Has the Nintendo 3DS been hacked?

[SD456]

Good news, very good.

I don't own a 3DS (yet!), but it is good to see, that something is happening after all this time. Can't wait to see some homebrew running on the 3DS.

I bought two 3ds XLs and have 10 plus games, my biggest hope is to get to play the Japanese games on my us 3ds, games like Pro Yakyuu Famista 2011 and taiko drumming game. I even considered importing a 400 dollar jap 3ds.

We have established one thing this is not a DS hack since we already can play DS games and emulation on the 3DS right , so this hack must work for 3DS emulation.
So next, is this legit? it is since by most of the user comment that yellow8 is a big shot so we established this hack is real no doubt.
Know how will it work do we need a flash card or maybe Softmod or Hardmod the 3DS ? Out of all the comments here there is no information about this yet.
When will it be out ? N/A

This is a small summery of all the last 9 pages of this thread.

So you summarized nothing essentially.

Couldn't have said anything better.

After the hack is confirmed, how long do you think it will take for the information to reach public eyes?

 

[deshayzilla]

And I thought the Megaman X Street fighter game was the best birthday gift ever. This easily tops it!

If confirmed, hopefully the game save exploit is from a retail game, as if it is from a downloadable game not many people will be able to get to use it before Nintendo pull's it from the eShop and if that is the case there's less likely hood anything good will come from it.

You are a trendy person; INSTEAD OF USING THE CAPS-LOCK KEY, you decided to make everything bold instead!!!!!

I just went to Gamefaqs:

we may already be at risk.

So basically this will end up being like Vita hacks ... everyone will sit waiting for someone to build up some cool libraries so that everyone else can finally MAKE some homebrew for it that does more than put a single line of text or a rotating 3D cube on the screen. ...

Hmm, I was wondering...
Whenever we play a game, and our wireless is on, if its 3DS software, what would it display on the friendslist?
Would it possibly display the game we are currently playing (depending on if its a soft mod and we just drag drop and play software of the internal SD card almost like its been bought from the E-Shop)
Or would it all have to be played off a home-brew channel? In which case, it may display the "Couldn't acquire software title" thingy, or maybe it will even display "The home-brew channel".
Same goes for hen you street pass someone. What would your recently played title be?

Wouldn't this part kinda scream to Nintendo "I'M HACKING" and get you banned from online or something? I think the safest thing I'd say is to have it report that it's turned off or something ... and as SOON as ANY homebrewish stuff starts running.

And to counter what exactly?

Iwata actually he was confident the 3DS was secure but that they were "prepared" in case did get hacked. I kinda wonder what exactly that means. (Of course it could have just been a bluff to make developers feel their software was safe.)

That was my biggest concern about the whole thing, and to be quite honest, it may be how Nintendo can determine Hackers. If anything, this could be a precautionary measure for if the system ever did get hacked.

 

[Transdude1996]

As a responce to my previous post, I read further and Gamefaqs users just see it is a Photoshop pic or just a DS hack. I believe that we're safe.

Don't listen to the gamefags.

 

[kernelPANIC]

Interesting development indeed.
I guess it's time to start checking GBATemp on a more regular basis...

The secret is on the reflection of the 3D's screens.

 

[gokujr1000]

Back when I didn't have my 3DS updated, it disallowed me to play Mario Kart online as I had to update the system.
(A long while back, may have changed since then)

I think the you need the latest update that the game has on the cartridge.

A quick example:
Game A was released when version 1.00 was the latest firmware
Game B was released when 1.10 was the latest firmware.

You could play Game A on 1.05 because the game was released during 1.00. But you couldn't play Game B online because it was released during 1.10.

Not sure if that's how it works but that's just an idea.
