Hacking 11.8.0 probably intends to break a certain pirate shop

[Person74]

Except for eshop only games although somebody will probably figure out a workaround in the future if this is the case.

We are probably fine, I’m just worried about my 3ds because it may or may not be 80% pirated games.

It's been a long time since the last free primary exploit

Not really.

Confirmed.

Looks like 11.8.0 backports the Switch's aauth ideas to 3ds -- network comms now send an encrypted(?) copy of app ticket to the server.

They may not act on it immediately, but like on Switch this lets N perfectly detect pirate accesses vs normal ones, and ban however they like.

For now the server is letting people download but soon will require authentication.

Even if you stay on 11.7?

That depends on whether they will block or not (well, rhetorical question; the better one is "when") the old way of access

So what are the options for piracy gonna be going forward?

Buying your games.

(or getting the CIA somewhere else)

so nintendo implemented a "cert" for each console to download games? so now without that "cert" the freeshop won't be able to download anythine? or the freeshop will start taking the cert of the console?

if so, won't be good idea to now update and keep the console on 11.7 and keep using freeshop for ever?

 

[mario-lucis-caelum]

Damn, that sucks. Well at least we know there are more games coming out for this system

 

[godreborn]

it might be best to make a nand backup before updating or even after each game install which is what I do.

 

[Searinox]

Why is this thread still open?
Hold on what... lemme see. I might've been spectacularly wrong with this post.

Maybe you meant: legal private backups?

Well considering I *obtained* most of the library I'll just back up those cia's.

You do that through godmode correct?

Referring to SciresM's tweet, is a ticket sent over network when you open an installed app, or just when you try to download from the server?

Basically, will Nintendo now see homebrew apps and other non-eShop purchases?

For downloading
They already could, when running them; just not positively associate them with your eShop account (and neither will they be able to under the new system, as long as you are not actively downloading them from eShop servers)

 

[Searinox]

I have no homebrew because I run everything through a hijacked system app, but what about installed titles? None are out of region and all can be found as legit game carts. Does the ticket list the apps as INSTALLED or just run?

 

[Ryccardo]

Soon it will be one of the main remaining ways to backup a title to cia; right now (as well as for the past couple of years) there have been many others, sadly people thought they were smart to skip downloading to cia and don't indeed have backups, despite a common euphemism for piracy

I installed CFW Luma3DS + B9S on my Old 3DS like 2 weeks ago, after delaying it. Since i'm pretty much new to all this, should i simply stay on 11.7 and never turn on wi-fi?
Can i still use FS on 11.7 or will Big-N find me and block me? I have some legit games, so can i still play them online?

Tickets are licenses for apps; every installed title (from any source - although then the ticket may be incorrect) has a ticket (as does any installed then removed title, unless the ticket was manually removed)

If you are downloading directly in Freeshop, your system version doesn't matter, as the download logic is built into Freeshop (which will probably be blocked in the future, unless Freeshop is updated, in which case someone will need to supply their own console ID just like they now need to supply their enctitlekeys)

If you use spotpass background downloads, it goes though the OS, so the method used in 11.7 and lower will eventually be blocked (at the same time as above)

I mean as long as you have the title on your system then you can make a backup cia. So as long as you have the titles you want you are fine, and if there a titles you want, you can get them now beforew that chance goes away.
