Better than to filling the Internal memory up with patches.So the patch is saved on the SD card, if you don't have it inserted then you can't play online. :/

But you're missing the point. We're not patching games installed on a hard drive where you can overwrite stuff, we're patching games on a READ-ONLY MEDIA. and on a handheld too.like every single patch in existence...So the patch is saved on the SD card, if you don't have it inserted then you can't play online. :/
sd card isn't read only memory tho?????????But you're missing the point.

He's referring to the game cards which are read-only.sd card isn't read only memory tho?????????But you're missing the point.

How do you think you patch console games, it's just the same

a more accurate way to compare it to would be with cheating devices like the Game Genie and Game Shark. the firmware now patches the game on-the-fly, while in memory, instead of messing with the game files itself. when the game is online and loads up a glitched track, the patch fixes the map in memory. it makes patching possible on non-editable media.
anyways, i totally called this last year. i'm so proud of myself, lol.
Actually, that's a good question. The patch doesn't work in Time Trial, so I assume it won't work in Grand Prix either, but what about local multiplayer?Hehe, nice, now player can't cheat while online. Would have be nice if that patch would work online but I guess they figured that if you play offline with friends, you play by your own rules.
Kudo's to Nintendo, and to more patching of 3DS games.
well don't consoles have HDD and require installation?sd card isn't read only memory tho?????????But you're missing the point.

well of course they replace files around. they need to if they want an accurate remapping of the out-of-bound areas (to block the glitch shortcuts). when i mentioned cheat devices, i meant how they changed data while in memory, not just inserting hex codes somewhere. the firmware's OS is probably acting like a proper hypervisor now. when it loads the game, it checks for patches, and takes note of them. every time the game requests for something a patch is supposed to fix, the OS loads that part from the cartridge and then loads the fixes from the SD card before feeding the modified assets to the game engine.I doubt they do that. They probably just have it load certain replacement files from the SD card if found, similar to Riivolution but the replacement files are signed/encrypted.
Not all games require installing but if it does, patches do not touch this data at all, it's separate from the install data.well don't consoles have HDD and require installation?
or maybe i'm just not familiar with consoles in general. but it is relatively new for handhelds.

And PSP games had patches brah.

Same as any nds game. there's a part for save storage, the actual game is read-only.If the 3DS card was read only.... How are we saving?
Seperate chip in the card that save data is stored?....
Because you need to update the 3DS to get the patch. Without the patch you can't play MK7 online. If you don't care about online play then is nnot a problem for youWhy is GoNintendo reporting that the update or this patch is "killing off flash carts"?
