I found this on plailects guide and I'm wondering how this is even possible, and does anybody have any information on how soon "soon" is?

https://plailect.github.io/Guide/nfirm-downgrade

"If you are on 11.0.0 or 11.1.0, do NOT update to 11.2.0. A new update will be coming soon that allows for DSiWare NFIRM Downgrading without a second 3DS or hardmod for versions under 11.2.0."

This would/will be legendary

A new exploit is coming that will allow 11.0 and 11.1 (but NOT 11.2) users to downgrade (and thus get CFW) via DSi downgrade. This will require a legit copy of a compatible game, the best option being Fieldrunners - available via eShop, but might be taken down in time due to, well, this.

As to when exactly this happens, we don't know. The most common prediction is December, I believe.

how would we be able to inject the dsiware hack into the game without a second homebrewed 3ds though?

That's amazing, since yellow8 released that dsiwarehax installer isn't a 11.1 downgrade possible right now? Or is it still in the alpha stage and iffy?

It still needs an actual kernel exploit, that's what we're waiting for. Yellows8's installer just injects the hacked save into the game (if I understand correctly), but for now we can't do anything with it.
Patience. I have a 11.0 2DS, also waiting with baited breath, but it's gonna happen sooner or later.

Ah makes sense, but if there's kernel exploit discovered on 11.1 what would be the point of downgrading?

We're waiting for Arm11 exploit, which will allow to downgrade and "unlock" Arm9 exploits used for A9LH and more.

Ah ok, That's what I was thinking, so basically we're waiting for a possible arm11kexploit from plailect, that will be awesome!

The arm11 Kernel exploit PAIRED with yellows's8 dsiware save installer will allow you to downgrade NATIVE_FIRM down to 10.4 and proceed with the normal dsiware downgrade via the plaintext attack. other than that, not much else.

That still doesn't give you a new arm9 kernel exploit (and this guy would be the one to render downgrades unnecessary)

The installer, right now, won't do anything on non-hacked/arm11userland only consoles.

The only need for a 2nd already hacked console on 11.0 and beyond is because you can't install the save on your own after 11.0. and the saves transfer between system transfers.

This would be dangerous to even try on a9lh consoles (what for, anyway?) as that will overwrite firm0/1 writing garbage to it and not only eliminating a9lh but bricking as well. only recoverable with hardmod. CFW+a9lh protects you from arm11 bricks, but not arm9 ones. (since this is where a9lh even runs from)

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
