I think a lot of hackers that are working on the 3DS aren't telling us NEARLY everything they know... I honestly think neimod's picture of the hacked RAM code (for a little bit of text) is just a teaser... Wish we weren't so in the dark sometimes. But anyways, is anyone probing more than just the RAM? I wonder if there is ANY way to moniter code being proccesed in the cpu/ onboard chip... If only there was some sort of graphics overload we could use....
Are we looking at modding the 3ds hardware in order to jailbreak this thing in theory? Sorry I am new here and I am interested with this topic. Would you mind filling me in with the details?
If you want to be filled in on what is happening, find an empty 4 hour segment in your schedule and read all 69 pages of this topic.
You'll see why some of us are pissed off.
Can you give me a bottom line? For example, we can't either jailbreak or homebrew the 3ds and the hackers have a huge obstacle that is nearly impossible to overcome for the 3ds, etc.
People have suggested using QRs, Miis, file mods, crashes, game mods, and the web. All of them won't work. Reasons: encryptions, doesn't openly access the system directly, detections of unusable code.
That is the shortest way to state what all of the 69 pages talk about. The only suggestions that have been unanswered or are in current use is hardware mods and Bluetooth.
So people think this won't get hacked at all?
So far, not right now. Neimod has made some progress, but other than that, the only other speculation is Pokemon Black and White Version 2 since those haven't come out yet. All we can really do right now is just sit and wait.
And we all know how hard that is. In the meantime just try to enjoy yourself some way some how.
I know this might sound stupid but I was thinking about Indiana Pwns, would we need something similar? BTW I'm not a programmer so go easy on me.
Team Twiizers used most of the same code from their Twilight Hack and it is achieved by using save files. The problem is that the save files are encrypted as well.
So, what people are stressing about mostly is how are we going to get the the encryption keys. One of the ways that have been suggested to exploiting this have been asking a higher-up Nintendo employee
(which will never happen). The other option has been given the scenario of opening a locked room when the key is already locked inside.
So what we are hopping for is that while hard-modding the 3DS,
Niemod will find the keys to it in the process. After all, Team Twiizers first hard-modded the Wii and then soft-modded it after finding an exploit.
Also, I just remembered this but Nintendo is releasing a DSiWare program called "Petit Computer" which is basically a program that allows you to write programs using an adapted version of the BASIC programming language. Right now it has no official date or price, but you can find it in the e-shop. I believe that this is going to be the closest we can currently get to 3DS homebrew.
