Hacking 3DS Hack: "We hacked it"

[ShadowSora13]

I'm no hacker but let me help you
The exploit is done, neimod says it was an unmodified 3DS, so no soldering needed, My strongest bet righ now would be twigliht hack-like thing.
Also, people with access to this exploit can be counted on fingers of one hand (most probably), and it's a cart based game, so it can't be replaced so easily like the PSP games on Vita.
I bet the situation here (the 3DS scene) is similair to the situation on the Vita scene. Yifan Lu said that he has an Usermode Vita Exploit (UVLoader) but he won't release it, cause that would put it to waste. There's no way of writing homebrews, no libs to compile code with. Same goes with 3DS as of now

Also Yifan Lu noted that his exploit is nothing compared to the current work done on 3ds and that the chances we get "something" on 3ds 1st are higher.
all we know for the exploit is that we have to inject the save file(.sav) it can be done by a ds/ds lite by the 3dSavexplorer(not sure about the name) or a r4 save dongle or open the cart and do some soldering to the last 2pins(not sure too..)

BUT I bet that we will get something from ozmodchips neimod and yellows8 seems to be close with them so i smell a fpga based* peripheral** ready for the exploit \o/

Edit:So many errors in my text.... need to refresh my english xD

he said you have to open your gamecard

On his flickr he states that he has to open it to have access to the save chips. I hope we won't have to tinker with the game card.
I stand corrected either way.

 

[ShadowSora13]

yes its true he upload that some days before, here you go http://www.flickr.com/photos/neimod/page7/

[07:51:56] [@neimod] full control of the 3ds in kernel mode (arm9 & arm11) from an unmodified 3ds :]
[07:53:03] [EdTheNerd] HHNNNNGGGGG
[07:53:05] [@neimod] the sky is the limit!
[07:53:17] [EdTheNerd] Gib romz plox
[07:53:50] [@neimod] in theory it’s possible
[07:53:52] [EdTheNerd] Now then, make it do somethig cool, while displaying GBA TEMP BLOWS somewhere on the screen
[07:54:04] [EdTheNerd] Then enjoy the show
[07:54:36] [EdTheNerd] « neimod: in theory it’s possible »
[07:55:02] [EdTheNerd] T-10 seconds before gbatemp quotes that and pisses itself like an excited dog
[07:55:59] [jse] nice work neimod
[07:56:02] [jse] congrats
[07:57:34] [@neimod] unfortunately, we are elitist bastards who never share anything, so kiss that warez loader goodbye
[07:58:01] [EdTheNerd] So not to try to pry to much info here, but is this something you need a specific game/app for?
[07:58:31] [EdTheNerd] Should i by buying all of the eshop now?
[07:58:35] [@neimod] it’s based on a specific card-based game
[07:58:39] [EdTheNerd] Nice
[07:58:58] [EdTheNerd] How patchable would you say this is?
[07:59:06] [@neimod] very easily
[07:59:12] [EdTheNerd]
[07:59:41] [EdTheNerd] Still, amazeing work as always
[07:59:46] [EdTheNerd] Congrats!
[08:00:10] [@yellows8] SD version can be used too but ofc one has to run code first for that.
[08:00:19] [EdTheNerd] Now take careof that pesky region lock!
[08:00:33] [EdTheNerd] Could such a thing be posible with this now?
[08:01:55] [@neimod] yes, with full kernel control anything is possible

 

[RupeeClock]

he said you have to open your gamecard

It's entirely possible that whatever Neimod has, could totally blow open the 3DS and not require any exploit.

It's entirely possible that Neimod doesn't want to release an exploit that blows the system WIDE open, and has been looking for a smaller-time exploit to make a more manageable homebrew environment, that discourages piracy.

Neimod's Twitter(Propably mentioned or posted before but nvm)
https://twitter.com/neimod

Dont know if its the true twitter of him and not a kid trolling but assuming he said something is coming at 27/12/12 to ozmodchips and 2 days later he got Kernel Access i can say its true

Several days ago neimod mentioned that he was unaware he had a twitter. Looking at who that account is following (which includes waninkoko), it can be said with some certainty that it is not the real neimod.

Thnx for clearing this up i was sure it was fake but then saw the kernel access thing and made me believe he had.

[SuzieJoeBob]

he has obtained some kind of GPU control. and he wont release anything. Hey cmon!
[07:53:03] <@neimod> full control of the 3ds in kernel mode (arm9 & arm11)
[07:51:59] <@neimod> unfortunately, we are elitist bastards who never share anything,...

amazing! cmon I would love if this gets hacked today! I beg!

You are being really bitchy and repetitive. Please, just stop....if you want Android so much, buy a damn Android-compatible device!!!

 

[gamer765]

we are capable

No, more than half this forum is incapable of even following directions to get their flashcarts working, how do you expect them to be capable of hacking the 3DS?! Stop posting bullshit and PLEASE stop including yourself as a hacker because you are not. You are not part of the scene, we are not part of the scene (some belong to other distinct scenes). We only reap the benefits of the work of the real sceners. Just stop FFS, you're getting really annoying with your bs posts. JUST STOP.

Did you just come here from somewhere like Kotaku, or TinyCartridge, or even NintendoLife?

We've been following the developments on 3Dbrew.org closely, that was yesterday's new and this is today's.

This thread was as convoluted as Metal Gear's series order, and now it is as convoluted as Kingdom Hearts.

"We hacked this 3DS firmware!" And? Nothing's been released, we can't use the hack, we don't even know if anything can be done with said hack.

Sorry, but have you not been following the thread? There are people posting left and right of new advances.

There obviously is something being done, and now that they have kernel access, it's only a matter of time.
