Hacking 3DS Hack: "We hacked it"

[nukeboy95]

DSi Action Replay is actually reported to work on the 3DS.

source?

Dr Pikachu, we know it boots itself. It will boot itself like normal, just using a slightly modified SAVE stored on the cartridge. The ROM won't be modified, it will still boot like any normal game.

Must be a troll account or just very confused.

same on 3ds it boots the game... the rom.. then reads the save... like a wii....but from it internal memory on the cart...

Except the memory is in a different place. You can take the wii game somewhere else but still not have your save data. You can take the let's say Ocarina of Time game somewhere else and still have your save data. Different place, different method.

Only for DS/DSi games. 3DS compatible does not equal 3DS game support.

Post count doesn't matter. It doesn't imply education. You guys seem to forget that the cartridge reads the cartridge, not the 3DS. You continue to ignore the fact they don't read from anything else.

Yet the game shown on-screen is available on the DSi.

...what? You can use that action replay on a 3DS, NDS, or DSi, with a Nintendo DS game. Simple as that. No 3DS games.

no processor on the cartridge.. .. only 2 chips remember..

 

[Dr Pikachu]

no processor on the carriage.. .. only 2 chips remember..

No it doesn't - memory handling is on the 3DS side of things, the cartridge is merely storage. It does not execute any code outside of what the memory controller inside the chip does.

The cartridge is inserted and sends a handshake message to the 3DS, which in turn reads the header information and the memory address to the game proper. After that handshake, if the user chooses to boot the game, the 3DS uses this address to copy a portion of the game into main memory and boots the code. The save file could be anywhere, the 3DS receives an address to it as well. What matters is that you can modify a save, and with this exploit, apparently the system does not check whether it is legitimate or not. The 3DS is entirely capable of reading save files from the SD card, which is how downloadable games store them. The problem with that is that saves on the SD have additional protection that nobody wants to bother with without a hack to analyze it already.
