Homebrew 3DS: ssspwn exploit works on firmware 8.x, Smealum hopes for a release “soon”

[chrisrlink]

I'm still on 7.x might not update seeing that he'll release it if it works on 8.x it'll work on 7.x

Why do you want to watch anime on a 400x240 screen? I don't think that would look very good...

It actually does loook good. Although the screen isn't as large as the Vita, I've watched anime on the 3DS and it looked like 720p quality.

Yeah well nothing like my laptop or smartphone, but yeah why not, if people feel like 3DS should have a media player I'm not gonna go against it, I would personnally enjoy a good music player that'd support many formats and tags on the music, if that comes with a video support I won't say no...

LOL and there was I looking for a firmware <4.5 (which I got) and it looks like they might be other ways to hack the 3DS... I am hoping for a N64 Emulator I would love to play the Phantom Menace pod racing game lol.... That was so cool

Also 3D films Just like I used to on my HTC

Hell yeah I also had pretty fun times on this game, Rogue Squadron 3D and Battle for Naboo were also quite epic Star Wars games

You picked one of the worst devices to even attempt to watch mkv's on
The $50 junk noname brand androids tablets are more capable at running mkv's then the 3ds

 

[migles]

i wonder if ssspwn uses any 3ds game :/ (on wii the name of the hack did mean something...)

What are the chances the Gateway team reverse engineers this exploit to be used for piracy?

Honest answer.... Who knows...

I sincerely hope they never do reverse-engineer it.

 

[gamesquest1]

well seeing as smealum was saying he was concerned about releasing it due to piracy i would say there may be a slim chance, but he also said this in itself would not allow piracy....if anything i think it could only be used to help exploring for other hacks

 

[xBleedingSoulx]

I personally hope Gateway do reverse-engineer it, they're the only people with the abilities to hack the 3DS for piracy, that are willing to do so anyway.

 

[Gadorach]

I sincerely hope they never do reverse-engineer it.

It'll be fairly easy to reverse engineer the exploit once it's released, but the problem is that it is, as Smea said, not able to, in its current form, break the 3DS security to the point of allowing kernel access. As a result, even if Gateway, or another team, does find a few other uses for it, it won't be able to mount or disable the card protection checks or take over the 3DS kernel.

The point is that it is an exploit, but not the exploit that the pirates are looking for. It will, however, allow for most of what we want on a homebrew front.

They can't be the only ones, other people will be able to do them, I personally wouldn't rely on them alone. Gateway can reverse-engineer all they want, but it wouldn't be of any use due to the 3DS' security for complete kernel access.

I'm staying on 6.1 until either Smea or Gateway release a 6.x+ exploit.

 

[Gadorach]

I'm staying on 6.1 until either Smea or Gateway release a 6.x+ exploit.

Though the Kexploit was the only thing closed in 5.x, and the NDSet usermode exploit was closed in 7.x, there also haven't been any other real exploits closed since then that we've been informed of. As a result, it should be relatively safe of an assumption to make that you can update to 8.x and still have access to whatever exploit will, at some point in the future, be needed to completely take over the kernel in any of the +4.5 kernels. Basically, Nintendo isn't really known for searching for exploits and patching them before they're publicly found and released anyway. As a result, they should be available as long as they aren't released.

This is only my personal opinion but I stop the caring for 3DS hack and the region block issue. I own JPN and US 3DS. Import Japanese many expensive be cause sa ly I live in USA now..., So now I only rely on 3DS USA because such names like Senran Kagura, Bravely Default, Project Mirai become available. But !! I still wish they are bring Konami game ラビリンスの彼方(Labyrinth no Kanata) to USA. Then become very satisfied. I will not lie, I will keep eye on 3DS exploit progress. I too want very useful media program on 3DS.

Short ver: I start care little for 3DS exploit. Now I know how USA gamer are feel with localization of Japanese games lol

and is working hard to make the 3DS scene a good thing...

3 years in progress and nothing (useful?) released whatsoever, just possible shopped pictures and gloating.

read that post above yours....why do people seem to think creating the stuff is the exact same thing as clicking download on stuff....if you have never hacked a console your self, not just downloading a cfw installer and following a step by step tutorial, i suggest you keep your opinions about how easy it should be to yourselves....you obviously don't understand the half of it
