Hacking New 3DS FlashCart - Sky3DS firmware 9.0

[Vappy]

We'll know for sure either way soon enough, hopefully someone reputable will get a review sample and be able to dispel any rumors or misinformation.

In theory then corrupting a save in the card itself would then allow you to replace it? I've corrupted so many of my games with my R4i Save Dongle.... I don't see it taking long before someone figures out how to make the card "forget" the saves to add new ones in.

Don't give them ideas lol it's hasn't been released yet!

they would have to be stupid to do that if they want it to lock at 10 im sure they wouldn't leave a big hole in their plan by letting people just keep switching 9

If you place 9 games and drop them to put 9 another games, the first 9 games ID are stocked in the card and there is only one game of the 9 new that use to complete the 10 games list.

Drag and drop solution is impossible in that case, game ID is stocked and can't be switched or erased.

This product could be good but because of this limitation it sounds like a catch-jerk.

This thing's goin' down the shitter when it comes out.

with the 10 game limit, if the price is right, i can live with that. Even with games that cost $30 new, that would cost you $300!!! so even at $120 your still getting a deal. I'd prefer it to be closer to $30 to $40 but what ever. The NDS era really spoiled you kids.

But this is far beyond illogical. Like, the circumvention of their seemingly DRM-ish limitation is so blatantly obvious, what would be the point of even implementing in the first place?

I'm standing by the 'misunderstanding in the pipeline somewhere' theory until further notice. Sorry.

Its not illogical at all. Their way of thinking is "we made it, its gonna cost you, and we gonna make you slaves asking for more".

Obviously, not gonna work that way!

Even as far back as SNES era copiers didn't have any kind of limit like that, you were limited just by how much external storage you could throw at it. And with the 3DS, with other carts already existing and far outclassing this cart in all areas except compatibility with higher firmwares/newer models, I don't think you can boil down any criticisms to just being "spoiled.

i have heard the price is actually going to be between $50-60....so not exactly the worst deal.....we just need to wait for everything to be confirmed, price,limits etc before we can truly say if its worth it or not

I can understand previous generations being limited to a certain amount of games, ya know, back when there weren't SD cards. 10-in-1 carts are "10-in-1" and not "Flashcards" because there was no simple way of swapping roms off a memory card back then. You'd have to somehow link a Hard drive to a system or some shit.

That's why this "flashcard" being linked to only 10 games is ridiculous. Plus, it's gonna get patched in a heartbeat!

and everyone is still waiting for the free rom loader for the 4.x 3DS consoles, the industry is changing its all about maximizing profits.....clones yeah most probably, but then the clones would also think.....well we might as well limit it too so we can sell a bunch of card, we might see some try up the cap to like 15/20, but if they genuinely do lock it down i imagine any clones would follow suit

I am just saying, this with the Smea exploit will be the preferred method for those that was not told about the gateway's 4.5 exploit til like 2 months after 5.0 was out. In order for me to get to that level, i would have to buy another 3DS ($100~$150) and the Gateway ($60~$80). For me this will be the best route.

If it's done within the FPGA then it might not be so easy. FPGA designs are well-protected.

assuming smea gets region free sorted to, that would be a fair compromise....but if you do the maths sell your old 3DS, but a 4.x console and a gateway it would still work out cheaper than buying 2 of these cards and you get the added bonus of modded games, eshop games save sharing(and probably modding soon) emunand stuff cart dumping, if you shop around you could probably get a 4.x console for the same price you sell your own console for and be no worse off for the better features

not to mention if these card do get blocked i wouldn't hold much hope in them being fixed to work on higher firmwares....effectively meaning you either update and throw them in a draw or forfeit the ability to play any newer games released

I'd say the same, that Gateway offers the better deal at this time, but continued support for emuNAND updates relies on Gateway to continue producing those updates, which there's never any guarantee they will continue to do so, especially as the market of <=4.x consoles becomes saturated and they begin to sell less.
And I doubt that Gateway/MT/clones will be able to steal whatever method sky3DS are doing, unless they make new hardware to match. If it were possible to use this new method with already produced carts, then why wouldn't sky3DS just copy that design instead of making a whole new one with all these limitations?

yeah but going on past developments, gateway have always come through on their end of the deal.....personally i think the rarity of 4.x consoles is over exaggerated, the "how to find a 4.x 3ds" thread is as popular as ever with people still getting 4.x consoles pretty much every day, i think gateway has plenty of time before usable consoles dries up and even when it does and if they do just quit and leave, enough people know how it all work, im sure someone would step up and continue adding support for 4.x consoles even if the gateway card was left in the dust,

i think 4.x consoles offer a lot more in terms of future guarantees, and personally i wouldn't be one of the first rushing to buy a 9.x solution until we see if nintendo will block it within a couple of updates anyway, no exploit = no leeway , if it gets blocked it will almost certainly stay that way

Not much information there, same thing, just with the New 3DS LL. Meh.

 

[Keylogger]

Sky3DS card can play 3DS game online as a genuine gamepad did

Like a Wii U gamepad ? xD

ok!
What if you ask your inside information to double-triple check (again and one more time) about the so called 10 ROMs limitation, please?
