Can anyone make a program that instantly bricks your 3ds?

Serious response: Sending bad states to the notification LED via the i2c can brick the MCU even from arm11 userland (ie a .3dsx). That brick isn't recoverable with a harmod, much less a9lh.

That being said I'm not making it because I'm not that guy

Incorrectly write a program to control the 3DS' lights, then you've got yourself an MCU bricker.

True, but...

Partially wrong. With Non-Screen init A9LH, it's actually possible to use it to recover from an MCU brick.

Nope. Dazzozo himself confirmed that the MCU brick caused by a bad notification LED pattern bricked the i2c flash commands, which means that there's no way to recover, even with the MCU hardmod that Dazzozo has.

But if you use non-screen init, the MCU isn't sent any commands to do anything at that point, so you could write a program that would restore MCU firmware, no?

A thread like this should just be reported whatsoever.

I mean why the hell do you want to be like brickway and intentionally send malicious code to permanently damage other people's stuff?
You should make it for yourself and after proving it works breaking yours out, never get to publish it.


It's like posting on a windows forum for someone to create such a powerful virus that leaves the mobo useless.

I find joy in other's suffering. (That was joke.)

I was being serious...
Reworded; Make a .cia that runs brickway's code

1) Edit Gateway's launcher.dat
2) Run it
3) ???
4) Profit

Gatewait launcher.dat and launch it

Why not just use GW Launcher?

A 'fuck you' application?
Sounds like Gatewait.
Install gateway with a fake card,
o r i g i n a l
I don't think it's possible to make it a cia. Probably is though.
