but only by the guys who WRITE the original code/find the code ETC. Anyone else using it for their games is a modder.
So if you wrote the code originally I would accept you as a 'game hacker' (as long as it worked).
So if you got an AC toolkit you're not a hacker you're a modder. The guy who originally wrote it would be counted as a hacker I guess?
