Running unsigned code period requires either arm9 or arm11 access via an exploit. Running 3ds games that you do not own the official cart for (or that you did not legally purchase off of the eshop) requires an arm9 exploit to remove the signature checks done when launching those titles.
I make video tutorials for everything, so I will do one. I am ordering my Arduino and other equipment. However, i dont know what the micro sd adapter is used for...
I understand. What I'm asking is if physical 3ds games require direct arm9/arm11 support. If so, we could always try the back in the day solution of swapping a game while it's running (in this case do it while the ds is in sleep mode, and run a fake version of that game with injected code.
With the ps2, you would swap a game (using 007: Agent Under Fire) and swap it with an identical copy, except it has elfloader on it, to where whatever you needed is loaded in ram, and any option you chose would load up elfloader, and through that, you would use unsigned code.
With a ds, wouldn't the process be similar, to the fact is that you make a fake cartridge and use it to swap an original copy with injected code , at lets say the main menu, in sleep mode, then open it up, and select a menu?

This would not work as the game is already loaded and will error out (and likely cause you to reboot the system iirc) when you eject it. This worked for the PS1/2 (and the superslim ps3) because opening the tray and stopping the disc did not interrupt the code running, it just caused it to stall and wait for you to close the tray and spin the disc back up.
Would putting the ds in sleep mode then switching up the game with an almost identical copy keep it from ceasing up? I recall doing something similar on my original ds; not sure if it would be the same.
The INSTANT you remove the cartridge it will lock up. Not to mention the potential risk of dmg to the game or save.

Just tested it just to be sure (ejected and reinserted the same game), and as soon as I open the screen back up i get "The game card was removed. Please press HOME to return to the Home Menu." Pressing HOME then reboots the console.

It actually didn't do that when the system was first released. Wonder if they thought to patch it in for this reason?
hmmm... what if we modify the native firm localized in the update partition of a rom, say, spoof the one from firmware <=10.3? then we just could put that back into a 3ds rom and put it on a sky3ds? just an idea
Anyone knows a person who can hardmod a n3dsxl in the US? Really don't wanna screw up my 3ds by soldering. To scared to do it myself

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

@rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.+1 -
. Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them.
