Hacking 3DS Bricking Rumor

[Etkar.H]

It will work after you update your Acekard too: http://www.acekard.com/news.php#128

Wow, that was fast. O.o

Like seriously? I dont want to sound rude, but who the heck believed that rumour and was it really worth turning this into 30 page discussion?

The fact that this had to be turned into a sticky here after the initial discussion shows that enough people believed it.

I really don't understand why people call this a scare tactic by nintendo, it was their own paranoia that lead them to think nintendo was gonna brick their 3DS.

I'm glad that people are realizing that it was just a stupid rumor.

Besides, automatic updates are done after the user agrees to them.

Nintendo did increase the severity of the warnings, but people love fear.

It was the change from "may break" to "will break," plus "technical protection measures," on the back of 3DS-related paraphernalia.

What i dont get is why everyone thinks piracy theft and everyone who commits piracy is just cheap. I bet the pirates have probably spent more on games then the legit user. the difference being the pirates have games they enjoy playing over and over again and the legit users have lots of games collecting dust that "looked cool" but had no structure and no way to play it before shelling out $50+

So is it 100% safe to use flashcarts on a 3DS right now?

 

[molh394]

It is safe.

 

[Faize00]

It is safe.

Ok. Thanks! been itching to play DS games but DS lite sound is busted. so i guess its only good for updating flashcarts.

Do you mean "agree once" and then they will forever be automatic or you have to agree each time?

 

[THEBIGBOSSMAN]

The automatic updates can be turned off anyway

 

[siryu]

You should be worried. You might stop breathing any moment now (judging from your post, I'm surprised you remember how).

Your sig doesn't protect you from grammar Nazis, it only makes you more of a target.

BTW,

you are now manually breathing and blinking.

Actually, correcting someone's grammar mistakes is conscidered rude in 95% of the civilized world - a polite person ignores any errors or only "hints" at the correct spelling by replying using the words which the OP spelled wrong in their sentence.

That said, grammar is an important thing, and not knowing how to build a sentence properly without a good reason, like lack of language knowledge or a derrivative of dislexia is just being a lazy newb.

Believe me, you weren't the first to realize this.

On topic: yeah I haven't heard of anyone's 3DS bein' bricked from an update as a result of flashcards, and I don't see it ever happening.

Why are you yelling? Calm down.

Okay, I read a lot of pages in this topic, and I think I will go use my EZ Flash Vi with my 3DS.
But my latest question: Can they ban you from online services if they find out (in Europe)?
