Hacking 3DS Hack: "We hacked it"

[the_randomizer]

but is it possible to get rid of the region lock?

Pretty sure it's possible, when it will happen is another story.

Will it really be possible to push the 3DS far enough to emulate and then 3Dify the game?

i dont know honestly but if 60$ set top box can do it for hd ,and the old sd 2d to 3d converter boxes that were out since mid 90's could do it i dont see why not ,cant need that much processing power if it was being done by cheap set top converter boxes since mid 90's

I wonder why he did that. Hope it wasn't because the news was untrue.

didnt he said it himself?

If the irc chat log was authentic, yes.

i saw it too, so if it wasnt someone useing his name (if this even works) then yes

I think that chat log was legit (Sifjar vouches), the question is why neimod would delete the news that he obtained kernel access. Its a possibility he didn't consider it important enough to be news or he has news of his own to update with instead. Or possibly his optimism was tempered be a new discovery (like AP, or some other access limitation). We can only speculate.

I guess they want to keep it just a bit more quiet. (lol, that's not going to happen)

 

[Bitbyte]

Because that's not what they use the "News" page for. You don't see yellows8's announcement on there either.

 

[Sandvich1]

What has happened in the past 20 or so pages? Any updates?

Perhaps something that will Check for a Game Card of another region and tricks the 3ds into thinking its that region and allow booting the gamecard?

I've been idling in there the past week. Their conversations have suggested that they are, indeed, running custom code on their 3DS's.

 

[SifJar]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but releasing the hack would not hinder their progress in any way since they can always opt to keep their hardware at the firmware revision that is exploitable. The reasons why they would opt to not release their exploit would probably be to test the stability and safety of said exploit, and also to maybe find a way to limit what can be done with the exploit. They already have kernel access at this firmware revision, so they can learn a lot about how the system operates regardless of patches. Everyone sit tight, and you'll probably see the exploit in the next coming months.

But why should they have to put up with outdated software and lack of shop access etc. when releasing the exploit wouldn't do the general public any good anyway? This way they can continue to get the latest features and shop access etc., while still investigating so that when the time comes for a release, it'll actually be useful to a "regular" user.

Plus by keeping the exploit until a later version of the software, anyone wanting to use the exploit will also be able to update to later versions and get any official benefits e.g. new features

Then why did he remove it, is he giving us a c**k tease?

If you read the changelog a little further, you will see it was a member of this forum that took it upon himself to register then change the 3DS brew homepage, not Neimod. That whole news post was just a defacing by Josephvb10

Calm down and read above post. These guys aren't as douchey as you people make them out to be.

So, Josephvb10 is the culprit huh? What a pillock. Why'd the wanker change it?

Yeah, Yellow has it all fixed up now.

Oh, good. At least we know who to eviscerate if it happens again. What a troll.
