I really suggest that you don't do things like this. please, don't bug Steveice10 or anyone else working on the exploit. it's done when it's done.

If it's not "when will the be done?" then it's fine.

What's wrong with legit cias?

I mean someone is going to try to use memchunkhax2 with FBI and install something wacky on mistake.

 

[Perseu5]

They're getting pretty close. Looks like two new files have been added to the source today alone.

No, it's just the same file split in three.

Seriously, why do people keep spamming refresh and commenting every time a commit is done in the github?

If/When it's done, the team behind it will make an announcement in it's own thread for everyone to see, there's no need to stalk the repo and constantly annoy whoever is working on it.

As someone who's done stuff before, nothing is more annoying than having people (figuratively) breathing down your neck asking when things will be ready.

But to stay on topic, it was mentioned that SNShax (which is no longer being worked on) would in theory have a workaround for O3DS, does anyone have any rough ideas of what this could have been?

SNSHax is KernelTimeMachine its just a different name

Nothing, until it's installed in the wrong way and the person blames it on everyone else for their mistake.

I mean it's annoying when a commit only includes cleanup or debug stuff, but it makes sense to post it here when a commit includes actual code additions.

And no, nobody knows about the workaround.

What are you guys struggling with atm?

(Just curious)

No, stop spreading false info. KernelTimeMachine is an app that will use memchunkhax2 to downgrade your system.

 

[Greywolf928]

That's incorrect. KernelTimeMachine is the downgrade app for MemChunkHax2, and is completely different from SNSHax.

KernelTimeMachine is the name of the new program that they are using to downgrade via memchunkhax2. They ditched snshax and moved KTM to memchunkhax2

Edit: Damn so many ninjas!

 

[Shubshub]

Okay thanks for clarifying and not being a jerk about it =P

 

[JustPingo]

About the workaround, my first bet would be to abuse the fact that there is a service I can't recall the name that reboots NS when it is spawned. But don't call me on that as it's just a guess, I don't see how one could exploit that.

KTM isn't snshax, it's the app that would have used it.

Edit : omg that ninja

Really? So no more SNSHax??
And i thought i was lucky because i had my N3DS on 9.8 and was going to get the downgrade sooner than others...

I guess it won't hurt to update to 10.3 and get ironhax then.

SNShax wasn't even kernel access.

somehow marking the area of memory as "used" or making sure the area isn't cleared out could work... It'd just be super hard to exploit if NS cleans up after itself (which it probably does...) unless you could mark the RAM page read only

gimmie Digital Audio Tape booty

But why?
