Hacking Flash card teams still around?

[Tom Bombadildo]

I dont know about all homebrew makes having moved on. Ichichfly is hard at work on his gba emulator for ds flashcarts and it is coming along swimmingly.

Sauce?

If crown3ds wass real to begin with....

Prove to me it was fake.

That's the start of religion. With Crown3ds as God. Way to go.

/faith in something that can't be proved.

That was random to bring up, way to go.

On topic, I have not seen any news lately from flash card teams.

I think (and hope) that flashcards teams are working nite & day to find something to make a true card for 3ds games... the business behind the DS ones was too great... can you figure out how much will profit the first team coming out with a real 3ds flashcard?!

I sure hope someone like supercard is working on a 3DS flash cart. with the way the ds2 is with its onboard cpu. i am sure it wouldn't be so hard to use something like that as a middle man between the cart slot and the microSD Card. just have the on board cpu hand all the different ROM and save types and read/write the raw data on the microSD card. use a ds mode file browser to select the required ROM and in the next boot the card runs in 3ds mode.

Who said that DS homebrew is at a stand-still? Other than the initial boom, it was never all that common - a lot of software and hardware stuff has simply been achieved and what's left is the old boys making something from time to time.

If you mean flash carts then maybe and most of it went gba carts could run it, rebadged GBA, early DS cart, have to make it like an R4 (no savelists or other complexities), SDHC compatible, DSi compatible, maybe enhanced flash cart or slightly highly complexity and compatibility (clean modes returned after having gone to compete with the R4, below 8000 reads fixed and such).

Homebrew
If you are calling boom and then nothing I can not get behind that
There was the initial glut post passme prior to commercial roms which had a lot of interesting tech demos and the standard new device/SDK games (tetris, pong, battleships....), a bit more when commercial roms took off including some interesting things (moonshell especially but a few emulators and clones of more complex games appeared) and more we got real DS devices (also libfat and wifi bounty), by the time DLDI had come along there had been people not seen in a year or more and having to track sources to rebuild and DLDI was not exactly that early into things (we still had active GBA carts and SDHC had not come along), it was not so long after this I took reporting for GBAtemp and there was loads (granted I played them and took photos but it could kill a morning several times a week reporting on everything), I slowed but it kept coming and then it started to really slow in late 2009 (although 2010 was OK) I see it mainly as the likes of the iphone became somewhat more attractive to develop on.
There might have been slowdowns with nicer weather (although that usually corresponds with school holidays so others took things up) but unless you count a boom as lasting several years which might work for houses but in electronics/computing like this not a chance.
Qualification for my argument.... http://pdroms.de/news/nintendods/page/80 at time of writing gets you into 2009 at about 10 releases of something per page. It goes to 353 pages and starts in late 2005.

By "the boom" I meant the period when PALib was available and maintained - it was one of the first libraries aimed at ease of use rather than complexity, and it spawned hundreds if not thousands of applications, most of which are still in someone's drawer, but practically speaking, you are correct. That said, nowadays we mostly get updates to existing projects which I don't treat as new and exciting. I'd love to see a new boom seeing that we can't create 3DS native homebrew but we can still make quality DS content, but it's probably wishful thinking.

The next team to make a 3ds flashcard would have to be Supercard.
They are an awesome team still supporting the Supercard DS2.

Hence the word, "faith." Way to go yourself... was that even necessary to bring up?

This post is the start of stupidity. With you as the poster. Way to go.

I hope to Costello p1ngy doesn't warn me for this one, cuz this is totally justifiable.

Yeah, but it was completely unnecessary.

It doesn't matter whether he's right, this isn't the place to discuss it. This is a gaming forum, not a "sneak in passive-aggressive anti-religious comments whenever an excuse can be found" forum.

Back on topic....

So, as a newbie to the 3DS, I'm confused. Is there a working flash card that can run 3DS games? If so, what is it and where should I throw my money to get one?

EDIT: I'm still rocking my old M3 Real on my DS Lite, so I've been kinda absent from what's been going on around here.

No
Also M3 is dead sadly

There are stickies for a reason

My two cents: there isn't a single team skilled enough to hack the 3DS out there.

The _REALLY_ skillful guys all do it for free (look at neimod or TT), not for profit, and EVEN less for piracy.

So, it'll go like this:

1) exploit gets released by good guy
2) evil flashcart company comes along, steals exploit, produces flashcard using it
3) nintendo gets angry and patches everything, while sueing everyone's asses
4) ????
5) no more homebrew

Or as I like to call it, doing a Sony.

A question though... if things play out like you say in this hypothetical situation, wouldn't there be no homebrew at all, regardless? I mean, what alternatives would there be for homebrew (hypothetically)?
