How to get hacker status

[hetoan2]

just make a spam post every 2 months and you'll be fine :D


Or you could just help someone out every once in a while.

I'm sure Link could put you on an exception list if you asked.

I agree that a test like this is a good idea, though it was kind of intimidating for a moment. ("You want to post some codes? Sure, after you take this test.") 

My problem would be the 3 month limit. I tend to only hack when I get time off from school, (i.e. spring break right now)...
It wouldn't be fun having to take the test every time I find something worth sharing.  :\

Only accounts never doing any post for 3 months get deleted.. 1 post lurkers get deleted after 6 months.. 2 posts+ and you're safe!

YES! I'm in the clear :D

... not that i'm saying i'll never post again :|

Is a perfect score required for hacker status?

Can the test be re-taken?

A perfect score is not needed and the test can be re-taken once it was reviewed.. I just reviewed your test, there was only one error inside:

Code Select Expand

       Question: What code would you use to write a 16 bit value to address 811BD12E?
Expected answer: 031BD12E or 131BD12E
   Given answer: 021BD12E

A very common error, as many people believe they have to change the ba to reach 81000000+ addresses. Anyway, everything else was good!

i know i havent posted a code in ages, im so sorry but ive been piled with a crap load of revision and coursework since i have exams really soon.

ill honestly start hacking  again as soon as i have time and thank you not taking away my hacker status despite the fact i havent made a code in ages

do you need an USBGecko to take this test?

[Benedict]

I just don't get this whole thing... I only test codes really, not make them.

If I did buy a USBGecko I proberly would not be able to use it. This is all just too complicated...  :(

[Romaap]

You need an USBgecko if you want to be a hacker

[Jassim]

sorry benedict but testing codes doesnt make you a hacker.

Seems like the usual GBATemp users who think they hack by using Ocarina...

Yes, I know. Hacking looks easy, but its not, is it? I mean, looking at the tuts it looks just so  ???

Once you get used to it and know what you're doing its not hard at all but when you first start you kinda feel lost on some things.. (from what I've experienced.. :\)

Link, shouldn't you change the bit where it says "Two secret areas"? too one?
