Hacking Ace3DS Team released a hybrid card that comes with a 3DS rom

As some one who has poked around on the 3ds i have to call hoax on this one seeings how a dumped game has a differnt checksum than a dumped cart even if it isnt a hoax it will be blocked in a system update

Part of me says it can, but part of me says it can't. They could just issue checks on the integrity of the card, similar to how 95% of DS-mode flashcards were blocked on 4.5.0-10. But then, they could work differently and may not be blocked easily.

Hi Team Fail, how do you know the process they did on update 4.5.0-10 (I mean, they tried by checking the checksum and comparing with the "original" vs "dumped")
I'm very interested on those subjects, do you have a link for it?

It's all just extrapolations of this basic technique.

As time went on the DSi/3DS started wanting extra data from the game ROMs (not just the headers), so carts that couldn't fit all the data needed stopped being able to update.

Thanks for sharing!

yes in theory you could just extrapolate the same method that the dsi action replay uses but that would only work if you knew exactly what extra data was needed and not to mention the fact that all the would have to do is add a simple (input almost any hash algorithm here)check sum which knowing Nintendo they would do

DS games that came out after the DSi have sigs, but older DS games don't. This is why the AR and flash carts (they use the same technique) are stuck imitating older games.

Reading and hashing the entire ROM (since there's no working sigs for older games) before allowing it to load would likely be way too slow.

The only hard part is carrying around a cartridge 50 times bigger than a normal 3DS cartridge.

They can use a cartridge like this:

 

[metroid maniac]

They can use a cartridge like this:

Not if you want 50 different, independent, authentic save and ROM chips on a single circuit board.
There isnt much wasted room in a normal cart.

 

[Schizoanalysis]

They can use a cartridge like this:

I don't think 50 retail cartridge chips would fit in there.
Perhaps imagine something the size of a brick hanging off the back of your 3DS. Not particularly practical.

I just referred to they need a cartridge more bigger...

Anyway, we need this:

Enjoy your "50 genuine 3DS Games"

Ha!

Now that looks more than a little phallic.
That's be a top seller!

Just to be clear, there is still no confirmation on whether the 3DS-portion of this product will be flashable?

 

[Schizoanalysis]

If it was flashable, they'd be shouting it from the rooftops.

And if the chip comes from a retail game, it won't be.

With that big thing we can't even put the screen all the way down

Bah. Details.

yes, it was obvious, but for people who needed confirmation, Devin asked their team and their team confirmed that it isn't flashable.
just a bit said to see 11 pages of discussion on a thread like this one, but hey... I posted twice

 

[trumpet-205]

So essentially, they are selling pirated 3DS game directly.

Pretty sure even Nintendo will be very aggressive about this.

 

[DroRox]

Just a big elaborate scheme to make some unsuspecting chump think that it is flashable?
OR
Is there actually any use to having the "genuine" game there?

 

[dgwillia]

So basically they are bootleg versions of retail games? I'm not gonna touch these with a 10 foot pole, seems like an easy way to end up on a watchlist or with a bricked console or something.
