How convenient that I visited today just to see this piece of news. Holding off my purchase of a 3DS until I can get its region lock totally removed, as I like to get games from anywhere I'd like and whenever I'd like :) Looking forward to more info. (didn't read the whole thread though)

the exploit is a buffer overflow
other than that nothing


Thats a lot since its a buffer overflow that means it will be an easy/practical Fashion for homebrew, which is what everyone is waiting for some time,since it will allow homebrewing it will also kill the region lock,and yes play 3DS game files.

What do you mean by "adaptations" ?

the 3ds is new hardware with new security soo idk
i know you cant use wii code

I thought of insted of creating a new emulator, port a linux emulator for example, or made linux work, so many linux applications will be compatible (just used linux and emulators as example, but maybe it applies to other shit). This wont help with backup loaders or region locks, but it will help with many homebrew apps (IF i'm not telling bullshit)

Huh? You do realise that the nature of the exploit (i.e. buffer overflow) is not related to any of that stuff, right?

So it'll possibly be another 6 months until we are able to do anything, okay. We've waited this long, so where is the problem with waiting a little bit more?

As a responce to my previous post, I read further and Gamefaqs users just see it is a Photoshop pic or just a DS hack. I believe that we're safe.

Oh c'mon... You just know you're knocking on the wrong door... :P

What makes you think that a usermode exploit will allow you any kind of system-level access for disabling the region lock or playing 3DS dumps?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Don't say what game it is until I have enough money to buy said exploitable game
It's a game on a cart. It doesn't matter when you buy it since I highly doubt Nintendo would recall and update all the said games from around the world just to prevent a hack. Just buy it new and buy a 3DS with the current or previous firmware :P
