Hacking 3DS Bricking Rumor

[RodrigoCamilo]

I believe Nintendo won't bother in the next update. In my point of view they will start the fight against piracy when hackers create a 3ds flashcard/softmod.

 

[Deleted member 473940]

When is the next update going to be pushed anyway?
I am still wondering if I should use the supercard ds two on the 3DS....
Not that I am dying to use it lol. Street Fighter IV and Rayman 3 should keep me busy for a while

Yeah, why bother with DS piracy when 3DS piracy is yet to come, and try and prevent that as long as possible?

If they push an update, they are bound to block flashcarts once again. But again, wont take too long for hackers to get around it..

Thus is the circle of technology. Hacked software, updated software with extra protection, revert to stage 1. And as long as there's technology, there will be hackers.

Even if they brick the console, hackers will find a way to reflash it. You're correct the circle of technology, they brick we unbrick.

The update will be pushed on June 7th (June 6th in America, but it's all at the same time).

not realy they can Destroy parts of the hw (like some Virus have done on the pc).

 

[RodrigoCamilo]

If they destroy the HW would be property damage. And nintendo can be sued by this, the only way to nintendo brick your console, is by you bricking the console by yourself, if they brick a console there would be repare option

 

[Rydian]

Yeah, the Wii thing is due to swapping and modifying the firmware, and is not done remotely.

I contacted NOA's legal department about this..

Hello,


Thank you for contacting Nintendo.

Regarding your mention of Akecard cards, we have had numerous actions against game copiers worldwide. They are illegal, as they circumvent Nintendo's security and violate the law. Therefore, I’m unable to answer any questions about it.



Sincerely,


Jennie Chuck
Nintendo of America

Very unhelpful...

They let us on the dark, and then try to scare about bricking rumors, they at least should tell us if it's possible or not the brick

Well this is NoA, they probably really don't know anything about it. Now about NoJ...

 

[RodrigoCamilo]

Any japanese here to contact Nintendo?

We'll use google translate, of course, they won't know the difference /sarcasm

 

[YamiHoshi.nl]

Well, I've been looking at NoA's Press Room (yes, we're a press media), and they only have phone numbers, no email addresses, including the one of Reginald Fils-Aime (better known as Reggie).
There are 2 phone numbers for USA (one for English contact, one for 'Hispanics'), one for Australia, one for Canada, and one for Germany.
I'll not release the numbers, as they're sensitive information, but one person or 2 can have them, through PM.
So just PM me, and I'll share the number you want to dial.

 

[RodrigoCamilo]

I would call reggie but since i'm in brazil and my english is not that perfect

. But if anyone call him, share with us the results.

...If the console bricks it's exactly that...a brick. There isn't anyway to come back from that or else it isn't a brick. If it can be then technically it's a "semi brick". Not being pedantic, they're just 2 different things.

 

[Rydian]

If that's true then nothing actually "bricks" since you can always de-solder the NAND chips and reprogram them.

Of course it's not like the average person even know that it can be done, let alone how to do it, let alone has made a backup of the NAND beforehand, let alone knows how, let alone has the right tools, let alone would even know where to look to get the tools...

Look up the word "feasible".

 

[RodrigoCamilo]

even if you broke/damage the system you can fix by replacing the broken parts, why a brick would cause so many problems, since it isn't breaking the system, they put some data there, you just need to take it out or erase
