> So yea the main questoin, is can we actually make them into REAL HDLC?
Real (permanent) HDLC follows the "New Plan".
Since there are only 256 slots/spaces (and Nintendo is eating them up for their promotions) permanent HDLC should be high quality and popular (ie. voting).
Like Nintendo DLC, once "HDLC" is released, world-wide, it will be there forever.

On the other extreme. "OHDLC" is promiscuous. Any old item will do. Make up a good or crappy Hacked Item and it will likely become OHDLC. Standards are low.
So far there are only 2 axe (chopping weapon) slots, and one hat slot. They can be used to test any hat or axe OHDLC but only 1 or 2 at a time. More "OHDLC" slots may be added, but I'd like to use them for new item types (eg: nets, slingshots, fireworks?)
