Hacking Which would be easier for big N to patch out?

[proflayton123]

But that sounds like in an update they can touch arm9 processors, so wouldn't that screw over both anyway?

Maybe menuhax + emuNAND, A9LH not really no because of FIRM0/FIRM1 (i think its only one) are corrupt and there is no way of updating

Lml, but didn't we just go over how a hardware revision can break it
And I think it was firm0

Hardware revision, have a think

 

[Sketchy1]

Hardware revision, have a think

So therefore they can't break either, without adding some extra shit then

It's not possible to overwrite A9LH ever, even if you want to?

I mean, like above users said, including myself manually hardcoding the system its self in their own hands? I doubt so.

 

[Sketchy1]

So yeah then, without a hardware revision, they can't really break either then?

Well OK, that partition table check. That could potentially fk over menuhax->cfw

I doubt they can patch menuhax if your on 9.2 with an emunand set up Maybe they can break your emunand with a sw update but you could just set it up again... maybe a9lh can be broken with an update and brick your device since my understanding of it is your updating your sysnand not emunand but once again you could also restore a backup I don't think it's possible for Nintendo to kill either one of them the worst they can do is try to ruin our day but that's about it

If they did that, somehow which I highly doubt without physically hardcoding firm0/firm1 then, they'd have many bricks and wouldn't legally be held against it :v

 

[DrkBeam]

A9lh or menuhax->cfw?
Cause I was thinking about this and read how they needed a hardware revision to block a9lh, but no mention of how they could block menuhax->cfw. But then I thought, can they even do that for someone using menuhax?
I mean, I feel like a9lh is pretty safe cause o dat brick protection it has when I'm using it, and that ninty wouldn't actually do the damn revision XD

Is that you Nintendo?

 

[chocoboss]

Everything can be patched it just a question of time ... I forgot they also need new dev'

They can prevent you boot emunand by checking partition on SD card but they can also prevent the system from booting if A9hl is present lol

well actually, a partition table check could ruin someones day.

I'd like to see that first

or they can simply try and load firm0 and firm1 and if detects that neither is bootable/changed in some way then it could simply abort the startup

 

[proflayton123]

When the firm01/firm1 is corrupt due to how A9LH works, plus firm protection because of that, goodluck

Much like how Google did with Android 7.0 (g.co/ABH), and that was done through software.

 

[Sketchy1]

well actually (correct me if im wrong) a9lh only has firm WRITE protection. just reading firm0 / firm1 i belive is still possible (otherwise the system wouldnt boot). therefore, it can still be possible to detect some change, and abort the startup

When the firm01/firm1 is corrupt due to how A9LH works, plus firm protection because of that, goodluck

But if it's something as obvious as partition table check, why haven't they patched it already?

 

[proflayton123]

Well I mean, they're so poor with devs finding sploits in their own department they require help from major hackers lmao

 

[Sketchy1]

for the same reasons pokemon go still crashes so much and are now forced to open a bug bounty page for their dying console:

shitty devs
