>On the 22nd of November, Marcan of Hackmii.com released the Homebrew Channel as an open source application, removed the anti-emulation hooks, and fixed a few bugs in Dolphin so that it could run properly! Nearly a decade after its inception, the homebrew channel is finally emulated!
I've never really understood this part of the emulation / modding scene - until recently they were very closed.
Edit: from the source release - Note that the code in this repository differs from the source code used to build the official version of The Homebrew Channel, which includes additional protection features (i.e. we had to add reverse-DRM to stop scammers from selling it).
Makes sense. I'd like to see the code that was used to detect emulation and modification.
- JonnieCache 10y agoIt's also to do with the homebrew scene not wanting their code to be used by pirates, and wanting to be seen to be actively preventing that, to try and protect themselves.
