Hacking 3DS Hack: "We hacked it"

[Ericthegreat]

Only "nerds" know about custom firmware and all that stuff.
but flash carts are really well known.. there are lot of moms that just buy them as the "100 games in one" cart or something..

Yea some ppl have a R4 and dont know they can even add more games to it.

Now we're kind of going offtopic, but actually every Nintendo system NES to N64 had region-locks, but this was determined by NTSC/PAL. So a PAL game (which would be European or Australian) wouldn't work in an NTSC (Japanese or American) system.

Then why did you quote me, I said that all nintendo home console systems had region lockout.

That's it I leave this shit here, cause I'm tired of typing to others who won't bother to read.

This was an electrical lockout (well, not in the case of the NES... the game would just run faster or slower depending on the region due to a different clock speed. They would also only play if you disabled the 10NES lockout).

Now, Nintendo also made two regions within NTSC. Asia and the Americas. These locks were physical. I.e. either the pin configuration was different (NES/Famicom) or there were plastic nubs preventing other region games from playing (SNES/N64). In the case of the SNES or N64 one could simply cut out the nubs or file them down to make out-of-region games fit in the cartridge slot and play. All those so called "adapters" really do is carry the pins directly without re-arranging them or anything because it's not necessary.

In the case of the NES/Famicom you would need an adapter to re-arrange the pins to play said game. You would also have to disable the 10NES lockout chip in the case of Famicom games on the NES because the 10NES would keep resetting the system as the famicom cartridges lack the second 10NES chip.

If you have no idea what a "10NES" is go here.

...

ONTOPIC: Region lockout < my cat. I want to play my Japanese copy of Tobidase: Doubutsu no Mori on my American 3DS XL as opposed to my small and tiny Japanese Cobalt Blue 3DS So I hope this hack gets rid of it!

(If you couldn't tell, my "ontopic" portion of this post is pretty much just rehashing 50 pages of this thread... the other 19 being useful posts...)

The toploader(NES 2) plays PAL, NTSC, and Famicom(provided you own an adapter) games.

Your point? Region locking wasn't to get back at those who had their wii hacked because the wii itself was region locked before it was even hacked. Even the GCN was region locked.
EDIT: In fact, all home consoles except the NA snes were region locked.

Uhh no? You said the SNES was not* region locked and ONLY the SNES. I was saying that all Nintendo home-consoles were region locked to an extent >_>

*oops, typed too fast and put "only the SNES was". Disregard that >_>

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I am fricking tired of repeating again:
I QUOTE MY OWN STATEMENT!

EDIT: In fact, all home consoles were region locked. However the SNES american one could be bypassed with an adapter.
THAT'S what's I've said one page earlier. Therefore you have nothing to say and I am tired of repeating to anyone who won't bother to read posts earlier to recall what the subject we are talkin has been about.

When the hack does get release, how does it usually go down (how do hacks normal go to the public). Will noimod or one of the team come over to gabtemp and post a thread on how to do it or will he just let it go on IRC or something?

I have no idea why you're flipping out. Please chill.
You misunderstood me as I did a typo, please re-read my previous post.

*oops, typed too fast and put "only the SNES was". Disregard that >_>

Now can we just get along? >_> I was never trying to be rude to anyone, I was just elaborating on Nintendo's region locking scheme... because you know, quoting isn't supposed to be a bad thing.

It will probably be a blog-style post on hackmii since yellows8 is involved.

Or,
Maybe if Neimod handles the release, a new forum will be created. Shakily justified by this little hint:

Forum?

A forum will be created when it becomes necessary, for e.g. actual discussion about homebrew development. Currently homebrew is not possible, so a forum is not needed yet. --Neimod 01:05, 29 February 2012 (CET)

The Snes was region locked, yes, but that could be bypassed by removing a couple of plastic tabs in the cartridge slot.

If I were a mod, I'd ban at least half of you.

 

[MoshMarioMaldona]

sorry, exactly what to do with these advancements in neimod and yellow8?

I'll update my compilations thread in a bit with what they're doing.

Yeah, because editing through encrypted garbage will surely do the trick.

Fail reply we got Kernel access the decryption aint far ahead

I bought that same bundle for $150. Go for it, man. Sweet deal.

Hey I just noticed that the bundle says mario cart 7 is preinstalled. Does this mean the game is on the sd card and I won't get a box?

correct, its on the sd card

 

[Deleted User]

HEH HEH HEH, I've had some info on what games the hack will work on all day. I'll add it to my thread in a bit. Does name specific games though. ^^

 

[sightlight]

when will they re announce? I would like to know?

yes it is on the sd card en your eShop account.

 

[Black2556]

This COULD be a DS Flash Cart, like an R4 running custom text.
