FreeShop and other 3DS piracy apps are now dead
Nintendo has begun to roll out changes to its Content Delivery Network that will effectively kill off piracy apps on the 3DS. While freeShop and other 3DS piracy apps were not shut down until today, the changes are already being rolled out by multiple reputable sources. The changes are expected to affect all 3DS games on Nintendo’s CDN, including first-party titles. The user behind FreeShop’s distribution page said he did not contest the DMCA takedown, but blames Nintendo for the security hole.
The software piracy app Freeshop exploits a flaw in Nintendo’s online safeguards to allow people to download 3DS games. Freeshop is designed to allow users to download legitimate 3DS games, but piracy applications based on it can no longer function properly. Freeshop is now dead, and there’s no way to get around it. While it was once popular and thriving, Nintendo has finally cracked down on 3DS piracy apps.
Despite Nintendo’s efforts to protect its customers, piracy still occurs. Piracy of 3DS games has been happening for years. The gateway cartridge and other 3DS piracy apps were developed by third-parties who then sold pirated versions of their games. Nintendo has been displeased with this and has taken down the main download site of FreeShop. Although FreeShop was once popular, the DMCA action is unlikely to prevent piracy in the future.
Why hbg put up a free nut server
Many people have asked the question, “Why did hbg put up a free NUT server?” This article will discuss some of the reasons why. A typical home user has one computer hooked up to a UPS and runs the entire NUT stack on that machine. The NUT stack consists of an appropriate driver, upsd, and upsmon in primary mode. There are several client programs, which talk to each other over a network and do useful things with data from the drivers. The NUT stack comes with a command line interface for the user, but special clients can be run through a web server as CGI programs.
Why hbg shut down operations for their own security
It seems like it isn’t a good idea to dump all your data in a freeshop. You can still dump all your data into HBG, but you’ll be selling to other dealers, rather than HBG directly. Why? Well, there’s actually two reasons. First, HBG dumps data, and second, it’s safer. If you’re selling to another dealer, you’ll have more security, because you’ll be putting all your money into the hands of a third party rather than yourself.
