Homebrew Secret Code in 3DS Homebrew Launcher

[AlbertoSONIC]

Today morning i was checking the homebrew launcher code. While i was "reading" the main.c file, i found that:

static const u32 secret_code[] =
    {
        KEY_UP,
        KEY_UP,
        KEY_DOWN,
        KEY_DOWN,
        KEY_LEFT,
        KEY_RIGHT,
        KEY_LEFT,
        KEY_RIGHT,
        KEY_B,
        KEY_A,
    };

There's a secret code into the Homebrew Launcher:

UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A

I tried it and here's what happend:

Water has been replaced by beer! Enjoy!

P.S. I know that this thread is useless, but i wanted to share this with you!

Aaahh the good old Konami code

 

[sailor_moon]

Hahaha, That's pretty adorable~ Thanks for sharing this. Adorable in the sense it's the Konami Code. (=

 

[gamefan5]

Yep, the classic Konami code. Damn... XD

Now I wonder if someone will come here and ask "So this means we have kernel access?"

On topic: I remember those suggestions of making it beer instead of water in the Menu contest, although they weren't mean to be taken seriously; it's a neat detail, I suppose.

We're talking about homebrew after all! Nice one, smealum!

 

[gamesquest1]

yeah someone shared this in the release thread, but didnt say how.........funnily enough the first thing i tried was the konami code....didnt work when i tried it though.....maybe i didn't press it fast enough or something though

Smealum really deserves a pat in the back and a "Ha ha! I see what you did there, you sly fox".

What an interesting and curious "feature".

The only thing the Homebrew Launcher is useful for, displaying a silly graphic.
