3DS Custom Firmware by Smealum

hackers should make pressure to nintendo release new updates so hackers had better change of finding one with big holes on it

there is always flaws on a security system, you just need to find them...

 

Looks like 2013 is a quite good year for 3DS hackers. I'm curious what will come out of this. Any way, good job Smea - to some that may be nothing important, but it's always something!

 

could the 3ds scene have their very own dark_alex, now that would be cooler than cool. god they were the glory days, where you had the big corp trying to play catch up with the hacker, instead of the other way round..............................sudeki300

 

why do people keep saying this? this gets thrown into every thread about 3ds hacks, and even on the other 2 threads about smea's progress. every time someone said that, he explicitly said that he never said anything about not releasing his work and for people to stop putting words in his mouth.

lets wait until he says something about his plans for the project before spreading rumors that it won't be released.

assuming smea's exploit is a version of the current 4.1-4.5 exploit, you know that it is already patched, right?

 

but your post is 100% speculation and run exact opposite to statements made by smea in the past.

the only person who knows for sure what his plans are is smea himself (well, and the team he is working with), but everything he has said up to this point leans heavily towards release as opposed to your claim.

 

what exacly happened?

 

I still don't get the "disaster" bit. Did DS games sell poorly?

 

I completely agree. If it wasn't for the R4 cart, I would've never bought quite a few games that I would've passed over otherwise. Like Feel The Magic, Magical Starsign, Elite Beat Agents, or The Legendary Starfy just to name a few.

 

and this is the problem. you are making shit up and presenting it as fact, even though the facts run counter to your opinion

(you are also generalizing)

 

Now all we need is a CFW for DSi That allows flashcards, and DSi Shop from older versions. (not really neccessary, just would be awesome)

 

Reluctant to purchase Pokemon X/Y because of this... My 3DS is on 4.4

 

Almost the same here! Ordered a Supercard DSTWO just to update, but now I want to hold off for a while.

 

why bother with flashcards if the dsi have an sd card which you can store your roms?

 

emulators are piracy and saelum is against piracy from what i read

granted if there is homebrew, there will be rom launchers and emulators

no way around it really, if people can create their own code, they will create emulators and rom launchers

 

If it's never released, does it matter if it's patched or not?




(not saying smealum doesn't intend to release, only commenting on the quoted comment)

 

The exploit is already patched. The community just mentioned that an exploit was found when 4.5 was the latest firmware and that was enough for the next update to have a patch for it.
