11.0 or how the 3ds hacking scene died

[astronautlevel]

Are you serious? Of course, you're only thinking about CFW / Piracy.
You obviously have no idea of how much userland homebrew has been created. And not only emulators or small utilities, but at least two full games have been ported over.

Especially given the (albeit most likely temporary) death of CFWs, userland homebrew is going to become much more relevant and honestly i'm excited.

now you're making up things. I have never said im only interested in piracy. I'm just predicting that Nintendo has finally stopped us and that 10.7 will be remembered as the last down-gradable FW

Will it though?

Also 11.0 still has homebrew, albeit only userland (still a ton of cool stuff though).

well I can get excited about that. let's hope*

And your source is...? Besides, not having a CFW is not the end of the world. Plenty of people have "survived" having only userland access, including me.

IF i end up being wrong i'll eat my own hat :3

But... Thats all we had in the 4.X era for those that updated...
and between 9.(5?) and 10.3...
Even if it's just userland, we can still keep making more stuff

 

[dubbz82]

We have NUMEROUS entry points to 11.x Your belief of the scene being dead is misguided. Downgrading MIGHT be dead (at least for the short term, if someone works out how to break process9 correctly, this will be a non-issue), however the scene itself is FAR from it. The scene has hit numerous brick walls where everyone cried wolf and said the sky was falling. This happens to be simply one more of those times. We now have more of the system's internals documented than we ever had before, so the possibility of someone finding some useful information for cracking 11.x wide open is actually rather good.

 

[OctopusRift]

I think it's safe to say nobody will be able to downgrade from 11.o without a hardmod. We had a good run guys. Peace be with you.

I've been meaning to learn how to do micro-soldering work, but don't have to time to learn this, and the funds to acquire the stuff I need to wire everything up...

Plus, there's always a way to fix the software side to do so? (Maybe faking the hardcoded titles somehow?)

Well. There are a shit ton of undocumented arm11 kern exploits. But. The issue that rests is the downgrade checks. but. They can be bypassed with a bit of thought

 

[Halvorsen]

But... what would be the point of downgrading if arm9+arm11 access basically means CFW on 11.x OFW?

 

[tony_2018]

This stupid....no patience. Yeah its dead alright. Let it die.

 

[hobbledehoy899]

The future is bleak

The 3DS made you realize this???

 

[dark_samus3]

Well, there's already a few private arm11 kernel exploits on 11.0, but they can't be used for downgrading

Or can they (spoiler, they can)

 

[MelonGx]

Shit post and nonsense replies.
11.0 hardmod ONLY FAILS BY USER'S MISTAKE.

 

[Faolan]

I feel the scene is at it's biggest right now. so many new exploits/homebrew/cfw this past year it's hard to say its going to die soon. Look back to 4.x, 9.2,and then 10.6 with downgrading. I doubt it'll die soon.

 

[astronautlevel]

Oh? I was under the impression that even with AMPXI we couldn't downgrade (at least according to recent 3dbrew changes).

Essentially, ninty does a full install of a CIA that's on the list but doesn't "finalize" it, so we install then call the unchecked other function and we're good afaik

I remember discussion about that, but then this happened: https://www.3dbrew.org/w/index.php?title=11.0.0-33&curid=2761&diff=17474&oldid=17420

Huh, I'll have to do some more research then

Hang on ima pop in my chronosphere and check out the state of 3ds in 2020.....
SFX HERE..

OK its still hacked and games are fully playable on your air display devices as the onboard hardware can replicate it (oh um i dont think you will know those yet..)

Point is nintendo cant stop all hacks. there will be hackes will into the future. So either get a flash cart hackable 3ds, or gee i dont know buy the damn game. I bet your cell phone bill can buy 2 new 3ds games/month
