Hacking 3DS decapping fundraising topic.

[doorbell8423]

Yeah, people are not asking to send it to laboratory, just a little "i'm still busy" or whatever would be cool....

I do wonder if someone emailed him. maybe he would check his inbox per month.
hope he is not simply losing his email or other account due to the funds.
I should admit what you refered is just a question not an answer.
since all the ways now leads to hardware due to the encryption/signings now.
to be one with that ability of neimod has or just try to decap it.

Considering that the fundraiser reached its $2000 goal a while ago, the longer we go without an update, the worse the thoughts that run through the minds of those who donated and the higher the chances of refunds happening on those donations due to thoughts of being scammed.

Pretty much one of two statements needs to be made:

1) We sent the 3DS off for decapping

or

2) The estimated total was actually less than what is needed.


Better to get bad news than no news at all.

People say no news is good news, how stupid of them XD
In this case... lets say he'd better just cop-on and give us SOMETHING, or people really will started sharpening e-forks...

Not only that but they also have multiple IRC channels that they talk about how GBATemp are chumps that you can go to.

This scares me... Ugh. I'm glad I didn't learn of the project until after the goal was reached- I probably would have donated. Still, that is highly unprofessional to bash those providing the money.

 

[Cartmanuk]

it was a long time to reach $ 2,000, and now a long wait to get an update from 3DS decapping ! #disappointed

Give it time, were all so impatient.

It wont happen over night.

Yeah if you goto their forum they rag on GBATemp consistently I also saw someone else here who was keeping up with it mentioned this as well. gbatemp shouldn't of let this dude advertise his fundraiser from the get go. They always are on top of things, and if I were to try and get a thread about raising money so I could hack my keyboard they would shut me down quick. Just because these jerks have a wiki site does not make them reputable.

Just like the way we rag on other sites as well coughDSScenecough but in times of need (for the 'greater good'), it's better to work together than to get your knickers in a twist just because. Plus iirc, they weren't the ones to post/advertise the fundraiser on GBATemp. It was reported etc.

Jl12 isn't a Nigerian prince, by any chance? If so, I helped him get out of prison but he still didn't wire me that $1,000,000.

You forgot to send the $3200 processing fee and the $48000 tax to my account. That's why *tsk tsk tsk*

I don't know what DS scene is, but there doesn't seem to be much of a scene for the DS in general I wouldn't consider gbatemp a source of original content. So if there only use to those people who do fiddle with the consoles is giving money away then it is discouraging to see hate towards them.

I hope they do it before the release of Pokemon X & Y

I said earlier on in this thread that I could use a SEM for supercheap and somebody said the price was because the "removing the epoxy, delayering the chip" was the expensive part for labs to do... come to think of it I have no idea what kind of lab specialises in this kind of thing. I'm not exactly calling bullshit on this one but I'm skeptical.

Well then, try to get people to donate to your cause. I'm sure they would, because the first donation went so well.

Sarcasm aside, I know nothing about SEM, lab policies, and the like, so maybe you should email the company listed here and ask for a quote, then see how cheap it would be for the SEM you have access to, and see how the prices compare.

 

[Habstinat]

Well, I messaged Jl12 on Facebook about this on Thursday, but he hasn't responded yet.

I'm not really sure what the policies on this board are about revealing information, or whether it would generally be considered ethical in this case.

What do you guys think would be the best course of action for me and others to take?

The lab they intend to use and got the quote from.

I saw DiabloStorm 's status, and he's right- they want $2300 now. They updated the fundraising page to fix the number... :/

Everyone- until we get an update, DO NOT donate money. You may be just throwing it away at this point...

ONE thing that disturbs me as I glanced over this thread is that it may have been FOUND and is being used by others before "sharing" it like the op stated. Oh, sorry, tangent there. Remember the old, "We hacked it" claim? I also "heard" there was a save exploit found and it was public that the update by Nintendo patched it. I never confirmed the save exploit (whisper in my ear). A person began a thread to get something like this started for f0f to hack Wii U (release something usable). If you go into efnet then #wiidev and #wiiudev you find the same names. Give them "cred" by liking their tweets/forum posts and now giving some money? I feel badly if this was a scam (or later became that way). This is not like a car mechanic "taking a look" then telling you how much it will cost. IF an actual estimate was offered, and accepted, then money changes hands and the "fancy tools" are then used to deliver.

ONLY "out" I can see is if they estimated "We need $2,000" then upon inspection the company said, "$2,300, we did not know about...." Smells very suspicious to say the least. I hope it works out.

ok... Just waiting for the launch here at home !

Launch of what?

No shit it's suspicious! Those who lost their money to this know...
