Introducing NINJHAX - A Nintendo 3DS Homebrew Exploit!

[assassinz]

But I mean recording more than just 10 minutes at a time.

You can already record video with the 3DS in the camera app. You didn't know that?

 

[Joe88]

The camera is beyond terrible, not sure why anybody would actually want to take pictures much less record videos with it

 

[assassinz]

Would a homebrew version of Swapnote be possible? And would we, as a gbatemp community, have to create our own server to use it?

 

[Kiiro_Yakumo]

Terrible is a bit too harsh.
It's just not destined for serious photos/videos


EDIT #1
Homebrew Swapnote is of course possible but without a dedicated server it would be something near almost unusable and extremely painful

 

[assassinz]

Very true. But still fun for some stealth/spy applications.

What if there was a homebrew app that could record with the camera and mic when the console is closed and the LED lights on the 3DS are off so no one knows it's actually on. See where I'm going with this?

Hey, how about a homebrew version of the NintendoZone Wi-Fi hotspot? It could be an alternative to mac-spoofing with Homepass. And we could use it to download other homebrew apps to our 3DS.

Smea's exploit is real?

Half-Life 3 Confirmed.

Hi. New to the scene, but can't the Gateway already run homebrew? Does that have some limitations people are hoping this overcomes, or is this just expected to be cheaper? Thanks...

 

[Drak0rex]

And soon, we'll be flooded with outlandish requests for hombrew apps. OOH! You know what we need? How about an app that lets you use the 3DS as a TV remote using the IR? Or maybe a skype client? Or perhaps some 3DS Chat Roulette? Think of the possibilities

It doesn't do 3DS Homebrew. It has 2 cards. The first card runs the 3DS roms, the second card runs DS homebrew in DS mode. What this exploit is used for it to run 3DS homerew.

Newer TVs can use Wi-Fi so if 3DS has proper Wi-Fi stuff (I believe it has) then theoretically it could be solved that way (IrDA after all is a bit tricky to handle).
Skype client? Ask Microsoft, they have their code closed &c. (aka 0,(0)1% chance).
Chat Roulette? Like Roulette with numbers, ball, spinning thing? Interesting, I like the idea.
My personal possibility would be some CCG games and Danmaku stuff, 3DS can handle more objects obviously than DS, so more bullets at the same time incoming~!

lol Someone please explain to this person what Chat Roulette is. I'm going to bed.

 

[Kippykip]

This is great news!

 

[KingVamp]

I hope he doesn't change his mind. Anyway, I hope I got the game. Probably not. I guess I'll update while this is updated, so can keep online.

 

[Ritsuki]

Super excited To be honest I kind of lost hope for the 3DS scene, but this is some really great news ! Thanks Smea

 

[N3XU5]

Finally cannot wait for it
Can this exploit be patched in future Ninty updates?

If it does, and it will, best to never update past 9.2

 

[Dominator]

OMG My account is so oooollllld but it still works. This sound cool. I recently got a 3DS, I was in the DS scene a long time ago... with the R4 and all that....... Wow. Long live to GBATemp.

EDIT: WHERE THE hell is my horse avatar ? Costello ?

 

[RODIFIRE]

what I have to do to have my 3ds prepare?
what firmware? what else must have? (except 3ds and sd card)
I cant wait!

 

[siFippo]

Is there no love for the virtual boy in this thread?
I really hope somebody will develop a virtual boy emulator with 3d support one day. The only other decent one I know is available for wii, but to experience 3d you need those crappy red/blue 3D paper glasses, which isn't too nice.
