Star Wars again huh lol? Well this seems like if theres an exploit he should be able to inject code. Unless of course hes editing it in real time..... Which means that we still have nothing....


None the less 2 days to 20 page thread inc

Edit: lol guy with pink 3DS, or is neimod a girl!

(I know it was prob donated or somthing :P)

It's on an unmodified 3DS, he even says so in the description.

My bet? He played the game on his modded 3DS, injected certain values, saved the game, placed the game in an unmodified 3DS and presto! Oh, Neimod - you troll you! :P

Alternatively he did something godlike and actually found an exploit that gave him RAM access, but I'd put that in the realm of fairies for now.

Ah good theory, but now you've raised everyones hopes to the max.... :P

Edit: This seems the most reasonable, for everyone it is as tho he used his ram setup as a action replay and saved his game.... (thing is could he somehow make an exploitable save with this)

If it is he could then sell exploited star wars game cards for 200$ ec, or sell it to a flashcart company for big $$$, I wonder which would profit more hmm....

Personally, I feel that the title of this thread should be changed. The way it is now, most people will think that "Neimod Exploit" = "Way to Play Pirated Games on 3DS", possibly leading to a flamewar over:

1) Neimod being a troll VS. a true hacker

and

2) The original poster being a troll VS. idiot

I'm not calling you in no means stupid, but people who have had their hopes ruined will PMS all over this thread, causing unnecessary arguing.

1) Neimod being a troll VS. a true hacker

In my opinion, Neimod is both. But it's people's fault for taking every little thing he do too seriously. A better suiting title for this thread would be "Neimod's Flickr photos update" or "New photos on Neimod's Flickr". I am pretty sure if he found an exploit, he wouldn't announce the exploited game before it was necessary... It would draw Nintendo's attention and it could be patched just like the Vita's hacks.

This happened when he posted his last pic on his photostream. Somebody made a thread here titled something like "3DS Homebrew Channel" and it was instantly full of soon-to-be-disappointed noobs asking how to install it.
No matter what we do to prevent it, it is bound to happen...

Anyways, I just noticed something...if Neimod took a photo on October 12, where does he live? Or is his camera's time wrong?

Yeah, topic title will lead to idiocy. It's great news though. Closer and closer so it seems.
And before the thread gets flooded, NO! U CAN'T HAS UR 3DS HAXORS NAO!
It's still a wip unless u see a huge post on the front page of the site. I guarantee anyone that looks at the front page can't miss it when/if it happens.
Now I'm off to check this out at length.

doubt the time's wrong. It would something like 1990 if it was.
I don't know how long the image was there before OP noticed it but all it means is that he's somewhere in the eastern hemisphere.
(I'm sure there are peolpe that know more specifics than that, though.)

EDIT : if you're looking for clues, it looks like his 3DS language was set to dutch.

That's good enough for me!!!

he is to the DSi/3ds scene as mathieulh is to the ps3 scene, lots of smoke and mirrors but no proof.
Except mathieulh sends people code and solutions that have no chance of even working wheras neimod is simply secretive. I find him genuine, just reluctant to share his findings with a wide crowd.

It's probably just a save file hack. Either change the value in RAM on his highly modified 3DS, then save, or else use that 3DS to extract the save in decrypted form, edit it, then replace it and have the game re-encrypt it. Either that or he figured out save file decryption/encryption.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
