Has the Nintendo 3DS been hacked?

[ninnyjams]

You're absolutely right.
Anyway, the only reason I'm posting this is to welcome you to the forums. We're getting a bunch of new members because of the possible 3DS hacking news.
I suggest you post an introduction. Again, welcome to the forums.

I've been a lurker for years! Or rather, I discovered this site years ago and have spent much time on it, mostly waiting for the 3DS to get hacked.

Really excited about the homebrew potential for this, though I'm not getting my hopes up. I actually was thinking about selling my 3DS when I decided to check the site for the first time in a couple weeks. I know it's silly, but homebrew actually encourages me to get more games. If I use my 3DS more, I end up wanting to use it more and more on top of that.

3d homebrew would be awesome

I know its a distant fantasy at the moment but 3D enabled PS1 and N64 emulators sound awesome. Someone needs to knock up a Virtualboy emu STAT!

 

[BORTZ]

Wow word travels fast. Ive seen a few other (credible) sites quoting us and sifjar's post explaining the two exploits...

 

[Auyx]

That would mean 3DS mode would need to be enabled. That means it would need to be hacked. I highly doubt that will happen. I mean, look at the DSi, DSi mode (The camera) never got hacked(If it did, it took a really long time) but it was still able to play backups + homebrew.

Wasnt the Cyclo DSi able to run DSi mode homebrew?

Haven't been on GBAtemp for several years now, and the one day I randomly come back, this is what I see! Maybe it's a sign...

does the top screen get "fully lit" in DS mode? honestly it just looks like a black screen to me, the color being off due to the angle of the camera...

it has been hacked by a chips seller that means that they are going to sell something to us to hack it xD

 

[nano351]

I doubt the name of the game will be released any time soon nor the inner-workings of the exploit. It'd be best to have some type of homebrew channel ready to be installed so that when the exploit is released it can be installed and users would be relatively safe from nintendo doing a hotpatch removing homebrew capabilities.

It looks like that the chip retailer only showed the news from other place, but I'm not sure about it

The only thing I want is something to remove region lock, it's so restricting!

Too early to tell, my friend.

I really hope this is true.
Region free gaming FTW! ^_____^

"Pluupy, post: 4483460, member: 202234"]I would prefer to be able to load 3DS Roms from SD, drop them into the 3DS main menu, and load them there. Similar to the eShop bought games.

If that's possible it would be great like the PSP.


It's also better not to get ahead with our selves as this might not be the real deal. Up to this point anything can happen.

Can someone explain this to me? The little 3d light isn't on. Doesn't that mean that it isn't in 3ds mode? Wouldn't that most likely mean that someone made a ds homebrew which displays text on the bottom screen?
There are a lot of trolls out there. One time I thought I downloaded pokemon platinum months in advance and when I loaded the .nds file up, I got rick rolled on both screens.

Nope, during the street fighter 4 intro the 3d light isn't on. The 3d light only comes on while 3d content is being displayed, but still is in 3d mode.

3D light off means the current software does not display 3D images. That's all. Some 3DS software has the light off as well (like Pokemon Dream Radar).

Just imagine all the 3D homebrews it could produce. That would be epic.
