    Hacking Gateway 3DS Firmware v2.0 - New UI and More!

    Regarding working on 3ds v5.1 and later - if I recall correctly, the vulnerability is still there, but the exploit payload doesn't work on later versions. This means that they need a new ROP chain to exploit the vulnerability but it is still possible. There are a few possible announcement...

    GTA V Release?

    I've been playing GTA V for the past couple of days on my PS3. So far the characters are more fun than those in GTA IV. In general, there are a few things that I find really good compared to past games: 1. Switching characters - I was very pessimistic about this, but so far it's been pretty cool...

    Hacking Gateway Firmware spoof release to testers

    this! I really want there to be some news about this- I think this should take priority over homebrew - that way there's a bigger customer base -> more revenue -> more dev resources. If I were in they're shoes I'd work on compatibility 1st, then the NAND issue followed by multi-rom/homebrew...

    Hacking Gateway 3DS "Firmware spoofing" and "multi-region"

    I couldn't agree with you more. There's another group which unfortunately I'm a member of - I live in a country that Nintendo simply don't support, don't have a distributor in and isn't even listed when selecting your country in the 3ds setup. when I was younger I'd pirate a lot. But honestly...

    Hacking Gateway 3DS "Firmware spoofing" and "multi-region"

    Technically speaking this isn't true - the original ds had no sd card slot - only ds and gba slots. Therefore you couldn't modify it to load from and SD card simply because there was no slot. If there's no slot, you need to create some sort of adapter - which is basically what flash cards are...

    Hacking Gateway 3DS "Firmware spoofing" and "multi-region"

    Theoretically speaking, if the entry point is still there then it is still exploitable, then what is left is to develop an ROP exploit which will work with later builds. This isn't exactly a 5 minute task but it is quite doable. Add to this the fact that a whole lot of people updated their 3DS...

    Hacking Gateway 3DS "Firmware spoofing" and "multi-region"

    I think that the gateway team should come out and say if it's possible to support 5.1. I've actually updated to it only because they initially said that it'll be supported. I wouldn't blame them if it can't be supported, but if that's the case, I want to know as soon as possible so that I can...

    Hacking Gateway 3DS - First 3DS Flashcart

    Actually there are quite a few ways to do something like this. They could have a DS mode updater like many current cards, maybe do it using a JTAG programmer or something similar and maybe even simply have a simply USB adapter which allows flashing from the PC. Fact of the matter is, there are...

    Hacking Gateway 3DS - First 3DS flash card?!

    Really? Revenge? Dude, you're making it a bit too personal for no reason... If you would've said this about a Sony console - I might agree, since they actually attacked us as consumers, both literally (planting rootkits on PCs and compromising your security without letting you know, for...

    Hacking Will 3DS roms be widespread available in the near future?

    Although certain people in the industry like to blame piracy as the ultimate evil, that is not exactly true. Piracy might harm game sales, though much less than publishers like to think, as most pirates wouldn't have bought most games to begin with. On PC I almost exclusively play games I've...

    Hacking My thoughts about USB Loader(s)

    patts, I have a quick question: How could you be part of the demo scene with 0 coding skills? That's what most of it was often about. Regarding the great coders that are working on Wii projects - People that had little documentation (much less than you have for the PC and used to have for the...

    Hacking USB Loader... my turn ;)

    Actually, AFAIK, GPL'd code can be freely changed, and a copy of the source must be distributed along with the binary. If someone gets some GPL'd code and modifies it for personal use, they are not required to distribute the code.

    Hacking Running channels off of an SD Card

    Does anyone know if there's a way to run channels off an SD card (in v4.0) ? This could come in very useful, especially with the USB loader - imagine having USB loader wads for all your games on an SD card (which are dirt cheap nowadays), and once selected from the SD, they'd activate the disc...

    Hacking Loading homebrew from the USB Launcher

    This is possible (although not convenient). You can replace the executable within an existing Wii image file, and then trucha signing it - effectively creating a disc image that contains the desired code (I'm guessing that this is the way that the HBC iso file was created). This method isn't...

    Hacking Remember when people cared about Marcan was a somebody? I don't

    Credit is given where credit is due. Marcan did quite a bit for the scene, and could probably do a lot more. The way to do so, however, is to strut your stuff. You think someone did a crappy job? don't diss him - one up him by making something better, or take his code and improve it. Just...
