Dr Pikachu, we know it boots itself. It will boot itself like normal, just using a slightly modified SAVE stored on the cartridge. The ROM won't be modified, it will still boot like any normal game.

Must be a troll account or just very confused.

same on 3ds it boots the game... the rom.. then reads the save... like a wii....but from it internal memory on the cart...

Except the memory is in a different place. You can take the wii game somewhere else but still not have your save data. You can take the let's say Ocarina of Time game somewhere else and still have your save data. Different place, different method.

Post count doesn't matter. It doesn't imply education. You guys seem to forget that the cartridge reads the cartridge, not the 3DS. You continue to ignore the fact they don't read from anything else.

No it doesn't - memory handling is on the 3DS side of things, the cartridge is merely storage. It does not execute any code outside of what the memory controller inside the chip does.

The cartridge is inserted and sends a handshake message to the 3DS, which in turn reads the header information and the memory address to the game proper. After that handshake, if the user chooses to boot the game, the 3DS uses this address to copy a portion of the game into main memory and boots the code. The save file could be anywhere, the 3DS receives an address to it as well. What matters is that you can modify a save, and with this exploit, apparently the system does not check whether it is legitimate or not. The 3DS is entirely capable of reading save files from the SD card, which is how downloadable games store them. The problem with that is that saves on the SD have additional protection that nobody wants to bother with without a hack to analyze it already.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
