I had a read up about the powersaves devices the other week, have seen a lot about them but never understood what they do. I think for me they would be quite pointless, other than for perhaps making a back up save which it seems to be quite good for.
The only thing that really interests me is hacking. Just because of the landscaping options, I visited a town the other day which was hacked with pwps by the station. I think I would just enjoy messing around on it. If I ever decide to try it, it would be on my second cartridge as I'm too scared of breaking my main one. And I'd have to get somebody else to do it as I wouldn't know where to start.
I would love to learn how to hack but like others have said, I'm also sort of terrified of it. I do think I have a non-updated 2ds I could use but I'm too scared to try. @_@
What frustrated me the most were the system updates. We're expected to update to the latest firmware in order to use the internet/browser, that's where Nintendo have got you.
I'm a hacker, yes. There are a lot of great things a hacked 3DS can do, so hacking Animal Crossing wasn't exactly a primary concern, though I will admit it's the reason I first got into it. I have a lot of custom themes (currently got a one of Bayonetta set), save editors, emulators, and even a 3D model viewer! It's lots of fun.
I haven't actually been able to hack for a while now, though. I'm required to update my system before I can do anything online, and obviously updating will result in everything messing up. I didn't know this at the time, but my method of hacking (which I don't think I'm allowed to talk in much detail about here) does not allow me to use the required tool to bypass the firmware checks and play online on lower versions, but I could continue if I purchase a whole new game to get an alternative exploit running.
Unfortunately, if I do that, I will just be bypassing updates forever, which isn't a very realistic solution, so I intend to get custom firmware (CFW) running in the near future. This basically gives you full control over the whole console, and it can't be patched. So, I'm planning to do that soon, but it's a pretty long and complicated process, so I'm gonna wait a few months for some more information and possibly some easier methods before I rush into it, but that's the ideal solution.
i remember when i was 12 years old and i used a gameshark for wild world- just to turn all of the weeds and raffelesias into 99k bell bags and buy those expensive crowns.
i wont hack into my game since that would take away all of the fun putting effort and hard work into building my town. the only time id hack is to get the dlc items that were released 3 years ago since theres no other way to get them besides chopping off an arm and a limb for a genuine set
So I decided to have a read about how to hack a town last night, it looks rather complex? And I think it would be a hassle for me on this new DS as the sd card isn't just easy to pop out like on the old one, I've had a look and think I would need to unscrew the back by the looks of it. So I don't think I'll ever get around to hacking a town...not unless I find out my old DS and try to get it working. I'm impressed by everything you can do though, was watching a video and people were able to change their tsk levels and everything. Placing objects on the map looks a little tricky though
