Is it true or fake that the 3ds is hacked??

It's most likely (~85-90% chance) true that it's hacked, but so far, the hack is worthless for us end-users. Maybe in a few months, something usuable will arise - most likely some easy text-based homebrew and primitive ROM loaders from/for pirates, nothing like the homebrew channel for at least a year, or how long it takes to explore the system's commands and properties. No devlib means sloooooooow progress.

Yes it's hacked, kernel mode control has been achieved BUT only the hackers (not the leechers which make up most of this forum) have access to it.
I wonder if there truly is a hypervisor to deal with in order to do that... If you have heard anything about that, PM please, starting to get paranoid XD

Oh Gosh, just looked at this. Looks like quite a few Members are starting to register on there XD http://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Special:Log/newusers

Is that mean you they can play 3ds roms on their 3ds.
They technically could have they knew/ programmed it to do so. However, Im pretty sure this is not on the top of there list by a long shot, since they are still learning on how exactly the 3DS works itself.

Nice so soon we would be able to run 3ds roms on our 3ds??

No. Word is, they're trying to enable home brew without enabling piracy. Do not get your hopes up.

If something does come out eventually, you can find out if piracy is possible then. Meanwhile, buy the games you want and download whatever you want on already hacked consoles.

A message by Yellows8 (he wrote it in the 3dsdev IRC):
[01:44] <@yellows8> managed to partially decrypt a savegame using the new CTR-period, however it seems the period is >0x1000-bytes.

Some minutes later, the following was posted:
[01:59] <balrog_> so wouldn't it be worth figuring out how the savefile is encrypted?
[02:00] <@yellows8> that's exactly what I'm doing, just haven't managed to figure out what the exact CTR-period is.

If there manage to find out how savefile's are encrypted, does that mean exploit with out needing the game, as it a save game exploit.

Could be wrong, but it would mean they could exploit newer games (not game-less exploits, as you say). Nintendo beefed up its savegame security on firmwares >= 2.2.0-4

edit: They already know how < 2.2.0-4 firm. saves are encrypted.

Where do you want to copy your edited save file on? To the SD card? The SD save file key is console unique.

No yellows8 has PARTIALLY decrypted it and the CTR-Period is invalid if i am right so it could take a while for them to decrypt the new savedata method

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
