Has the Nintendo 3DS been hacked?

[Foxi4]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Don't say what game it is until I have enough money to buy said exploitable game

In all likelyhood this exploit:

• Will not be released to the public, at least not anytime soon as there are no means to code for the system in standard coding languages such as C. The registers are not mapped yet, so it makes no sense to release it now. There's too much of a risk that the exploit would be patched with a System Menu update before it becomes useful.
• Will be used by other hackers as means of investigating and analysing the console further in order to facilitate programming in the future.
• Will be used in looking for better exploits within the system, as this one is rather limited.

It's great that it was found, it's going to help many hackers and coders, but as it is now, there's no point in releasing it.

Hardware hack meaning you hav to install the game inside Sd card, not using the flashcart like R4.
And this is will be easily patchable by Nintendo.
What i really hope is a modchip install or a flashcart like Crown3DS

 

[Clydefrosch]

i wonder if it was possible to add a wordfilter for crown3ds.

It's a game on a cart. It doesn't matter when you buy it since I highly doubt Nintendo would recall and update all the said games from around the world just to prevent a hack. Just buy it new and buy a 3DS with the current or previous firmware

well, the second one of those games is released, a few people will start to stockpile them to then try and sell them for unlimited money.

didnt that happen to every exploit game on the wii? (specially when a new exploit came out. it was like, wth why would yugioh 5ds be sold out everywhere?! and wtf why does it cost 80€ used suddenly?!)

 

[ov3rkill]

I just hope that the exploitable game is on a cartridge and not on Nintendo eShop. Being a downloadable game can easily be patch. Hoping to hear more news on this exploit soon. I guess it's safe to say to stay on the current console firmware and not upgrade once an update will be release as usual. lol.

It is already certain that this exploit will NOT lead to piracy.

 

[insidexdeath]

Well if this hack won't lead to piracy then I guess 'we hacked it' isn't the correct way to express it, because no piracy=not fully hacked imo.. I'm not saying without piracy the 3DS is unhackable what I'm saying if it's like the PSP usermode exploits, then it's not fully hacked unless this hack can lead to piracy in one way or another.

 

[Maxternal]

Let's not get into that discussion again.

It always gets things WAY off track.

Maybe try reading the thread. Or even the post directly above yours. It has been stated dozens of times through out the thread that it is a game on a game card.

Nonsense.

How convenient that I visited today just to see this piece of news. Holding off my purchase of a 3DS until I can get its region lock totally removed, as I like to get games from anywhere I'd like and whenever I'd like Looking forward to more info. (didn't read the whole thread though)

I say get a 3ds now with current firmware version. There's no telling if and when this hack is going to produce anything. If it does allow region unlocking in the future, and you get a 3ds at that time, the 3ds will most likely be with latest updates and be incompatible with any homebrew or software hacks.

 

[Chary]

I'd like piracy, just for the ability of having backups, but I really want region lock removed. Seriously, what is the point of a region lock?

 

[Maxternal]

Seriously, what is the point of a region lock?

I don't know any OFFICIAL reason but I've always just guessed that it's to keep Nintendo of America, Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo back in Japan, etc from competing with eachother and makeing eachother loose money. I can see how in one region there might be a lot of red tape as far as getting the title copyrighted and have a rating slapped on it, working out the MSRP in different currencies, etc while others don't and while one region is waiting for it to be translated, they don't want to lose sales for those willing to import it in another language. Things like that.

as an example,
a Korean Wii was dirt cheap compared to other regions. I'm not sure if they sold it at a loss or just didn't have as big a profit margin as the ones they sold in other regions but I'm guessing it was the only way they would sell in that market. Ninty can make more money if retailers have to pay the full price set for their region instead of just mass importing them from Korea.

I bet it is Lego, Lego was exploited before (on wii), and neimod already posted a pic where there was somekind of hacked money (or points I dont remeber).

Thanks for the suggestion, didn't think of that. Selling some things on ebay now, that money could fuel my 3DS purchase. Those firmware updates are a pain, I know that from my PSP.
Btw, I also have a crimson/black DSL with a Cyclo Evo @ 2.3. Hehe.

Lego what? I have Lego Pirates of the Carribean.

He's insidexdeath - I heard he's retarded or something.

 

[lismati]

It was LEGO Star Wars. Neimod can recalculate the signature of LEGO Star Wars savegames, so that would be my bet.

 

[frogboy]

Lego what? I have Lego Pirates of the Carribean.

It looked like Lego Star Wars III.

'd

 

[tysonrss]

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!

You do realize this makes no sense do you?

 

[chavosaur]

Its one thing to even consider the possibility of N64 and PS1 emulation, but your stretching even farther wanting it in 3D…
Im still not sure the 3DS has enough power packed in it to emulate psx/n64. Its about on par, if not a bit stronger then wii, so it may run some games from both genres...

 

[tysonrss]

It is already certain that this exploit will NOT lead to piracy.

Regardless, someone will find a way, whether if its this exploit or not. In addition to that, someone will find a way to downgrade the system and exploit the first few firmwares.

Piracy is inevitable.
