Will not work on 11.2. Don't ask.

Implementation of the slowhax / waithax ARM11 kernel exploit. Kind of intended as a reference implementation, sort of based on Steveice10's memchunkhax2 implementation. Definitely does not look the cleanest possible, feel free to contribute.

Can only work from 9.0 to 11.1, as the vulnerability was patched on 11.2. Use faster exploits if you can, though.

Only tested on my 10.3 New3DS, but I don't see why it would fail on other consoles. There are no hardcoded addresses in this implementation.

Exploit written in less than a day. Finding the strat took more time. No one really seemed to care about doing it apparently...

waithax is just an alternative name for slowhax.
i used that name because it was more self-explanatory about how the exploit worked.
I didn't know the alternate name existed. Besides, most people here know "slowhax" better than "waithax"
I'll ask about a thread name change.

So this is a exploit that allows downgrading past 10.7 firmware up to 11.1? and it takes a long time to use, hence why is called these basic names, slowhax/waithax? I'm confused. I just need to know, i have a 3DS with 11.0, is there any method that isn't dsiware that will work? Or is that still under process of developement?:blink:

In theory, yes. Though this is a basic implementation, not a fully ready downgrade enabler.

Hate to ask, but from someone that could be declaired a n00b. How does one go about using this? Are we waiting for someone to make a program?

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
