Hacking 3DS flashcart came out and video inside

[ieatpixels]

You guys are pretty annoying.

This IS an advancement, there was protection to stop the old flash carts from working.
This will help the 3ds to sell IMO.

The hackers aren't lazy, this is just one small step.
I'm sure they're working on getting the actual 3ds os hacked aswell as the 3ds roms.

This isn't really what nintendo or whatever were refering to when they said it'd be hard to hack.
This just adds what we pretty much already have, but I still think it's pretty special from a consumer prospective.

"Let me just clear things up. This is not a 3DS flashcart. It is the R4 used on Dsi. It is not possible to play 3DS games from it. You can't use your current DS flashcart (no matter what brand) on it. The R4 team has managed to hack the 3DS in order to make it run. Nintendo has made a "whitelist," built into the 3DS. It's a lit that contains the names of all games that can be played on the 3DS. These guys have modified this list, making it possible to run their flashcart. There, you can not do this unless you hack the system yourself. Expect Nintendo to release a firmware update to block the R4 cards once again."

I suppose though that the flashcart teams could possibly try and put some coding into the firmware in order to disguise it as a game on the whitelist or somthing...

That's how the DSi carts work. By the looks of it, it's what will be happening with the 3DS for awhile.

That thing only work in DS mode, so you can't run 3DS roms? So what's the big deal about it? For DS roms, just keep playing your DS.

Also, real 3DS flashcart running in 3DS mode that allow you to play 3DS roms are probably gonna take a while to come out. Just because they broke the DS mode on the 3DS doesn't they can crack 3DS mode at all. It's not even close to happening.

Way to go Captain Obvious. It's been said too many times now.

Just sent Team Acekard an email and they replied:
Hi,making current flash cart run DSi and DS game on 3DS is a easy job. We just need more test. And i believe all flash cart will support run DS and DSi games on 3DS. It's just a matter of time.
Cracking 3DS is the hardest part. Since it's just come out and Nintendo had enforced their protections. I do not know how long will it take but we are working on it.
Thank you for your attention.

Nice, now that is some good info. DSi on 3DS? Finally.

Can't wait.

That's BullSh1t, they could not even get their DSi flashcart ( acekard 2i ) to run on DSi mode, hence no DSi Roms running in full mode ( with all features activated ) as did the Cyclo Team, and now they claim that they will be able to get the 3DS to run on DS and DSi mode ... yeah right, and i still suck my thumb

 

[xakota]

I think they just mean DSi enhanced games in DS mode.

Most likely referring to the damn R4 card that has announced to be 3DS compatible. That is my guess. it has an ETA of March 10th.

Info on that is here.

So is the r4 using just the public firmware? Im gonna pick one up i think if it is.

The "big deal" is that it answers a question many of us had. We didn't know if there would be additional security measures not used before that would prevent all existing cards from working entirely. We now have the answer that while some don't, some still can run.

The problem is that the R4 doesn't have a flashable bootloader to address the minor changes required to work on a 3DS. Those carts with flashable bootloaders like the SuperCard2/Acekard2i/iEvo etc do not have to re-issue the cart, just make a new bootloader available. So for future updates, I would not get an R4, but instead go with one of the other options that allow for the bootloader to be updated.

They're asking for a good amount of money for it anyways. Even if it worked on the 3DS, I'd rather get an AK2i instead of a shady R4iTT3DS

I really do doubt about the 3DS functions.. But one never knows.

Seems legit from the video on that page. Also looks like a pretty bad cart.
