Homebrew Is Nintendo going to take action against NINJHAX 2.0 soon..?

[Deleted User]

They KNOW it can't pirate as of now... Are they waiting for a CFW to be confirmed working, then patch it?
It's been out for a while and I would think that it would have been patched completely by now.

Prob not, since 2.0 isn't breaking any copyright laws.

They did last time, so probably.

We don't know. It's only been about two weeks and it can't take since time to patch these things out. Also last time they only partially patched the vulns. It honestly feels like Nintendo is keeping it's priorities pretty low with Ninjhax!

I mean, it doesn't play roms as of now, but you would think they would have patched it by now.

It allows emulators of games they sell on the virtual console. It hurts sales so they will patch it.

Well, they should sorta be happy, hacker DO play and use their systems!

Ninjhax 2.0 can't be used for piracy, so it shouldn't be much of a priority to them. If they're like Sony, it would take Nintendo about 48h. I saw that on Twitter somewhere, not sure though.

This makes my head hurt.

Specious reasoning at its finest.

I heard that Ninjhax uses an exploit that is very hard and annoying to patch out and would screw up a lot of things if they didn't rework the rest of the system to accommodate the patch.

By take action, Fanboy actually means patch, not legal action. You're welcome for the translation.

And yes, they will probably try to patch nh 2.0 asap, and it doesn't mean they have to patch gsPwn. Ninjhax 2.0 uses other exploits that can be fixed easier.

No, they won't wait for cfw to patch it -- much the same way a homeowner doesn't wait for their house to burn down before calling the fire department.

 

[VinsCool]

of course nintendo is going patch the flaw, it allows unsigned code on their console, and we all know nintendo considers this as piracy

 

[sweis12]

I don't know if they can fix it...... I don't think 2.0 version is using any exploits in the system. I believe the exploit is 100% game based. Ninjhax 1 was using a 3ds kernel exploit to run homebrew. This one dosn't.

Wrong. It uses a userland home menu exploit too.
Ninjhax 1 didn't have any kernel exploits either.

 

[endoverend]

Yes it will, eventually, but frankly it's not a huge priority considering it requires an expensive, out of print game to even use.

Back on the wii days, it took nintendo near 3 months for patching vulns that were playing backups. It seems they have speed up the process on the 3ds despite this it's not that easy to RE ninjhax, find the vulnerability and patch it without messing too much. As for the question, it's not if they're going to patch it, but when. (probably in less than a pair of weeks)
Btw nintendo doesn't want absolutely anything to run but their code, they know perfectly that homebrew is the step before piracy (sadly).

I'm very surprised nintendo haven't patched it already.

My legit console is almost done downloading it so they better not pull it until my download is done
