Hacking 3DS decapping fundraising topic.

There is no reason for the public to see an image. He would of course share information obtained from the decapping, information he could only get from the decapping. Why do you people need an image of anything?

I was under the impression that decapping gives you an image of the diffrent layers and all there is to share from decapping is the image of the chips layers?

It gives numerous x-ray images. The images themselves would be useless to the public. The information the decapping company obtains from this process is what's important.

nope, $0 to go

Or the foundraiser site isn't automaticaly updated or something went wrong with your transfer.
Since it still states 2000.10

Wow, thanks "dad" for showing your character here. Are you in on the "take" for this money also? Taking money and not delivering should not be questioned? You will be ripped off, or at least not have delivery on something you pay for, and you will be judged as you are (attempting) to judge.

Agreed. I would have to say that most poeple on this site are not brats however the few that are make it look like that at times. It really depends which section/thread you are in though.

Anyway I wonder how long til this project starts going. Imho there's probably software mechanisms in the device that aren't going to be detected by a decap.

it's not, it's updated manually.
the transfer definitely went through because i got a confirmation from skrill once it had cleared

I like how he states "we're considering giving contributors a copy of the images produced as thanks". Oh, how generous. You're considering giving the people that funded the project the results of what they funded? Why wouldn't you? Is it to avoid letting Nintendo knowing what they already know about the system that they themselves built?

I also laughed at the manually updated donation page. Sketchy.

Don't expect it to ever get to $2300 unless Jl12 gets enough for his vacation.

This firendly fellow pointed out:

which is a bit unexplaining/inaccurate. They probably do smth like nanoprobing:


Hence images alone - if the important information isn't mainly stored in masked ROMs - won't help much. Even if it is stored in masked ROMs, those extracting from images is very tiresome.

By the way, I also think that expectations of the donors are that *every* information obtained by the process is made available to the public such that the 'greater goal' of opening up the 3ds is achieved faster.

Please excuse the means of upload but I'm on my tablet at the moment...

You have some balls to donate 300$ to such a low-trust fund now.

Sending the images to donators would at least give him some credibility. I don't care if the images themselves are useful or not, nobody should be comfortable with supporting a guy that has given no solid evidence that he's actually doing anything with this money aside from hoarding it.

I mean, what has he given? The name of a laboratory group and a job ID? What use is the job ID if you can't search for it?

Right now, all that he's promised is that he's going to take donations and then, when the donation goal has been met (or, when he manually allows it to be met), he will possibly say some stuff. Whether he's actually done anything with the money is up in the air.

I'm not too worried about it, I just donated $5 when this whole thing started. If something good comes from it ,great but, if not, then i'm not out of much.

He is a very respectable member of the community, your assumptions are rude and ignorant. Let me guess, like everyone else complaining and slandering an innocent person, you didn't even donate?

I never heard of him until this, and I haven't heard of him outside this drive.

The amount was reached and we heard nothing for like two weeks, then we suddenly hear that more money is needed.

As somebody who donated, I can't help but be a bit concerned at the lack of communication. As the person who's handling this, he has a responsibility to keep people informed of the progress within a reasonable timeframe.

 

[Deleted-188346]

I've never heard of him, and he certainly doesn't have much of a presence here.

You would be correct. Why would I donate to something that I believe to likely be a scam? Do I need to donate to a possible scam before I can criticize it?

Well haven't got his reply during weeks about his paypal access.
I'm afraid i may not be donating in time. So don't count on me on such a thing.

Spoiler

I heard that is awful to teach noobs. However i got more
- when i did make exercise for them (all in my friends group)
- very few of those have ever opened it so yeah neither tried it.
Even myself is another noob now, that's quite disapointing.

Rydian you're right. lack of communication is quite a problem

 

[Xarsah16]

For those of you who donated larger amounts of money/care about your donation - and if it is possible - I would recommend contacting your bank and seeing if it is within the time frame that you would be able to retract your money. It's worth a shot. I believe most of us have lost faith in this project.

 

[Rydian]

I haven't personally, I'm just explaining that it's fine to have concerns at this point.

Yeah, at least its good to here some sort of proof legitimacy from 3dsguy. We really just have to wait though, despite the eagerness for this to be done.

Why doesn't anyone try to run a microscopic 3D MRI on this thing? That would give is a detailed 3D image of the chip AND it's innards, not just 2D layer scans. Probably a lot cheaper, too.
