@SigmaVirus End users are most likely either inexperienced or malicious, but regardless of what their intent is, system files are, as @JayFoxRox mentioned in the forum post, something that should've already been done ages ago. I mean, for gods' sake dolphin-emu/dolphin has had an HLE IOS since it started supporting the Wii.
And, the purpose of emulating a system is to preserve its legacy, yeah? How hard is it to get the system files now? Trivial; hell, I just got a 2DS off eBay for $40. But what about in a year? Five years? Ten? Twenty? Should we really wait until then to do this? Or do we want to end up like the Original Xbox's emulation scene? (That is, in disrepair and desperately hoping to find some glimpse of technical documentation buried in a developer unit's NAND.)

The Nintendo 3DS is the latest handheld console in a long and iconic range of handhelds from Nintendo. The new gimmick this time around is the ability to display stereoscopic 3D so that your games will look even more 3D than ever. Xorer takes 5 inputs total. First make sure you have the program put in, if you've navigated to the folder, that just means typing in xorer so that it knows to run that program. Next up, add one space and navigate to (or drag and drop on) the 3DS dump. If we follow the earlier example, it will look like this currently: xorer 'D: dump Cubic.
I am in no way supportive of piracy (especially after having been on the other side of that conversation as a game developer myself), but should we purposefully cripple the project because of it? No! Sure, some may believe it to be a 'legal guard rail', if you will, but I'd argue that it's just the opposite in the long run. The fact that it depends on IP to boot a great majority of games and homebrew, would just motivate more piracy in the future, when a 3DS is not as common a commodity.

The days of being forced to decide to either dump your own BIOS/fonts/whatever and risk ruining your hardware, or scour less-than-reputable websites for a copy should be ended as soon as possible. When presented with this choice, the end user will always pick the green button that reads 'Download Now!', so why should we force a naïve user to pirate these to experience history in the future, when it is our (granted, volunteer) job to facilitate the preservation and reproduction thereof?
