I think FarleyMcFirefly is talking about piracy.  Especially when the games are just coming out.  If people could just get the games for free and do it easily, people wouldn't buy the games.  This would especially harm games that already don't sell too well, as even more people would pirate it.  People can argue that piracy means more exposure and that it actually helps but there really aren't any solid cases people can use to support that argument.  

In order for this device to exist, a method of cracking the 3DS ROM protection must exist, and a method of loading that into 3DS firmware must exist. Piracy is inseperable from those two things.


Well the video I linked seems to show a 3DS cart have ROMs downloaded onto a microSD, slipped into the (presumably) empty cart and play the game (which I hear is an untouched ROM file??).  That would mean all you need is at least one microSD + the cart to accomplish the piracy, because the 3DS ROMs (still encrypted) exist.  

Of course I really have no idea if this is really what's going on with the video, but that's what I'm reading people say about it.
