Hacking Sky3ds is out, people

[chrisrlink]

if only sky 3ds was more useful like gateway is right now it can only pirate games no brew

Still think it's a handshake with the nand...change the contents of the cart and will be rejected.
Reprogram the nand, new handshake with the cart with new contents, should be golden.
That's why you only have one shot, 5 games on sd or 10...once you run it thats it for the cart until you reprogram the nand.
Since they are trying to sell a plug and play device, it's much easier for them to say just buy another cart for every 10 games...as apposed to trying to explain how to solder wires to the 3ds mobo to reprogram the nand.
I can understand their point.

I still think you dont know what you are talking about.

Heres the simple reason why.

Gateways blue cart is a copy of an r4. Its recognized as a ds mode cart in your 3ds. So you change the coding of the gateway to something similiar to this and its recognized. You saying it different hardware is also ridiculous. It probably almost exactly the same. Its a chip. A memory chip. And maybe an fpga. All which gateway have.

So it seems to me its a simple matter of coding and you have no clue what you are talking about. It doesnt need a hardware button its coded to use select.

The sky3ds's hardware has already been thoroughly examined. Yes there are "chips" inside of it. But not the same ones as Gateway. Not everything can be changed through software updating, buddy. That's like asking if the DS can be "updated" to a 3DS by a software update. Totally different hardware.

Yea bro im sure that the chinese mafia is really going to let you know its pretty much the same thing. Until i get someone who i trust to say its completely different your wrong and thats all there is to it.

So. Gateway is obviously more sufficient then Sky is. Technically

 

[FearItSelf23]

What you said doesn't make any since either. ROM "burning" as you call it requires specialized equipment that include stuff like high voltages or UV light to literally burn the data onto the chip. That equipment is usually only available at the manufacturer's factory. Unless they managed to pack that ability onto this cart or theres some new technology Im not aware of, I would be interested to hear more about it.

Eh, writing to the rom isn't really the hard part at all. It's the cheap chips used that have limited writes and will easily damage if rewritten a relatively low number of times.

sorry i have no other way of saying that theory is stupid, if thats what was happening you would only ever be able to use the 1 sky3ds card.......your over thinking it, basically it loads the game and takes a note on the card....there is no writing to the 3ds's nand or anything like that

 

[DJPlace]

this is going flop with the 10 game per card rule or some bullshit.

Oh, pardon me. I'm wrong and that's all there is to it. Gotcha. You know better than me. Chinese mafia have a lot to do with what we were talking about.

If they used ROM chips that were that flimsy, Id be surprised that many wouldn't just be DOA. Or be bricked simply by the first write. At $120(?) a pop, things are just not adding up.

Bro relax. I never said I know more than you. I've been following the scene since gba days and have seen people claim shit without knowing what they are talking about. You could be right man but until proven by someone in the scene i trust.... well your just gonna be wrong. So am I. Know why? Cause its truly unknown. If you want to be sarcastic or a dick because of that well thats your choice my man. Peace!

Actually, it could probably be done (once 3DS emulators are able to run retail games) but it would be slow as hell as not only is the CPU much slower but it would have to use the flash cart's SD card for most of the emulated 3DS's RAM. It would be like trying to make a Pentium emulator for a TRS-80.

Its triads......not mafia.

Either way if it was as easy as he said than why hasn't it been done, or proven thats how the sky3ds card works? I'm beginning to believe that they put that limitation there to make sales, xmas is around the corner, 10 popular games plus a 3ds make a nice gift. Unforunately like I said in my other post, how are firmware updates going to roll out? For us to see how they will handle that we'll just have to wait for Nintendo to rollout another firmware update to block it and then see what sky3ds will do for there customer base.

If it's 10 limit for 30 bucks, then I'm insta-sold. haha. Then again, it's just a dream. hahahahahaha.

For the current price of sky3DS, you're better off buying a legit card. Used carts are cheaper, plus you can just resell them. You can have the best of both worlds - updated and having fun.

Assuming an unlock hack does not get made (and with what I have seen of the hardware such a hack is a distinct possibility) and it not being troubled by later updates, though even then it does not preclude it, then you can still resell this; you just have to state what games it was set up to use (possibly also an order though that remains to be seen). Mind you [insert 3ds has no games statement of fact joke].
