tbh i can kinda see the point in regards to detecting sky3DS.....not sure about the "has to be open source & public domain", that just seems like "do some work for us as we cba"....but for curiosities sake it would be interesting to finally put the "can sky3DS be detected?" question to bed, im fairly sure it could be, but it would be good to have proof for the "IT CAN NEVER BE BLOCKED....EVVVVEEEERRR!" gang, tbh i think it seems more like a lack of motivation from nintendo....maybe just maybe since the release sales for the 3DS shot up so they are letting it slide for a while to increase sales figures for their investors sakeswhat the shit
step1, make a homebrew app, if it loads the user is using CFW or gateway.....do i win anything?
I think the OP is just screwing around. Though, a competition like that could be amusing, for those incredibly bored, but it should be closed source for obvious reasons.
ninty doesn' fix so people thing Sky is holy and cannot be fixed, and they all just update as it will just work like all the times before, and then out of nowhere BOOM blocked, most sky users already updated as they at this point just assumed it would still work and nintendo removes more pirates from its user base than it would have otherwisetbh i can kinda see the point in regards to detecting sky3DS.....not sure about the "has to be open source & public domain", that just seems like "do some work for us as we cba"....but for curiosities sake it would be interesting to finally put the "can sky3DS be detected?" question to bed, im fairly sure it could be, but it would be good to have proof for the "IT CAN NEVER BE BLOCKED....EVVVVEEEERRR!" gang, tbh i think it seems more like a lack of motivation from nintendo....maybe just maybe since the release sales for the 3DS shot up so they are letting it slide for a while to increase sales figures for their investors sakes
but whatever the reason, maybe it truely cant be detected and blocked in a reasonable way that would be 100% safe for normal legit consumers.....but it does sound like a fun project (kinda)
They should have the next update include a ticking timebomb, which goes off after a month, where people think it's safe.ninty doesn' fix so people thing Sky is holy and cannot be fixed, and they all just update as it will just work like all the times before, and then out of nowhere BOOM blocked, most sky users already updated as they at this point just assumed it would still work and nintendo removes more pirates from its user base than it would have otherwise
yeah, that'd be great XDThey should have the next update include a ticking timebomb, which goes off after a month, where people think it's safe.
This is false on so many levels, once again because it doesn't respond to certain commands normal carts do, and also because it does respond to some commands which a normal cart never replies to. And all you need is one verified and incorrect response to detect it as a sky cart. The diagnostic tests test the entire SPI memory, among other things. All you need is a single reply to a SPI command to invalidate the cart, which doesn't take long.
Hey, look in the bright side. If I actually pull this off KARL gets a new feature...
wow... just wow...
You want to ruin the HOURS of labor people at Sky3DS, Gateway, and Pasta because you don't want piracy?
Take this opportunity to look around the world. Corruption is everywhere. Shady, illegal shit will happen. Don't like piracy? Alright, but don't fuck with those who do. I won't give my opinion on whether or not I support piracy, as the internet sure as hell isn't the place for opinion, but I will say this:
Don't like it, don't do it.
That simple... Now, take your anti-piracy shit elsewhere. This is not the place for it.

EDIT: And for the record, checking for CFW/other carts is impossible from ARM11, however you can do it from ARM9 so I'll try to look into it. Might not get anywhere though without going through the entire length of Gateway obfuscation stuff.
One day I'll understand why they use memcpy instead of direct assignment to a u32 for a four-byte patch. One day.This is pasta source code. Basicly the 2 memcpy commands patch parts of ram, if you read the first argument (aka adress in ram) of the memcpy function of ram and they match the second argument it has pasta.

the multi-billion dollar company will deal with it themselves without the Social Justice Warriors.
How's anyone here going to be able to detect Sky? To detect something you have to run detection code. Sky can only run cartridge dumps--it can't run your detection code. You'd only be able to detect it if you're running some CFW in addition to the Sky, or unless you're Nintendo.
