Homebrew Smealum, Creator of Portal DS/Aperture Science, has hacked the 3DS

Fingers crossed

I hope that there will be chance to have some homebrews on ARM11

But I am very confused about "hacks" on DS/3DS. Work with Gateway? On my opinion this is waste of time. I vote for CFW and use SD card. CFW and better knowing of OS is way better than FlashCard loaders like Gateway. CFW way is thing that we've need.

You can vote all you want but the fact remains it could be a technical nightmare to do it that way.

I read somewhere that FW 5.0 patched the ability to run executable code via the DS Profile stack crash exploit, could be completely wrong about that, but it would limit what he's doing to FW 4.5

Keep up the good work smea!

Gateway team is working on having the "Gateway entry point" working with 6.2.0 (and below).

If you talk to him in Portuguese, he won't understand you...

DAMN YOU GOOGLE TRANSLATE!

here u go

powiedz mu, w języku polskim, które po prostu nie mogą głosować na CFW. głosowanie tylko chce, w jego przypadku.

setsuya · Sep 16, 2013

As a Brazilian myself, I laughed WAY too hard at the translation, dude!

mr. fancypants · Sep 16, 2013

what did id say?

setsuya · Sep 16, 2013

His translation said "CFW no good. Thank you thank you thank you."

But as a native speaker it sounds way funnier... xD

I just want to say that i admire you, i never knew what drive hackers to hack a system. It's a hell of a work without any pay, and still people came to complain about it...
it's because of guys like you that guys like me can enjoy our consoles to the max.

(seriously, discuss the topic at hand, whine about it even but why post unrelated images?)

Where did they say that? I'm not upgrading my 3DS anyways, but it would be nice to have some real hope for homebrew.

In Gateway's website. Take a look at the FAQ.

Smealum, first off I really appreciate your work. Second, are we talking about Bangi-o for the regular DS, and is there a chance we will need that game for an exploit? I found it at Gamestop for $5. Wondering if I should pick it up, only got that reason.

Yes, it is the Bangai-O for the regular DS. If you have a DS mode flashcard that is compatible with the 3DS, you wouldn't need Bangai-O for this exploit. Smealum uses Bangai-O as it is his only way to run DS-mode code on his 3DS. This exploit involves running some DS-mode code to modify the DS-mode profile of the 3DS in some way, and then you load up the DS-mode profile settings on the 3DS and the exploit happens.

But as has already been said, this exploit is not being released right now, and may not be released at all. There is no point in releasing it at the moment. So don't worry about buying things in preparation for it. Besides, you should be able to find a DS-mode, 3DS compatible flashcard for about $5.

On the other hand, Bangai-O is a nice little game, and IMO well worth $5.

According to Smealum's Twitter, he said "@Un1v3rs4L this should in time give us pretty much full control over the console, more or less."

Ok, thanks for the reply. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a situation like the psp. When GTA was used as an exploit, it became hard to find, and was subject to price gauging on Ebay.

I wonder if that Power Rangers DS game has anything to do with that hack. I don't physically own that game and I bet it would be a pain to hunt down.

I think that it also work's with a R4 card, he only used bangai-o, because that game apparantly also can pull of the Character Limit Eploit.

Then format and stop going online.

All of my games are digital, though. Anyways, are you sure formatting brings the firmware back to the first version? I'm fairly sure it doesn't.
