I hope they find a way to "downgrade" every 3DS with a CFW or a way to modify the actual FW (obviously when they decrypt it) and reintall it with the same bug :'3 a man can dream

neither of those things will ever happen unless exploits are found in higher firmwares AND furthermore nintendo's AES implementation is buggy (which I doubt). if the AES encryption is implemented correctly, we will never have a 'real' way to have softmod CFW. keep dreaming.

Can someone explain what this means to me? Does it mean there will be another Gateway card or CFW etc

Thanks

Homebrew and potentially roms without gateway (you will still need a DS flashcard compatible with 4.5 to run the gateway mode installer and a 4.5 firmware 3DS)

Could and actually doing it are two entirely different things. That's like saying:

"We knew it was possible to exploit a system.
So the Gateway isn't news."


What?
GW = Gateway

The Gateway team used this exploit already, so it has already been found. Ever since Gateway released their cart, people have had the ability to load custom code through the same exploit...

Gateway allowed signed content to be run.
Yeah, totally the same thing as creating and running homebrew / custom code, i.e. a new program.
This isn't a post about finding a new exploit, it's one about actually making use of it to do something non-piracy related.

I'm glad you... know acronyms?

But could it also load roms?

Yes. Yes it did.

No, of course not. The exploit Gateway USED did not require signed content. They just chose to make their card that uses the exploit run signed content.

Yet we've been able to do it since the exploit was made public. The real question is: What did they change to run the custom content, and what can be injected
I'm glad you... know acronyms?

I'll admit I was dick on that one :P



But could it also load roms?

YOU ARE A PIRATE :tpi:
To answer your question: Possibly. But who cares? We want to make our own games and projects, not run stuff we can buy!

    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
