Tried on b2, trimmed and not trimmed - nothing. 3DS doesn't recognise the game. Can't even find any info about, how to patch these "Sig Checks".

i presume its in the FW, i.e the check that authenticates the game
pretty much what smealum has done to enable his unsigned hombrew in the system menu.
 
Yes, latest FW.



So, patching tool actually exists somewhere)

Well. Think of it this way. The sum of $10 billion dollars exist somewhere but most of us will never see daylight of it.

But since bigbluebox are saying patch the sig check and it would work, it MIGHT possible be hinting something imminent.


[conspiracy+crap]
Also, the 3DS community is rife with conspiracies and theories. So, I'll just throw in another conspiracy in here albeit full of exaggeration and linking things that might not be there.

Look at the proof. Smealum has ways to disable sig checks. BBB released an eshop dump saying to disable sig checks and the words enjoy are extremely suspicious. How can we enjoy it if there aren't tools to do so. This can only mean smealum is taunting us with a sarcastic NFO infomation and the bit about us enjoy. We all know smealum love teasing stuff.


Now, in the spirit of american news media. I'm not saying the Smealum is GW and BBB (the rom dump group), that is up for you, the reader to decide.

Reading deeper in the thread it seems we are on deep shet

Basically , signature checks means the 3ds checking if the code is signed or unsigned. Seems the dumps were done in a way they are not signed so we would need a way for the 3ds to see them as signed. The main problem I read is that gateway COULD easily put a patch to the sig checks to make them always see signed code , but that could mean someone could easily make a homebrew loader and then their card would be useless... But then I still don't know why on the nfo seems they see playing the dumps as easy..
 
The info in the nfo is there to let people know what needs doing to play them. That is all. We may get some type of patches etc to allow playback. The method doesnt magically sign unsigned stuff. It bypasses checks altogether. And yes the method and tools exist to allow it. Hence why playing has been confirmed. But dont expect to see tools publicly available for it as a shitstorm will follow..... As this will open the door to alot more than playing of eshop dumps. And no Smealum isnt playing both sides.. to the theorists that think he is. Logically thinking it has to be his Mum...

iirc, eshop games are encrypted for the specific console they are downloaded to, this release however should be the decrypted format.(sorry if this is incorrect im not 100% on the facts)
i presume how/where the game is to be loaded from would simply be a flag set in the header of the game.

so if signature checking in the firmware was disabled you could simply change "is eshop game" to "is on a cartridge", editing it without disabling signature checks means that the signature of the file is broken and the console knows it has been tampered with and doesn't even try to load it, im pretty sure gateway could easily disable signature checks, but then it could probably be done the other way around, so a cart based game could be made to appear as a eshop title and load from the SD card (assuming the console will either load decrypted content or whatever additional checks are run on eshop games is also disabled i.e license checks)....at which point the gateway card would be somewhat redundant.

question is, will anyone be able to disable the signature checks who isn't so anti-piracy or doesn't have close "links" with the flash card makers
 
When Gateway came out they just opened the gate a little to allow this stuff. When the new Doorway cart comes out the door will be wide open..... :)

No because even the 3DS scene groups are playing this game of being holier than thou
 
better wait for someone to post a way to patch the sig checks , since it doesn't seem gateway/clones will do it
 
Wtf.

At this point it's only a question of time, before a idiot releases a free solution.

The signature checks can't be patched in a file or something. Some users seem to think it's a "one click patch". It's not and can't be done without a CFW. Good luck modifying Brickways Launcher for that.

IIRC SD contents are double encrypted. They are downloaded encrypted like normal card games and encrypted with the console's key as they're written to the SD.
This dump is probably half-decrypted (with their console's key). Tried viewing the first (.r00) file and no plaintext (possibly caused by compression though).
 
The latest is the E-Shop games need Signature Checks to be passed "No Flashcards at this moment will work, further updates will follow" that was took straight from a site of mine and as I said before GW will come through with this way of using them in there next update, looking good GW users! I think we all will be hearing real soon on the next update and I predict in the next few weeks at least!
