The guy is doing it. Move out of the way Gateway, we got a new competitor in the house.

Wouldn't call it custom firmware, just a string change in RAM, probably impossible for 99.99% of 3DS owners to replicate.

 

[clienthax]

Mhm this could be interesting

 

[pokefan92]

Can't be true... Did he found a new vulnerability that hasn't been patched yet by nintendo?

Let's see what happens, but if it's true it's going to be interesting what happens from now on.

...Hmph. Yeah, Uh huh.

I recognize some of those letters.

He said he's going to work on a screenshot grabber later today.
The team behind this is Smealum, Normmatt, and ichfly.

Won't be released.
Unless Smealum is kind to us all.

Homebrew yay!

 

[Theconejo]

Stellar! Let's hope I qualify at 5.0 since gateway isn't an option for me. This is really exciting!!

 

[notmeanymore]

Now this might be what I've been holding out for. Maybe.

 

[Normmatt]

Yeah right, vids or gtfo.

 

[Huntereb]

Looks promising, but I won't call it anything until we get more proof.

 

[DinohScene]

Didn't Yellows8 or whatever that guy was also changed something in RAM?

 

[potato3334]

why does everyone use such low-quality cameras

 

[WiiUBricker]

RAM tinkering at best.

 

[dragonblood9999]

why does everyone use such low-quality cameras

that like asking why are all picture of bigfoot or aliens/ufos out of focus?

 

[clienthax]

Well he's a member of the forum, I'm sure he will appear here before long

I wouldn't use it with that Smeargle reference at the centre of the screen.

smealum is dead set against piracy, so the Gateway is safe for now

Topless selfies are also out of focus, are you saying boobs don't exist?

 

[chavosaur]

Ah, well I at least hope for emulators as soon as possible~
Would love to not have my DSTWO draining my battery all the time
