Hiding an 11.2 arm9 exploit up your sleeve or is there something I don't know?
i'm not... but this is definitely not the only way; if you get rw access to the firm partitions, you can install it pretty much easily. nfirm downgrading doesn't have much to do with that.

otp dumping via 2.1 downgrade, sighax and the usual k9lh setup ain't gonna be fixed unless there's a new hardware revision.

2.1 downgrade isn't possible just by overwriting FIRM AFAIK.

We're talking about the same siuation, right? Taking an unhacked console on a future update that blocks NFIRM downgrades to persistent ARM9 code execution.

nfirm downgrading is already blocked on 11.0+ tho. and anyway you just need an arm9 sploit lol

I'm not talking about downgrading NFIRM in software, I mean DSiWare/NAND mod, from 11.x to 10.4.
That can be blocked by fixing the version check. And after that I don't see a route to obtaining arm9 exec.

If that had been done after 9.3 downgrading would mercifully have never become a thing :P

I think we're approaching this from different angles. It seems like you're looking at what the technically interesting exploits are but right now I'm just trying to determine what the opportunities for newcomers who want to hack their consoles in the future will be.

Not that I'm a latefag, or that I want more of them to show up. Just curious.

no learning from this + mostly only for piracy actually... (and i'm not saying that people aren't using arm9 exploits and k11 downgrading for piracy, do not misunderstand me)
hacking the 3ds hw side is kind of easy and not very fun at all...

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
