Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

IronFall: Invasion is a free-to-start ~~glorified tech demo~~ Gears of War clone that most people only downloaded for a homebrew exploit. Hey, it beats having to pay for Cubic Ninja or The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D...

Debug Script#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Dig deeper into the code to see if there's remnants of this capturing ability anywhere. The debug text doesn't specify how gameplay is captured, but it's likely on the computer over a wired connection.

The game contains a leftover debug script used for, you guessed it, debugging the game. Along with fairly ordinary things such as anti-aliasing and Circle Pad Pro/New 3DS C-Stick movement speed settings (which were apparently inspired by Resident Evil), there seems to be a function to capture the screen output to an external computer running debugging tools.

Revisional Differences#

Version 1.1#

Added extra features for paying customers, as well as minor bug fixes.

Released after the game was taken down for four months, removing the homebrew exploit. 3DS firmware v10.4 and later will force an update check in order to play the game.
