Nintendo can't block Gateway's 9.0 to 9.2 exploit until they've actually released the exploit. Unless of course Nintendo has someone working for them inside of Gateway. Which I highly doubt.


This is my big hope. It's unlikely Nintendo took a stab in the dark and got it righ,t unless a NinjaHax operation was used, but it sure is possible. Makes me nervous, I'll be much happier when Gateway makes a post confirming one way or the other.
 
I mean, they 'can', by figuring it out. After all, they made the system.
They made the firmware, yes, but unless they know specifically which hole(s) Gateway is using to execute the exploit, they would have to review every single line of code in order to close up any possible entry point. Time is money, and that would be a waste of both time and money.

I'm sure it's not so much of a "Shot in the dark" as you think. They're very smart.

okay basically what .cia are is like cracked updates for roms and also eshop titles.

you know how say for example pokemon x/y sometimes has updates to patch certain glitches/issues that weren't addressed before launch?

.cia is the filetype for these updates that are usually issued via the eshop or by QR codes.

normally you don't have to worry about .cia files for retail physical cartridge games and if you don't use gateway/flashcarts because all you need to do then is open the eshop and download the update but when you're using roms, you can't exactly do that because there's like a key that the eshop has to read to ensure that you're playing a retail cart that matches your 3ds' region.

tl;dr
say you have an american 3ds, playing a japanese title with gateway.
.CIA enables you to download the japanese game's update even though under normal circumstances you can't even play a japanese title on your american 3ds.

IF i'm not mistaken. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me , you're the best <3 <3 <3
 
Question, I saw the update prompt first, but I had SpotPass disabled. Does the 3DS download system updates, even if SpotPass is/was disabled? Haven't seen any notices since since Wi-Fi is off now. Double-checked the SD card for new files, but nope.

if you're worried then just factory reset the console & it will delete any downloaded update.

would also like to know this. I've got spotpass and wifi off for now.
 
I don't think you're understanding. Sony does this all the time.
Does what? Sony fixes things AFTER people discover holes/exploits in them. Same as everybody else. Sony Studios just got hacked big time, so clearly they didn't manage to fix all entry points before something bad happened, as you are suggesting.

Before that, PSN got hacked. Before that, the PS3 got hacked. Again, things that were not fixed until somebody exploited them.
