Yes. And it's not good for the Big N.

Assuming they keep it private, or obfuscate any eventual release, there's almost no-one who'll be able to reverse it AND be willing to release it. It took this long for the signature check patches to be made public, even with the 4.x CFW available and unobfuscated. Apart from maybe Gateway, but with a free CFW out now, there's every chance they could go out of business soon. :P

That 'soon' was intentional, admit it. :P

Garyopa said that Gateway team found a hole in 9.7
Is it a deep enough hole? We don't know, but they are not out.

Wait a sec...
Bootrom flaw...

Does that mean what I think it is?
A way to apply patches upon console boot?! o.O
Meaning no more loading up CFW before accessing the custom content?

NO!
It's a bootrom flaw that :
-requires hardware
-is VERY HARD to exploit
-needs prior ARM9 access
-is not exploitable after a cold boot
-etc.

I don't doubt that garyopa would say anything to keep people buying a Gateway lol.

And even if they have found a new ARM9-control exploit, it'd seem a waste to burn it just a few months after releasing the 9.2 one. I guess it would certainly give a lot of people some more immediate faith in them to keep up developments, and if they can get the bootrom hax working as well, it'd finally give them the full N3DS support they've been trying to achieve.

OT: Super cool to see more developments from KARL. :) Seems like things have kind of slowed down lately, but I guess it could just be more time devoted to stuff that'd be less interesting as a public announcement.

Okay, I'm really focusing on this thread now. I went to a Gamestop about 40 minutes away to get their last copy of Cubic Ninja just to find out that the exploit won't work on the latest firmware.

Yet there is hope that could change in the future with the way that the regionFOUR hack now working on 9.7 using CN:

So it's not the "exploit" that's patched, it's the unsigned software, correct?

It's not one exploit, it's multiple in succession. The CN hax are fine and basically can't be patched, but what was used on 9.2 to actually get access to anything cool was.
Hence small, hardcoded homebrews can be done (RegionFOUR) but nothing large (Ninjhax)

Awesome!! I didn't want to believe that I wasted my money, so I'm very glad I picked up my copy of CN! lol Thanks for the info! Can't wait to see what we have in store! I'm glad RegionFOUR is a thing, because I really want to import a regular sized N3DS when I upgrade, so I'm glad I can still buy American games, though I'll probably have to go physical. Which leads to a small question and I hope this isn't too off topic. I know a System Transfer won't be happening, and if I have to buy a physical copy of MH4U if I can't get digital to work, that's fine. Could I transfer my saves?

With the current level of access you have on your system, I doubt it. Although if you plan on getting a N3DS from Europe or Japan you could roll the dice and try to get on that is 9.2 and under

Is that suppose to be emuNAND? Or did you update to that version meaning that 9.7.0-25 is safe to update. My first guess would be emuNAND.

EDIT: NM misread your post after this.
